lil peanut

Our lil peanut is 5 months old! We took her to the doctor last Friday. She is still VERY small, but she's growing!

Weight: 10 pounds 3 ounces
Height: 22 inches
Head: 15.75 inches

All her stats are below the 5th percentile.

I have been very concerned about her small size, but her pediatrician assured me that she is fine. She has almost tripled her weight since birth. We're so grateful for her!





People always want to see Ave's scar. Here it is. It looks really good!

She is so darling! I can't believe she is the same size as my 3 month old! But it makes sense since she was premature. :) I love the picture with the bow in her eyes - happens to Em all the time. :)

Wow that is hardly even a scar at all. She is getting so cute I cannot believe it has been five months. I also have to notate that she has finally reach the weight and height that my children are at birth....Yes don't worry I envy you more!! I think I would like to give birth to a smaller child for once. haha!!

Okay. So I am finally getting around to looking at a few blogs. So you went with choice #2, the safe bet. It'll look great. I can't believe hotels were only $7.00 a night. Was it just that one time? My kids LOVE LOVE hotels, so you'll have to let me know the details. I'm so glad Avery likes her Bjorn. And I realized you got those gift certificates, and you are still doing your no junk food month. HOpefully you'll get to use it later. :) And one of these nights, we need to do a movie night again. Talk to you soon. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you much the other night at RS, I was busy making sure everything was in it's place. :)
