Elizabeth, Scott and Scotty Wilder

By candle light

S. S. Wilder experienced his first blackout last night and was fed and changed by candle light.

This didn't seem to bother him -- he just kept on gulping milk ....

With one candle lite, we decided to celebrate his 3 week anniversary. See pics below...

Sounds of silence

Most of the time, the S. S. Wilder sails smoothly around our apartment.

But lately, he has been having some indigestion problems. Nothing serious. He just drinks/eats so fast that he hurts his tummy and we have to force him to take a break. That's when we hear lots of interesting sounds coming from his stomach.

Here he is reflecting on life after letting one loud burp go across the bow.....

He often reflects on the meaning of those sounds...

2.5 weeks

The S. S. Wilder's latest measurements:

Head size: 37 centimeters (50th percentile)

Weight: 8 lbs and 9 ounces (50th percentile)

Length: 21.5 inches (75th percentile)

Note: The measured his length by laying him flat on his back, sticking his feet against a wall, and measuring him with a big ruler.

First Cafe....eating habits

The S. S. Wilder went for a short spin this afternoon and ventured into his first cafe. 

EA and I took him to Food, Inc. We sat outside because BabyWilder is not ready to mix it up -- and go inside a restaurant or cafe, and be exposed to other people's germs.

Despite Food, Inc.'s great sandwiches, we didn't give BabyWilder any food until we got home -- where he is getting a bit fussy -- one minute wanting milk, the next minute pushing Mommy away. Word has it that this is the result of a) growth spurts or b) he might be having an allergic reaction to Mommy's milk (he might be lactose intolerant)

Time for Dr. Wilder to investigate!

It is important to note that BabyWilder is challenging Mommy -- cause he is hungry quite often. And he has his father's eating habits of eating a lot, taking big bites and gulps, and not breathing between each bite or gulp. 

Like father like son

"We spent the day working out together"

"And then we decided to call it quits -- well, we were so exhausted, we fell asleep socializing"
