Six Weeks Later

A quick update on Malcolm's little brother.  Kieran was six weeks old on October 1.  I had him weighed the day before and he was a whopping 13 lbs, 13 oz!  That puts him around the 95th percentile.  I'm not sure how long he is but he must be pretty long because he has outgrown almost all of his 3 month size sleepers and comfortably fits into 6 month sleepers.  He is chubby and generally just one big boy.

Malcolm and Donovan continue to really enjoy their brother.  Donovan asks to hold him every day and will sit and rock him for 15 minutes at a time.  Malcolm is also keen to hold him but loses interest after a couple of minutes (note that that it is difficult to maintain Malcolm's interest in much of anything for more than a few minutes, unless said something includes a screen...).

Overall, Kieran is fitting into our family really well - his presence does not seem disruptive and adds more richness and interest to our lives.  We are all so happy to have him with us!
