Filling Out the Wrinkles

chubby fingers

It's been said that people would rather clothe than feed Tourtellotte children.  I like to think that's because of our fine fashion sense from a young age but it's more likely the perception that the former is a cheaper endeavor than the latter. 
Maura has had a very good appetite from the beginning so we shouldn't have been surprised when she got weighed last Tuesday at age 8 days and she had gained 12 ounces since she left the hospital.  Yes, that's 2 ounces a day, and in general a growth of 1/2-1 ounce a day would be considered adequate for someone her age.  It's good to know that even when she spits up and requires 6 outfit changes in an hour that she's keeping the bulk of the food down.

  1. I just want to kiss those little fingers and toes! I was once told that long toes are a sign of wisdom, if that hold true then she will be VERY wise.
