I Secretly Call Him “Cheeks Wilson”

Asher is a chunk!

I have watched him plump up over the last 6-7 weeks. He now has great, magnificent cheeks. You might even call them jowls. Last week, at a doctor’s appointment, he weighed in at a whopping 15 pounds 4 ounces. That’s nearly double his birth weight in just 9 weeks!

Plea to the universe full of poeple who generously buy us baby clothes because baby clothes are so adorable and irresistable: PLEASE, NO MORE NEWBORN / 0-3 MONTH CLOTHES! These are almost always cut for babies weighing 12 pounds or less.

Last night I went through Asher’s clothes and pulled out dozens of outfits, many of which he only wore a few times. Some were never worn at all. They’re all totally cute and totally too small.
