Eyes and thumbs

One of the inevitable realities of having a second child, is that you are constantly comparing him to the first, both in terms of whether they do the same things but also how you, as a parent, approach the whole experience.

At a week old, "Number two" seems to open his eyes more than I can remember Kirin doing and he is getting close to thumb sucking. More important, I managed to grab a lovely pic of him doing both.

On another note, thanks for your comments both offering answers to the logic behind the last post's title (correct answer: a combination of weights of our two little lovelies; most creative answer: Avtar's suggestion that it was the amount of weight I had lost through pacing during labour) and some ideas for names (the best beer title was from Derek, offering a brand from Calgary: "Big Rock" Mattu). We obviously have a clever set of friends of relatives.
