A little pink!

Three pounds 6 ounces of pink to be exact! The little thing has decided to grow! She reached enough grams that she can hold her own body heat so the clothes went on. The next hurdle will be to drink from a bottle. She loves her pacifier, so don't think it'll be a very large obstacle for this growing girl.
She was a month old yesterday. Big changes for such a small bundle of pink.

Wonderful! I can't see the photos tonight because Blogger is only showing the little boxes with the red x's. I'll stop back by to see them though.

What a little precious!! I am so glad she is progressing and soon she will be holding her own bottle. I look forward to your updates!! What a happy New Year...

She's such a doll! That pacifier looks as big as she is! I hope she'll do just fine with her bottle and continue to gain. How much does she have to weigh to get to come home . . or is weight the determining factor?

So glad to hear such good news. I've not been able to read blogs recently and am so happy that when I did it was great! She is a cutie!

She is SO beautiful! My now almost 5 year old son wasn't quite that small when he was born - 6 weeks early. He was 4.5 lbs and 17& 3/4 inches long. Long and lean. He, too, used a feeding tube for a while, but he didn't take too long in gaining weight. Prayer is definitely the key. Congratulations on the progress!
