The Cricket is Growing!

I haven't updated on any of the little one's developments lately, so let's see what I can remember from my various growth report sources:

• As ZZ Top reminds us, she's got legs -- and she knows how to use 'em! Definitely able to identify what is her and what is me (hungry tummy, growling intestines, etc.) nowadays.
• She's got a full head of hair and eyebrows to match.
• She's occasionally sucking her thumb. (awwww)
• She has near-normal sleep/wake patterns. i.e. She sleeps when I'm moving and wakes up to wiggle and punt when I'm not. Nice.
• She is covered with slime. Okay, she's covered with "vernix caseosa." Same diff.
• She's also hairy. Okay, she's covered with "lanugo." Same diff.
• She's about 7.5" long and weighs about 16 oz. In other words, she's a pint of beer!

The miracle of life. It's a beautiful thing!

(PS: I'm finally getting the hang of this blog thinger and I think I changed the settings so you don't have to create a Gmail account or log into anything to leave a comment. Just remember: keep it clean! This is all for the child's eyes someday...)
