BIG Brother

When I was about 8 months pregnant with Vaughn, one of his daycare providers asked me if lifting and carrying Greyson was going to hurt the unborn baby. She's kind of old school so I just laughed it off and moved on. I would carry G from the car into school every morning, up until the day I went into labor.

After having Vaughn, I was advised not to lift anything for at least two weeks, including Greyson. I heeded that advice for the most part, and it was at least a week before I tried to lift Grey. HOLY COW was he heavy! After toting around little 8-ish pound V, Grey was suddenly a giant. I don't think he gained any weight, his heft just became apparent to me, and even now I struggle to lift him. Thank goodness he's past the stage of wanting to be carried all the time!

And it's not just his weight. His paws are enormous. I can't believe how large his hands and feet are when I trim his nails. When he lays down in the bathtub, he's almost as long as the tub. His shoes seem almost as big as mine, and he's about 41.5 inches tall. These boys are both growing too fast!
