When we brought Renna home nine weeks ago she weighed about 4 lbs, 12 oz. Today we went for her 2 month check up and found that she has grown to weigh 11 lbs, 5 oz. The girl can eat! She is in the 75th percentile for weight -- and that's among babies born at term. If we put her up against the premies she'd be off the charts! She's in the 50th percentile for height so for now she's a chub. She eats about every two hours or so still. She has about 4 chins (great for catching and storing milk in) and we can no longer see her knees for the pudge on her legs. We are very pleased of course that she's growing so well! She's got gorgeous blue eyes and a pretty calm disposition. She's a noisy little thing -- she has a repertoire of grunts, squeaks, squawks and snorts. We're waiting for the "cooing" and smiling to start as the books on babies tell us it soon will. I am thrilled that the pediatrician lifted our restrictions and we can now take Renna out in public. After a month on bedrest and 2 months home with her I'm really excited about getting out.
