Ladies and Gents, we have ourselves a Chubba

Big Chubba
You are getting veeeeeeery sleeeeepy
Scout is now a month old and has expanded exponentially since her birth. She puts on something ridiculous like 300 grams every week (the average is around 150 grams) and feeds like an absolute demon. Not surprisingly, she’s been suffering a bit with the Wind in the Willows (we also have a little song for that, but I won’t subject you to it) and does massive adult-sized farts and burps. And here I was thinking we’d have to curb our wanton emissions when she came along so she wouldn’t get any bad habits. Pffffth.
My boobs have also not settled yet, so are quite engorged every feed, which means Scout gets this overwhelming hit of milk which she gulps with vigour and ends up with an overflow of milk all down her chin (we call this “getting some Clancy”. That’s one for Australian readers…)
She’s healthy though, and happy and has just started to smile at us rather than near us or at the ceiling. She may be a big chubba, but damn, she’s cute….
