Eating and weight gain are big preoccupations in our household. Last week when I took Sadie and Jack to the doctor the doctor was concerned because Jack's weight gain had slowed down. We went back to giving Jack additional breast milk in a bottle after breast feedings to try to increase his weight gain. So far it looks like it's working. When I weighed Jack today he had gained 4 ozs in 6 days, which is not too shabby. Sadie's weight gain is slower, but does not concern the doctor because it is consistently 1/2 an ounce a day. She's just smaller and may stay small.
In the 10 weeks since they were born Jack has gained 2 lbs 11 ozs and Sadie has gained 2 lbs 7 ozs. Soon they will be so big we will not be able to pretend to eat them any more.

Doesn't J realize A Modest Proposal was purely satirical?
