We're always trying to get Karston to eat, since he will often eat very little, and he doesn't weigh much for his age. Since he ate a good dinner, we let him have an ice cream sandwich afterwards. Later this evening he wanted to watch Scooby Doo, and he asked for a Scooby Snack when Scooby Doo got one. Quickly we offered him a vanilla wafer, something we have that looked like what was on the TV screen. He ate it! Then he ate four more! I can't believe our Eatless Wonder had most of a Mickey Mouse hamburger, then 1.5 ice cream sandwiches, and then 5 vanilla wafers! Just remarkable. He probably won't eat for the next week after that, but what a surprise!
In contrast, Cale is eating well: he weighed 10.3 pounds after his bath. Yes, that's naked weight! So he has gained over 2 pounds total in the three weeks after birth (exactly three weeks in 5 hours), and that's from birth (not from the low point of his hospital discharge weight). Like they say, if you have two children, they're completely different.
