Brett - 10 weeks

• Brett has definitely earned his nickname of "Chunky Monkey." At his 2 month checkup he weighed in at 13 lbs 2 oz. He has already outgrown most of the hand-me-down Christmas outfits and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet!
• Brett has the cutest one sided grin I have ever seen.
• Brett is refusing to develop any kind of routine. I think he secretly loves that his schedule-oriented mom can never guess when he is going to want to eat or how much. He will eat anywhere from 3 oz to 7 oz in a feeding and will go anywhere from 2 to 8 hours between feedings.
• Brett is a bit of a home-body. He gets this from his mom. His happiest days seem to be when we pretty much stay at home and he gets to hang out with his mama all day.
• Brett is going to be a blankie boy. He cannot sleep unless he is wrapped up in a big soft balnket. When he is a little fussy, if he can get his hands on a blanket, he usually quiets right down.
• Brett also desperately wants to be a thumb sucker. His mom desperately wants him not to be. I would much rather that he have a pacifier, since you can take a pacifier away when you need to break the habit. You cannot (at least legally or ethically) take a thumb away. However, he will spit his pacifier out and try his darndest to get that thumb in his mouth. When he manages to connect thumb to mouth, he looks so darn proud of himself and content that, despite his mom's reservations about thumb sucking, she can't resist letting him enjoy his accomplishment.
