She's a big'n

Just like mom! Naomi saw her doctor today for another well-child visit. It turns out our precious little angel is 22 inches long - they measured twice! She's in the 96th percentile for her height. This means she was probably just scrunched up a little too much at birth to get an accurate reading OR she grew two inches in twelve days. She was weighing in at 8 pounds 13 ounces, and that might be because she's been formula fed. I've seen a lactation consultant and been on a strict routine of breastfeeding followed by pumping with a hospital rental every 2 - 3 hours for 40 minute intervals, but unfortunately my milk never came in and at this point, it won't. This has been difficult for me, but I'm just happy that she's healthy and seems mostly content with formula.
So... Naomi just started crying with real tears, and she's learned to grasp things with her hands - like my hair or the bottle or our fingers. She's focusing in on our faces and I swear she smiles! She's gassy, like her dad, and likes to nap a lot, like her dad. She's got the cutest little ears that fold down on top, and the midwife today said she looked just like a little pink elf.
