Weight check = 6 lbs. 8.5 ozs.
Today I was struck by how Lilly's thin arms are getting a little meat on them. (Second picture. First picture is posted just because it cracks me up. What do you think Lilly is saying to me in it?!)
In the past two weeks we've really noticed that Lilly is putting on weight. It is incredible what a pound will do. She no longer looks like a skeleton with skin that hangs and bones that stick out. She still is thin compared to normal babies, but she's really rounding out. The skin on her thighs, hips, and tooshie are filling out nicely. I noticed Sunday that though her tiny hiney still fit in my hand, it was finally widening and her hip bones don't jut out. (A couple nurses at the hospital in Fla. said that Lilly had the "tiniest hiney" they'd ever seen. We agreed!)
Lilly has a long way to go to being chubby, but by God's grace she's on her way. :)

She is saying,
ReplyDelete"I guess my new nickname is 'TINY HINEY'"
