With Real Auntie Derin as she leaves

RAD left us last week and we were sad to see her go. She helped us out by watching you some nights so that Mummy and I could get a solid six hours or so. So also helped out when Pops had to travel for a week for work. And she got to see her newest nephew.
She is back in London now, and she will have seen you again during the Christmas holidays, when we take you to Lagos.

your personality is developing, and we can see glimpses of who you might be as a young man. You really, really, like to shout, so we are hoping that is just a phase, or a sign that you have something to say.
On an unrelated note, we went to the doctor's on Friday and found out you have eczema, much like your parents, so it is going to be a steady diet of hydrocortisone for you so that you can have healthy, happy skin, like those people in the commercials that we don't see anymore because we watch everything on a DVR. (Ask your pops what a DVR is if they don't exist when you are older.)

Who is the bearer of fresh fruit whenever she comes by. In fact, Pops made Mummy an apple pie today, from scratch and all of that. We thank Auntie Luba for her kindness.

Size doesn't matter

But we had to find out some of your vitals at the doctor today. At 3.5 months, you are 11 lbs 11 oz (5.3 kg) and 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) long. This is probably more precise than Pops putting you in a metal bowl on top of the food scale at home.
Ahem.
You weren't too happy about the calesthenics, but your head, height and weight are all aligned smartly.
