10-4 Good Buddy

In this day and age with so many downers, like the stock market, the housing market, and Richard Simmons, it's nice to know that there are some gainers out there as well. Count Gibby as one of those. At his 1 month doctor visit he weighed in at 10 pounds 4 ounces, surpassing his birthweight by about 2 pounds (8 lbs 3 oz). This little piggy went to market, had his roast beef, and finished it off by eating a chocolate cake bigger than the one Bruce Bogtrotter finished off.


You wouldn't really know it though as he still looks pretty tiny. But this kid has a pretty healthy appetite. Teri couldn't be happier. Gibby's big brother wasn't a good nurser so having a little one who sucks as much as the Miami Dolphins is a blessing in Teri's eyes. It's built a special bond between the two of them - so much so that Gibby's favorite perch is right on Teri's shoulder.


As usual for little kids, Gibby enjoys the little things in life like eating and sleeping. He has even found time to take little naps out on the lawn.


All in all, Gibby is a happy kid. Although we can never quite coax a smile out of him for the camera he did almost indulge us when Teri was singing to him.


We sure love Gibby and we're glad that he is such a sweet little kid. His patience with his big brother is remarkable. Just don't tell him that he'll have to wait for dinner. I tried that once and things didn't end up so well.
