camera apparently adds a few pounds

The number of visitors Jack can receive is fairly limited, but a few people outside of his parents have seen him. One thing most of them have mentioned is how much smaller he looks in person than in photos. I guess a few that we have posted are either close ups or happen to show off certain features, like his chubby cheeks and the Bigelow chin.

While he is definitely [very] large for a preemie, he is still a shrimp, now weighing a little over six pounds. His hands and feet are tiny, and when he breathes you see his little rib cage. So far this morning he has been putting down milk and formula at a rate similar to his dad with beer at happy hour, so hopefully that helps him pack on an extra pound or two.
