Growth Chart

Elizabeth is now five months old! We are keeping track of her progress monthly and I cannot believe how fast she is growing. She grew very quickly the first two months of her life and is now averaging one and a half pounds and one inch a month, except for last month. She gained more than she grew. Chubby baby!
