Woodland Antics

 The forest of gum trees made us look tiny. Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life...  I love how the bark of the gums drape.

Given that Clay will be 4 months in just a couple of days I should post his 3 month bear picture that was taken a month ago. At 3 months he...  weighed in at 5410 grams (11 pounds 14 ounces)  {25th percentile} His length was 56 cm (22 inches) {almost to the 5th percentile}   head circumference was 41cm (16 inches) {75th percentile} A better side by side comparison... * I had to change his 2 month  "digital baby book" information because I had converted his weight in pounds incorrectly.  Instead on 9 pounds he weighed 10.
