McCabe is doing well and growing so much! At his 2 day check up he was 7 pounds 9 ounces and at his 18 day check up he was already 9 pounds 3 ounces. Leighton was only about 7 pounds at McCabes age.
McCabe is very different from Leighton when he was this age. McCabe is gaining weight much faster. Leighton was a better sleeper at night (McCabe is still pretty good though). Leighton would never burb, whereas McCabe sounds a lot like his father when he belches. Leighton hated baths and McCabe loves the warm water ... it puts him to sleep. And there are many other differences as well!
Our first week back at church I was telling Tim Rude all the ways that they were different He commented with a smile, "It's almost as if God made each of us as individuals!" I appreciated his pastoral wisdom! It was simple, yet so true. God really does consider all of us individuals and cares for us as individuals. He had us in mind, as individuals, when he died for our sins on the cross, and he even has more thoughts about each of us than the number of pieces of sand on the shores or hairs on our head. Leighton and McCabe are both so amazing and so individual.
Leighton really does love his brother and is growing very attached to him. He gets so excited to be by him and touch him. His face lights up when he first hears him wake up in the morning. Our house has grow a little more noising and even chaotic at times, but it is filled with an exponetial amount of joy as well!
However, it took him a lot longer to eat it and as nap time appraoched, he started to get very very sleepy ...
He was fighting the sleep so badly. He would start to fall asleep, then barely wake up to eat another delicious bite, and then fall asleep again. This cycle went on for about 5 minutes! We hope that his love for pizza continues. We can't wait until he tries his first spicy sausage pizza from Casey's, Luke's all time favorite!
We love Babe McCabe and think he is adorable! I love being a mother and I could look at my babes forever. What is it about sleeping babies?

Leighton and McCabe took their first bath together. Leighton was trying to be very helpful; He even helped me get McCabe wet and then wash the soap off by filling his bath toys with water and dumping it on McCabe. You can see Leighton's servanthood in action below ...
Our BIG BOY is feeding himself already and it isn't too messy either. He loves the idea of using utensils like mom and dad! We are impressed at how much he actually gets on the spoon and up to his mouth! This allows me to be a little more free during meal time. More free to hold McCabe that is ... not necessarily more free to eat dinner myself!
