New Stats

We were very lucky to receive updated information on the baby already!

These were taken on July 7th. So at 4 months, he was


Length ~ 62cm/24.4" (>25th%)
Weight ~ 5kg/11lbs<3rd>
Considering he dropped off the chart for his weight, I was originally a little concerned (the IA doctor hasn't emailed us back about the #s). Not anymore though. When I looked up the kids' #s, I saw that at 4 months, they were both 24", Abram was 12lbs and Elizabeth was 11lbs 9ozs. So 11lbs for a baby in a 3rd world orphanage, I think he is doing very well!! Like the doctor said last night, while his arms and legs may be skinny, he has "chubbier" cheeks and "fatter" feet and hands, so he is good overall.
