Here is an update on their stats:
Chapman
Weight: 6lbs 14oz (2nd%)
Height: 20in (5th%)
Head: 14.5in (20th%)
Our tiny little man. He is on his own curve and doing great. He likes to eat more frequently than Tenny does. He is often the one initiating the feedings, especially at night. He is a snuggle bum and curls right up to you. He really likes to sleep on your chest. His features look the most like the Anderson side of the family. When he is awake he is really awake and alert. He likes to be social and see what is going on. We got our first big open mouth smiles from him at about 1 month. He gets worked up pretty easily and is the louder crier, however, after he has everything that he needs he is a pretty chill baby for long periods of time. He likes being swaddled and sucking on his binki, although he doesn't require it to sleep every time. We switched him over to size one diapers, but only because we ran out of newborn diapers, he really fits those much better. He has super skinny legs with no chub. He has two red birthmarks both on the right side. One is on his bum and one on his back. The doctor said they will most likely fade or go away all together which is surprising because they are quite large. He doesn't have very much head control yet and pretty much hates tummy time because of that.
Tennyson
Weight: 7lbs 2oz (5th%)Height: 21in (36th%)
Head: 14.5in (20th%)
The younger brother, but the bigger, denser brother. He is a pretty serious baby most of the time. He hates baths, diaper changes, or being uncomfortable at all. He is a serious sucker. Sometimes we think he might suck so hard his binkie will split in half. He is a fabulous sleeper and loves to be swaddled. We have to wake him up most often to eat because Chap is ready to go. We often wonder if he could go all night without eating but don't dare try it yet. He has mostly Evans features and is a spitting image of his brother Benny's newborn pictures. He had a little bit of cradle cap this month, which went away quickly, but also took his blonde hair with it so he now has a receding old man hairline. He is a very rigid baby and fights snuggling up to you, especially when he doesn't want to go to sleep. He doesn't cry very easily but has to work himself up to it. He usually sticks his bottom lip out before getting too worked up. Haken has lovingly named him "the brick." He is super strong and doesn't mind tummy time too much because he can hold his head up so well already. However, he was starting to prefer laying on one side of his head and getting a flat spot so we had to start watching that and readjusting him often while sleeping.
