Since Thomas was born, Jessie and I probably had probably taken only one picture together with him and that one was taken in the hospital minutes after his birth. One reason was that Jessie did not want to show herself in pictures before she gets fit again. The other is that Tom was the sole theme for all activities and pictures. Finally, we decided to have a "family union picture".

Last month, when we visited the pediatrician, we were confident that Tom had reached a new high. We believed that he would be in the 90th percentile range for both weight and height, because when we measured him at home, he was over 15 pounds. However, the moment I put Tom on the scale at the pediatrician's office, both Jessie and I were totally shocked and saddened by the number shown on the digital display. It was less than 13 pounds. Even after we asked the nurse to weight Thomas again, he was only slightly heavier than 13 pounds with clothes on. I later figured that either our weighing Thomas at home was biased to the higher end, or the doctor's scale was malfunctioning. 

Here is how Tom progressed into his 4th month！(click to view the gallery)

Tom's grandpa is a tech guru. Albeit he is a mechanical engineer by training and spent his whole career working on it, he picked up computer skills very quickly and became a true expert after turning 65. Now he spends at least 12 hours a day on computers crafting photos, buiding websites, and surfing the web. "Born to be online" is probably a better title for him than for myself, :-)
