More about Amirah

Amirah had her two week appointment today (actually, 12-day). She is looking dandy. She now weighs 7 lbs. 9 oz. and is 21 inches long. Which means she got back to her birth weight plus 6 ounces, and is now 2 inches longer/taller. Hmmm…or was she was just too curled up at birth to get an accurate height measurement? Regardless, she is in the 29.8 percentile for weight, 80.1 percentile for height, and 26.1 percentile in head circumference. She also has long, skinny fingers and toes. She gets the hiccups all the time, which is nothing new. She got them all the time in-utero. Amirah makes really cute faces as she falls asleep, including adorable smiles. Her skin seems to be constantly peeling, but supposedly that will go away soon. She likes to stare at people, and goes a little cross-eyed every once in a while. She’s a very good girl.
