Happy Birthday, MVP

Well, we did it.  We kept another human being alive for an entire year.  I'm pretty sure that's some kind of record.

Here are some quick stats on how we managed to do that

Then:  6 lbs 7 oz, 19.75 inches
Now: 21 lbs 12 oz, estimated 29.5 inches

As you can see, our daily stretching regimen, which incorporates an ideal ratio of passive, isometric, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, allowed the MVP to increase his length by about 50% over the course of the year.  Meanwhile, our modified chankonabe diet which consisted of large amounts of porridge (true story) allowed the MVP to more than triple his weight over the same period!  Eat your heart out, Akebono!

Anyway, we'll post more thoughts about how this year has gone in the near future.  In the meantime... lert's unwrap some presents!
