These photos were taken today - she's almost outgrown her moses basket, which is meant to last her until she's about 4 months! The Plunket Nurse saw her on Wednesday and she's put on 300 grams in the past fortnight, which is quite good. However she's also grown another 2.5cm, making her 61.5cm - she's nearly grown a cm a week since she was born! So most of the weight gain is actually length - she's going to be tall!

She's also had a "dribble rash", under her neck, which is near enough clearing up now, thanks to some steriod cream. Otherwise she is good and is progressing each day. I think it's only a matter of time before everything starts being put into her mouth - she's constantly sucking her fingers, and is now just starting to grab things.

She also giggled yesterday for the first time - but already seems to have forgotten how to do it, as she hasn't giggled today - just smiled most of the time!
