Littler No More!

Aiden has some big news to smile about, which is totally possible since both boys are social smilers now. While he is still, and will always be, the younger brother, he is no longer the "little brother." That's right folks, Aiden has passed Gavin in the weight category. At last night's weigh in Aiden was 10 lbs, 7 oz while Gavin was 10 lbs, 5oz. This is quite an accomplishment for Aiden because he has been working to catch his brother since birth. Aiden is being quite modest about the whole thing, "It is just nice to be the same size as Gavin, and for Mom and Dad to call me 'Big Boy' now too."

Gavin is proud of of his younger brother, and has been rooting for him to match weights from the beginning. When asked to comment on their new sizes Gavin said last night, "I think it is cool that he is finally bigger, but I have a feeling this is not the end of the story. I plan to catch him and retake my title as the bigger baby."

In a related story, Steve the cat miraculously lost 2 oz and is now 17 lbs even. How that possibly happened no one knows.

You go Aiden, my man! But I have to give Gavin props too since they are getting to be such big boys. Maybe, once those two are mobile, they can start chasing, I mean crawling, with Steve to help encourage him to loose those pounds.
It's so much fun to see them smiling at the camera. Can't wait until my next visit...
