This morning, we noticed something strange with your belly button. It was swollen and poked out too far. When Daddy pressed on your belly, your innards pushed your belly button out farther. This was pretty gross and not quiet right, so we went to see Dr. Brown again. Dr. Brown said "no problem, no worries, you are fine. It is just a herniated belly button." Apparently this happens all the time and it heals by itself.
We elected not to post a picture of your weird looking belly button as it may be embarrassing for you when you read this in the future. But we can show a chart of your latest weight.
Congratulations Malia!!! You weigh 8 lbs 2 oz. This means that you gained a little more than an ounce a day since your last doctor's visit and you are now in the 10th percentile. Keep on eating kiddo!
Naomi had a herniated belly button too. Can't remember how long it took to close up, but it does go away. But we do have a bunch of bathtime pics that show off what used to be more of a belly balloon than a belly button. :-)
