An Innie, an Outtie, and a Stub (Still!)

The little belly buttons in this house seem to have as distinct personalities as the little boys to which they belong.

Conner is normal and has an innie, but it is not a normal innie. I guess you could say it's really more of a "flattie," because it exactly doesn't go in.

Micah has an outtie. It sticks out enough that you can sometimes tell even when he has a shirt on.

Joey is seven weeks old today and still hasn't lost his umbilical cord. Most babies lose it around 2-3 weeks old, which is when the other two lost theirs. Joey is going at least three times that long! The doctor said, "Oh, he hasn't lost his cord yet," when he went for a checkup last week. But she just cleaned it out and said, "You know what they say, the longer they keep it the more of a mama's baby they'll be!" We'll see...
