She's so tiny!

Some of you know that I have been a little concerned about Ila's weight gain, as she is on the low end of the weight gain scale. She's gained 2 1/2 lbs since her birth, that's about 4-5 oz a week. (Babies are generally suppossed to gain about an oz a day, although 4- 7 oz a week is acceptable.)

Since we have so many babies we know that have gained lots of baby fat, mama has been a little worried -- although Ila's pediatrician and the lactation specialists don't seem to be at all concerned. She's just a petite baby! So I'm just gonna not worry. But look at this photo, don't you think she needs to gain some weight compared to her cousin Jackson who is just 3 weeks older than her?
