Sleepy Alyssa weighing in (above).
Valencia dozes during her turn.
Thanks to Page's patented and perfected baby-weighing system, we were able to check to see how Alyssa and Valencia are growing! Subtracting clothing and diaper, Alyssa is about 5 lbs 1 oz and Valencia is about 5 lbs 10 oz! In the span of one week, both girls have gained just under a pound. They are doing great and happily meeting all the wonderful volunteers who are coming to help them and love them - thank you!
Extra help is needed this weekend since many are out of town for the holiday. We do not expect Noah and Bibiana to be coming home, but things can always change. At the most, we may have Bibiana come home, and we'll update the blog as soon as we know. Both Bibiana and Noah are gaining weight but just need additional monitoring. Please check the Volunteer Spot for times this weekend where help is needed, even if you can only sign up to help during a feeding time. Thank you!
Yes, you might laugh at the baby on the postal scale, but this was a well used tool in our house when Olive was a baby. As she grew she went from a bread pan to a baking tray to a stock pot. Check her out at 10 lbs http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fInTjnKvl4s/SIvsTfM3keI/AAAAAAAAAHc/ED8BN3R5vJc/s1600-h/weight_10lbs.jpg
ReplyDeleteNow she just stands on the scale.
Alyssa and Valencia are too sweet and Ose was so glad to see that they were growing.
