Fatty Fatty Fat Fat

So there's been some confusion about Gus. He was more grumpy than Jacob the first few months of his short life, so Bryan started calling him Grumpy Gus. Then he started getting really fat really fast, so the name Gus Gus (from Cinderella) seemed to fit as well. And he just looks like a Gus. So we're hoping the name sticks.

Now that that's cleared up, more about fatty fatty Gus Gus. At his 4 month appointment, he weighed 17 lbs 3 oz (93rd percentile), was 26.5 inches (95th percentile) and his head was 17.25 inches (90th percentile). Proportional, but FAT. I told Bryan instead of writing his stats down, they just wrote "Huge" by everything. He's wearing 6 month shirts and 6-9 month pants. It's so weird since Jacob is still such a shrimp.

And whoever says that fat babies are better because they don't eat as often are LIARS!!! Fat babies are fat because they eat A LOT VERY OFTEN

Here's a picture of the first time I tried to feed him rice cereal. Jacob really wanted to taste it so I let him and he made himself gag enough to get up a big spitball and spit it out on the carpet. It was pretty funny to listen to him gag, especially after I told him he wouldn't like it

A pretty good picture of them together. These rarely work out, so I was glad to get this one without Jacob poking Gus in the eye.

Jacob wore these pajamas last October when he was 6 months old till he was about 8 months old.

Trying to teach him how to sit up. He looks like he wasn't amused but he really didn't mind it

Gus has started smiling at Jacob all the time in the past few days - it's one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Instead of getting all tense around him, he just grins and grins at him. Jacob rarely notices, so it doesn't happen when Jacob is trying to get him to smile or anything - Gus apparently likes him now. I was trying to get a picture of them smiling at each other and this was the closest I got. After I took this, Jacob nuzzled his head into Gus's stomach and Gus just started giggling and giggling. It was the first time they've interacted like that without Gus crying.
