Growing quickly!

I recall my mother-in-law telling me to double the age when picking out baby clothes (for example, buy 12-month clothes for a 6 month old). Elena was always right on for clothes so I thought maybe they just made clothes smaller back when we were kids. But it turns out Elena just took after my side of the family - the doubling-age technique is how you have to shop for "Myhre kids."

Sammy has definitely inherited Seth's physique. He moved into his 6-9 month clothes before he even reached 3 months. He is now 15 1/2 lbs - approximately the size Elena was at about 6 months. I find it funny how he looks like a normal baby when Seth or his brothers hold him, but when I hold him he looks abnormally gigantic. Boy, am I glad he came out 2 weeks early at under 7 pounds!
