This week, Monkey is developing taste buds. The Zoo Keepers are having many heated discussions about whether eating ethnic food at this time will develop an appreciation for those cuisines later in Monkey's life. Monkey is also working on that big brilliant brain, lung development and gaining weight. Between last week and this week, he's probably gained a quarter of a pound from last week, so just under 1.5 lbs total. Checking in at about a foot long, BabyCenter advises you to 'picture an ear of corn'. If you need a more immediate point of reference, this is about the distance from Zoo Keeper's elbow to the middle of her (admittedly petite) hand.
Yes, that seems crazy to us too.
