This is Sam:
Sam isn’t looking at you like that because he’s being forced to share his swing with Annabel’s doll. Nor is he looking at you like that because this angle makes his uneven newborn hair look like a receding hairline. He’s not even looking at you like that because he’s sad that he has been dressed in horizontal stripes. He’s looking at you like that because he’s trying to gain you sympathy because his parents, slackers that we are, kind of forgot to mention his existence.
So we are mentioning it. This is Sam. He’s *mumble mumble* weeks old.
Internet: He’s HOW old?
Uh, *mumble mumble* weeks old.
Internet: We still can’t hear you.
EIGHT weeks, okay? He’s almost eight weeks old and we haven’t written about him and we are terrible and we’re sorry.
Okay?
Okay.
Don’t hold it against the baby. The baby is totally innocent in all this. Say hi to Sam, internet.

Well, you may have forgotten to mention him, but at least you remembered to bring him home. And, you know where he is, like, right now. So you get points for that.
Muchos Congratulationos!!
(It is beautiful and sunny our for the first time in many days. There may be margaritas afoot. Hence the ‘accent’!)

Are we ever going to get the details – date, weight, length? I’m wondering is he was as healthy (big) as his sister. Congratulations to all of you.

Oh, right. I left that part out! Born on February 3rd, he was significantly smaller at birth than Annabel was: a teensy little 7 pound, 12 ouncer and only 20 inches long. But he rapidly caught up and last week at his two month check-up we learned that he is now the exact same height that she was at two months and, at 14 pounds, a full pound heavier. Apparently, Sam wanted to save his growth spurt for outside the womb. (I am grateful. Oh, yes, I am.)
