Babies in Yet More Containers
It has been some time since I have posted photos of babies in containers, and a number of good ones have accumulated in the last few weeks.
For example, Emily in her Christmas stocking.
Garcia in the dryer.
Cannon in the washing machine.
Cannon in the grocery basket.
Garcia in serious trouble.
And Alden in . . . love?
It's possible. Cannon came over for a visit today and after riding their stylish plastic cars together, they shared a moment at the horrible plastic entertainment module.
In addition to being less than a week apart in age, residents of the Eastern Shore, and hat wearers, they share another interesting characteristic: both are too small! Both Alden and Cannon went to the doctor today and both were prescribed three teaspoons daily of sesame oil as a means of fattening them up. Alden gained exactly nine ounces in the past three months, bringing her weight to 14 pounds, two ounces, small enough to be less than the fifth percentile in baby weight. The doctor is not worried (we let him know that Alden's grandmothers are 4'10" and 5'3" respectively) but nevertheless, we have been charged with bulking up the child.
I relish the challenge.
