My hungry, hungry hippo

Miaka has a new nickname: Hungry Hippo! I admit, it doesn't bring to mind a flattering image, but it fits nonetheless. She is hungry all the time, being a baby does that to ya. And she's growing fast! She is 3.5 weeks old today, and weighs 7 lbs, 10 oz. That means she's packed on 1 lb, 3oz since she was born. That's over 18% of her starting weight!! She has also grown an inch taller. However, she is STILL smaller than Krillin-at-birth. ROFL

Pictures will be posted tomorrow. Today was crazy. And I finally found the cord for the camera. :)

there is definitely that period of time that a nursing mom feels like a cow...with a calf constantly attached. Cute nickname!

Somehow can't picture or think of "Julie Boolie Boola Bug as HIPPO... doesn't compute..." Anxious for the pics. You getting snow again?
