My baby is really growing. She's pretty tall compared to other babies older than her, and not to mention "heavier" too. She's VERY active especially when she's on the floor, or must be doing something like going up and down the cot rail. I think that's why she's hungry more often now. She takes 5oz every 2 hours plus 2 solid meals (Each meal, the food is filled to the brim and it's not those watery kind).
She does her big biz in the pot, at least 3 times a day. Morning, aftern (After meal) and night (after meal).
We have yet to know her weight and her growth measurements as she does not have a jab till she's one year old. :)
