Baby Junior Mint: Reminiscing...

A few times since we adopted Curly Fry, people have compared his seemingly buff little stature to the long, lean frame of 7 year old Junior Mint and suggested that Curly Fry will end up as the bigger of the two when they're older. Maybe. It doesn't matter to me. But for those of you who didn't ever see Junior Mint as a baby, here he is... 10 lbs. by the time we left the hospital, 12 lbs. at his two week check-up and 16 lbs. at 4 months, with no neck until he was 8 months old. The only disadvantage of marrying a tall man is carrying the tall man's huge baby. =) My body hasn't been the same since, but it was worth it. =)



Just before delivery: Here's why I've never been the same...8 lb. 15 oz. of baby in there.

You could only see his neck if he leaned back like this.

He was a happy big guy.

Squeaky Bean still wears this outfit sometimes and she's nearly one. Junior Mint wasn't even 2 months old here.

This is why I hardly ever put him in pants...he looked squeezed like a sausage. Poor guy.

He is so adorable. Just think of all the arm muscles that you built toting him around.
