...Aiden! I bet you thought it was going to be Gavin. Actually Gavin weighs 8 lbs, 3 oz now, but I thought I would give Aiden the big headline for once. Those of you who have been closely monitoring the boys' growth probably noticed two things. To start, we have two very big boys who each gained more than a pound in the last two weeks. Also, Aiden is finally catching up to Gavin. Watch out big brother!All of this weighing was made possible thanks to a friend of a friend that lent us a scale. We
found out we would be getting it a week ago and I have been anxiously awaiting its arrival. Ian pointed out that we probably owe the scale's owner a car because I am that excited (remember I still don't get out all the often). After finding out at the boys' last doctor's appt that we didn't have to return until September, I knew that I wouldn't make it that long not knowing.We weighed Aiden first and I was shocked to see that he had made it to 8
lbs exactly. After knowing that, I think I expected Gavin to be close to 9 lbs since he has always been so much bigger. You can imagine my surprise when he was a mere 3 oz bigger than his little brother. After always seeing Aiden as "the little one," I really had to change my perception of their sizes. I purposely dressed them in the same outfit yesterday just so I could really see how close in size they are now. Gavin is on the left and Aiden is on the right.So I also took the opportunity to weigh Steve, which turned out to be a really bad idea. Not because he didn't cooperate, because he actually did, but because I had to face a sad reality that he really has been stress eating. This is almost too embarrassing to blog about, but our dear cat is a whopping 17 lbs, 2 oz. Although, I maintain that he is big boned, I still think I may need to look into Kitty Weight Watchers for him.

Great job at beefing those boys up, Sarah! You know how I love beefy babies...and cats! Holy moly, Steve!
I think Steve just wanted his own blog about how well he's doing at gaining weight, too! Maybe now that you've acknowledged his accomplishment he will resume a more practical diet. Or maybe he needs acai berries like Oprah. According to the ad on Facebook she lost 27 lbs with acai berries. Stupid ads.
Props to the boys for blowing right through the 7's and all the way up to 8 lbs! Wow! Hopefully I'll get out to see you guys before they make it to 18! We'll talk.
YEAH! My man's getting huge! Good job to Gavin too of course. I don't want him to be jealous of my relationship with his brother ;) Must be good to know they have healthy appitites. Just wait until they're teenagers. That could be interesting.
And poor Steve... he'll get there. Everyone needs to stop stress eating once in a while.
