10 Pounds of Adorable

We are still alive and have made it to 6 weeks! Little Girl is growing well... really well. At her last check-up she has caught up with the rest of Babydom and is now a whoppin' 10lbs. 2oz.! (Mommy thought her back was aching for a reason!) She also grew 2 inches in the past month and is now a long-for-her-age 22in.

She really is getting big. It sort of happened overnight. Last week, Adam and I couldn't figure out why her car seat buckles weren't snapping. I had been coaching Eva, "Stop sticking out your belly, ChickenBean." Then we suddenly realized... oh! she must have grown! That is why she was dying to eat every hour and a half last week. Glad that passed!!

In case you were wondering, "ChickenBean" comes from two names my mom always calls her little babies: Chicken Little and Lil Bean. I call Eva those too and, as you see, sometimes they are combined to form a delightful new name. Wink.
