As long as he was, 3-6 definitely sounds about right. Length seems to be the dominating factor for sizes. They make the sizes all smaller than they should just so people feel all impressed when their x month old is wearing x+3/6 months clothes.

We had a ton of clothes that never fit him. Hats were the worst, the biggest we could find was 6 months hats, and those were too small at birth. Eventually we just stopped giving him hats to wear (fortunately the winters are mild here).

We recently found out my wife is pregnant again, due on my birthday (4/14). My son will be 18 months then, so I figure that's a good enough gap. He's the only grandchild right now and will be for some time, so we need to make sure he doesn't get too spoiled. He already has become an expert at hamming it up to get attention from people, so this should do him good to get over being an only child before he's 2. Plus, I have to make sure my genes spread at least as fast as Greear's.

It's still super early so we aren't telling many people yet. She was feeling really sick initially, then hasn't felt very sick since and is a bit worried. We had a miscarriage 2 years ago, so there is always nerves for that. It still is a bit hard waiting until you can see a heartbeat and know that things are most likely OK. Most people don't even know they are pregnant this early, so miscarriage is a lot more common than people realize.

Nine months. Favorite activities:

- Screaming contests with Grandpa
- Peek a boo
- Shaking her head No, and waiting for you to do the same back.

Standing unassisted a few seconds at a time now.

I'm completely biased, of course, but +1 anyway! If she keeps this up, we'll run out of wall space.

I forgot, 7 teeth now, working on number 8. I think grandbabies grow up even faster than your own babies!

GF is having her gallbadder removed tomorrow morning. She is 28w2d.

It's been causing her a ton of pain an caused her to develop pancreatitis. Hopefully all goes well.

We just had an ultrasound and he's measuring 2lb10oz so the doctors said if something goes wrong he should be big enough to get him out and survive.

Nurse just came up to my room and told me her and the baby made it through the surgery ok. Should be up here within an hour.

I guess I know I'm in a happy mood since the Tigers are getting raped and im still happy.

is ur son old enough to know what is going on with the new arrival?

that's the only thing that will kind of suck, my daughter being too young to be excited about her little brothers arrival.

Here's the announcement video I put on youtube, and also in another lounge thread. Nobody understood it. Save one. But when you know that it's to announce that my wife is pregnant, it might be a little funnier.

Daughter will be 2 on December 1st. She's a great talker and already steals my ipad from me constantly. She loves going to my soccer games, and always talks about being a soccer player which makes me smile. She has hundreds of stuffed animals and won't go anywhere without taking as many as she can pick up which is a huge PITA. Crazy how fast they grow

Nice pic.

Been awhile since I pimped it in this thread, but for new parents/parents-to-be, I can't recommend the book Happiest Baby on the Block enough.

Also, just finished Nurtureshock which was really interesting as well (think Freakonomics for parenting).
