Length: 22 1/4", 75th percentile
What a relief! I figured the length would be fine, because she keeps outgrowing her footed sleepers (we're now firmly in the 0-3 month size rather than newborn, and edging towards 3-6). But I was worried about her weight - she seems like a skinny little bean! And of course we always worry about getting enough food into her, especially with our crazy feeding combo (breast, pumped milk, formula) - which I'll have to devote an entire post to later. But it seems like we've nothing to fear; as her doctor said, "Keep doing whatever you've been doing, because it's working!"
Here's a few photos of the munchkin:
Whoa - birds and leaves and things!
She's recently really been able to focus on things a few feet away, and she'll watch them for minutes on end. As well as this swing, she loves the animals that hang from the bar on her bouncy seat, especially the elephant.
Playing in the fresh air!
my serious baby
To keep the baby from entirely taking over this blog, so that I can eventually go back to crafts again (well, assuming that any crafting is occurring!), I'd like to announce that Raley has her own blog for daily photos:
http://raley365.blogspot.com
Also, this firmly proves that I am a new parent in the digital age with long-distance family. Please visit and feel free to leave comments!
And, in the category of "things I wish I didn't know" I now have special expertise in self-diagnosing mastitis. Yep, it came back... exact same symptoms, exact same spot. Same antibiotics, new dose. Hopefully this will get rid of it (again)!

Mine outgrew all her newborn stuff about the same time (she's 24" at 2mo.). Baby clothes don't seem to have a big and tall option.
Posted by: Emily on April 23, 2008 08:06 PMRaley is looking great! Yay for a well baby! She's going to be tall!!
Posted by: Jody on April 23, 2008 08:10 PMHow yucky about the mastitis. That is one good-looking baby!
Posted by: Kelly on April 24, 2008 07:35 AMWhoo HOO!!!! Meli seems HUGE to me these days - I swear - the time is just flying by and these girls are growing like weeds.
So sorry about the mastitis.
Posted by: Cara on April 24, 2008 08:50 AMGlad you were able to self-diagnose this time and get help quickly!
Posted by: Jenna on April 24, 2008 09:03 AMWow, look at those red hairs (hair and eyebrows!) Looks like she's a redhead!
Sorry to hear about the mastitis, I never got that in the 6 weeks I breastfed/pumped.
Posted by: Robyn on April 24, 2008 01:24 PMOuch I can relate I got Mastitis this time around. What did they do before antibiotics and pumps! Adelaide is in the 50% for weight and 90% for length...so also a long skinny baby. My babies never fit the 'preformed swaddle clothes' being long and skinny so I use handmade muslin 3 foot square clothes for swaddling (and then when they get bigger is doubles as a blankie with the sleep smell on it). You can buy them here
