I just did a little Growth Chart research to get an idea of Amelie's size. At 7 1/2 months she's the size of an average 4 month old baby in the U.S. It's not unusual for Ethiopian children to be much smaller, and she looks so healthy in her photos so we're not concerned. I actually like the idea that she's tiny...it will give us more time to carry and baby her when she finally comes home. Oh- speaking of "carrying" her, I got a baby sling last week and I love it! It's for infants up to 35 pounds, so I'll be carrying her everywhere for a long time.

I recently read that the growth charts for babies aren't exactly correct anyways.. because they did all the research based on formula fed babies, not breastfed babies, so most normal American breastfed babies don't fit on the chart anyways!
