Our baby is growing...

Our little girl is not quite as little anymore. She is growing taller and looking just a bit older in each photo we receive. We haven't had any written updates on her since September 2008 but we did get a tiny bit of information last week. She is now 19lbs and 30 1/2 inches long. Which means she gained 2.5 pounds since September. She also has 4 teeth on top and 4 on the bottom. According to US growth charts, she is not even on the chart for weight (not surprising) but she is almost an average height for a little girl her age! I have a feeling she might end up being the tallest one in our family!

I was hoping more than anything to learn more about how she is progressing. Does she eat any solid food yet? (When I visited in Haiti she had still only been introduced to bottles, no cereal even though she was 14 months old at the time!) Does she stand up? Babble? All that milestone stuff that us mommies like to take note of.

Apparently, running the generator at the O has gotten so expensive, they only run it for 1 or 2 hours a day...which mean no electricity all the other 22 hours of the day. This makes it very difficult for them to get on the computer to do updates.

Anyway, we are just so thankful she is growing and appears healthy! We are STILL in IBESR of course, with 200 or more other families. We'll keep you posted if we hear otherwise!
