he takes after the biggest baby in texas...

i finally put some batteries (they are the annoying 3 volt kind) in our fish scale and we weighed Bodie - 14 pounds! we (bry and i and bry's parents) were all taking bets as to how big he is. bob (bryan's dad) told me, "now you got yourself a baby!" - this is coming from someone who weighed 14 lbs 10 oz at birth...holding Bodie it is hard to believe any baby could be born naturally at home that big...but that is what the birth certificate says! i told sue at Bodie's 2 week appt that it isn't fair because i never got a newborn...i gave birth to a 3 month old - i looked up a 3 month old developmental milestones and here is where Bodie stands:
