Mathilda

When we tell people your first name, they usually break out in song, either with 'Waltzing Matilda' or Belafonte's Matilda. I've never heard of the latter and it was more popular during the grandparents' time. He's the Day-O guy, so Wikipedia tells me. When we tell people our age about your middle name, they just think of Homestar! We hope you turn out to be smart and quirky like your name implies.





All you do is eat and sleep every 3 hours, with minimal fussiness. You are the easiest baby ever. You were labeled as the overachiever because you were always measuring ahead on growth scans and you got into the perfect position (anterior vertex) starting at 15 weeks and stayed that way the whole time.





You are definitely my child, with your Asian features. Dad calls you all sorts of demeaning names that would trigger an eating disorder if you were 10 years older. Little Piggy, Fatty, Chubby, Ham, Chunky, etc.
You had no issues with latching and you are hungry all the time!





You have such a cute milia-ful pig snout and and such chubby cheeks! If you scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page, the Mii that Dad made reflects your face perfectly. You only had two minor issues in the hospital - your jaundice (insert yellow skinned joke here) and the congenital hip dysplasia aka 'hip click'.  Your little feet are full of lancet scars from when they kept checking bili levels.  Hopefully all the relaxin will go away so you won't have to be a dork and wear a brace.  You are starting to smile more every day and you are going to be so much fun!!
