Opposites

It is amazing to me that 2 children from the same parents can be so different! I was discussing this with the boys doctor yesterday during Meekin's 2 month well baby exam. She informed me that he is now a whopping 12 lbs, 12 oz - which puts him in the 70th percentile for weight. How did this little pork chop end up so much bigger than his big brother, who barely made the 10th percentile for weight in his first 18 months?
Meekin also appears to be an occasional fan of the thumb, while Henry (still!) prefers the sucky thing. We occasionally have conversations about when the sucky thing will disappear, but for now, it remains a constant part of nap and bedtime. During our doctor visit, we mulled over the pros and cons of thumbs vs. sucky things and didn't really come out with a clear answer. The opinion of the doctor is that you do what works.
