Leila is five months old...well, almost!




Since Leila just had a well-baby visit with the doctor, we decided to post her latest stats a little ahead of her 5-month birthday (which is only a week away). She now weighs 6.2 kg (about 13.6 lbs) and is 64 cm tall (about 25.2 inches).

She's in good health and has been gaining weight well, although she is still below average weight for her age. According to the charts, she was 20% below average for weight when she was born. Now she's *only* 7% below average so it seems she's at least catching up a little.

We're not absolutely sure, but we think Leila has started teething. She's gnawing on anything and everything she can get her hands on and is constantly drooling. She seems to particularly like Daddy's fingers... These photos give new meaning to the phrase, "Finger lickin' good!"
