Shaefer has been throwing up so they have been worried about his weight gain - he was born as a 5 pound 4 ounce baby (a little runt). At two weeks he was only 5 pounds 15 ounces so they asked us to bring him in at 3 weeks to check his weight again! (Drumroll please.....)
Our little runt now weighs 7 pounds 8 ounces! WHAT?!? He gained a pound and a half in one week - they love it if they gain an ounce a day! Anyway he is getting so big! It is bitter sweet for us because we want him to get big and strong, but I don't want my baby to grow too fast!

Holy cow!! Look how big he's gotten! He looks like a real baby now, not just a premie guy...and he is so darling (or should I say, handsome?) I'll bet you are both in heaven and loving every minute with him!
Wow, great job beefing him up!! He's beautiful.
Awe! Way to go mom and Shaefer! He's so cute! We want to play with you guys again!
