Benny has a twin.


I just can't get over how much Justin looks like Ben did when he was a newborn. They're like twins, only Ben had long black hair & Justin's is shorter & more spread out. He makes the same facial expressions & everything.

Of course Justin was eager to claim his place as a true "Brown" child and has demonstrated incredible skill (like his brother & sister did before him) in limiting his periods of sleep to no more than an hour & a half at a time, but thankfully (UNLIKE his brother & sister) he prefers to make his needs knows in a humbler, more quiet fashion; in other words, he's not a screamer- yet, heh! PTL!
He loves sleeping with daddy & isn't as restless with him as he is with me.

Yesterday the midwife came by & Justin is doing very well. He's gained 200 grams (which according to her was very good as she said on average newborns lose 50 grams in the first week), putting him at a grand total of 3.450 kilos AND he's grown 2 cms! My shorty wants to catch up! 51 cm & climbing.

One thing she did mention was that he looks a little yellow, but after we explained to her that he was probably just taking after the Chinese roots in Chris' family she understood... heh, JK!

Tanning with daddy!

  1. you should post some baby photos of benny so we can compare the two.
    If you put him in the sun a few times a day it should help with the yellow skin.
    I love you guys.

  2. Tender Mommy is looking more like a tired whale than anything else, so I think we'll wait on those pics, heh. Maybe I can get Ruth to work some of her magic with the camera & get some good shots, we'll see. LY!

  4. I am so happy to see that Stephy and Dave started a photo blog for the baby. I've been wanting to see recent photos of him so bad. It's so cute how his feet are so long and look just like Dave's.
