a comparison...

james...












nora...

okay, so i just looked it up and nora was 12.5 pounds at this age... and james is 13 pounds, 3 oz.  funny how nora was 90% and james is only 75th.  otherwise, they seem to be doing things about the same.  they both smiled first around five weeks.  and love to do it!!!

as an aside, i pulled out the sheet they gave me at the doctor's that had james' weight on it.  it gave parenting tips...   such as... if your baby is crying, he may be hungry or tired or have a dirty diaper.  (or be hit by another child...)  if i haven't figured this out by now... i am in trouble.  i am sure they have to give and say all that stuff, which makes it all the more sad.  some parents haven't figured that all out yet (especially by the time they get to subsequent children!
as for the vid...  nora loves to have music on when james is in the swing.  and you can tell what a first child/little mother she is by the meticulous way she put elmo in the swing (and just asked me for a new diaper for elmo...).  she's SUCH A JOY!!

Ok - am I missing something? How does James weigh more than Nora did at this age, yet the percentile for his weight is less???

yes... but he is a boy, and she is a girl... it took me a minute on that one, too!
