My Big Fat Asian-Irish Baby

My son is turning into Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.  Double chin.  Giant hammies. Dimples on his elbows.

My tiny nugget newborn is now Chuy from Chelsea Lately.

Oh, I forgot to add his monthly pic.  It is a few weeks old, and he is chubbier now.

For his 2 month appointment, he was 23 inches long, and weighed 11 lbs 3 oz.  It was also shot day, and "fake baby" was not happy.  His head turned into a cherry tomato, and his scream was delayed by about 3 seconds.  He was over it in a few minutes, but was extremely tired that day and the next.

A few days later, we had the MRI to check out the bump.  They decided to give it a try without the sedation, and I was very relieved that he cooperated.  The nurses wrapped him up like a little egg roll, and taped him down right nice, and boy did he put up a fight!  Once he got into the tube, he cried his little heart out for a few minutes, and then fell fast asleep.  They had to bring the tray out so that they could fill his IV with the contrast, and that woke him up.  They tried a few frames, but he was crying too hard and moving about, so they had to redo them. For the last frames, the tech actually got into the tube with him and held a binky in his mouth.  All in all, the procedure took a little over an hour, and when he was done, he was all smiley.  He was even smiling at the mean murse (male nurse) who gave him his IV (not really, he was a very nice murse, but he pricked my baby, so I have to say he is mean!).  We should have the results next week, and I keep praying that it is just superficial, and nothing alarming.

On the flippity flip, did anyone used to watch "All That" or "Kenan and Kel" on Nickelodeon?  The character Kel used to love orange soda, and sang a song about it. 

"Who Loves Orange Soda? Kel loves orange soda. Is it true? Mmhmm. I do, I do, I do, I do, I do-oo!"

So now my brother always asks if Kel loves orange soda.  So cute <3
