Almost a real boy!

Who does Link look like?

People keep asking who Link looks like. I maintain my pre-pregnancy belief that all newborns look like aliens. He was born so little and scrawny and really resembled ET. See? 

 

By the Numbers
Over the last three weeks, Link has gained a lot of weight.

Birth weight	6lb 2oz
Low weight	5lb 8oz  - all babies lose weight after birth

We need more numbers, and graphs
 Our Withings baby scale (thanks Eisenbergs!) tracks every ounce, and uploads to the web where we can track his progress on a growth chart.

Percentile 

Link started out at the 3rd percentile for his age (not corrected for gestational age). The number isn't too important, rather the trend. We want to see him at least maintaining that curve over time, and looking at the graph you can see him climbing, now at the 5th percentile.
