Perfect treat for pregnant women during the summer ;)
And yes, while I was preggers, I craved pickles...not ice cream though.

Speaking as a breastfeeding mother of a 2-month old boy who DOES like to eat every hour and a half or so during a growth spurt (3 weeks, 6 weeks, etc.)...milk is not going to make an infant grow that big or tall in 6 months.
It looks to me to be some sort of metabolism problem, since as a previous poster said, infants stop eating when they're full although bottle-fed babies tend to eat more than breastfed (hindmilk from the breastmilk is higher in fat and calories than foremilk and basically signals 'full' to the baby).
It may not be a condition detectable by blood tests, looks like a thyroid or pituitary condition that may cause giantism.

With a newborn baby, sleep is non-existent. And I am one crabby momma when I get less than 4 hours...thank goodness he's started to sleep through the night a bit...at 5 weeks.

I think it's an absolutely wonderful picture (my little guys is not quite 3 weeks old yet) and very well done.

I used to live in Puyallup, my grandmother had lake front property in Shelton. We'd cross the Narrows bridge every time we went to the lake. It was always an adventure...

Actually, toric lenses (made for people with astigmatism) are weighted and always stay in the same position. These could be similarly made.
My husband has to have a toric lens for one of his eyes and says it feels weird when he first puts it in because it repositions itself but then it stays put.

Raise one eyebrow....but only my left one.
Wiggle my ears...but not independantly of one another.
Sneeze with my eyes open, but if I do it with my contacts on, they'll pop out.
Tickle myself...I run a finger along the top of my hip very lightly.
Paralyzed finger trick, yes, I can.
The 6/8 thing with the leg. Also the rotate fingers thing.
Hubby can do the tongue touching nose thing...he has a very long tongue. It's useful for other things as well ;)
Referring to #6, Tinkergirl...my son (he's 7 weeks old today) can cry/wheeze in two seperate tones...it freaks my husband out. Sounds like the kid is possessed ;)
And my favorite single-eyebrow raiser has to be Christopher Judge...."Teal'c" on Stargate: SG1
