Here we see the first images ever taken of Trig Palin. First in the corridor of the hospital with Sarah’s parents on April 18, 2008. And then later the next week sometime between Monday the 21st and Wednesday the 23rd. Here let’s get a better look with a closeup. Isn’t he cute? Just look at those chubby cheeks. Now the next time we see a baby identified as Trig Palin it is in these now famous photos from the Palin’s kitchen . Some of you may remember that the caption read “Mommy InLaw Trig an Myself” This is a picture of Mercede with Trig and Bristol and the caption read “Family Love”. Originally this picture first showed up on the Tyra Banks show. I have recently learned that all of these Palin kitchen photographs were taken by Sherry Johnston on Saturday May 3rd, which was Levi’s birthday. It was the very next day, Sunday May 4th, that the pictures from the Kristan Cole hosted baby shower were taken. Now if you go back to the top and take a very careful look at the baby held, first by Grandma and Grandpa Heath, and later by Sarah with Todd, you may notice how chubby that baby’s cheeks are. Now compare that with the pictures of the “ruffled ear” baby that appeared in the Palin kitchen. Did this baby go on the Atkins diet in the week between the hospital on April 18, and the Palin’s kitchen on May 3rd? For me this evidence is not as definitive as the cauliflower ear, but the change in weight is certainly striking and yet another clue to consider when piecing together exactly what happened in the first few weeks after Trig’s “birth”. Also keep in mind that the only pictures we have that show the “ruffled” ear were taken on one weekend in May. Both before that, and after that, we do not yet have ANY other pictures that reveal the damaged helix. So the questions remain, who is the “ruffled ear” baby? How come he does not appear in any photographs today? Was he the same baby shown back in April? And if he is not, who is THAT baby? And just how many babies do the Palin’s have access to? Gee I wonder if Meg knows? Or maybe, like Phil Munger suggests , the person who really needs to step forward is Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson. Update: Some of you have brought up the fact that babies can lose weight after they are born and this is indeed true, so of course I asked a doctor about that during my preparation for these posts. I think the majority of you know what his response was. Don’t forget that this is supposed to be a baby that is born a MONTH PREMATURE. And for the person who suggested I am leaving breadcrumbs, you my friend go to the head of the class. Also keep in mind that I am writing for at least two very distinct audiences. Some of the things that might seem easy to dismiss, or innocuous, to some, are freaking other people out of their minds. Count on it. Update 2: It looks like Ozmud was already on this case back in December .
