Here is her "official" baby picture.
At birth, Alexandra was 21 inches (53 cm) long and weighed
7 lb 12 oz (3.52 kg).
As of 15 May 1996, she weighed 10 lb 3 oz (4.62 kg) and was beginning to make
language-like sounds.
On 04 June 1996, Alexandra weighed 11 lb 11 oz (5.30 kg). She definitely is
talking now -- but the only actual English word so far is "hello"; the rest
of her vocabulary may or may not be based on English, but requires a certain amount of
translation (e.g., "oo-nee" with the accent on the second syllable
clearly means something to the effect of "I am very upset", but its etymology
is a mystery).
Well, here it is almost Christmas and I haven't updated this in over
6 months. Alex is now over 8 months old, and weighs over 20 pounds -- she
weighed 19 lb 2.5 oz (8.69 kg) and was 28 inches (71 cm) tall at her
"well baby visit" to the pediatrician on 17 October 1996. She does a lot
more now than she used to be able to. I'll have to make an
Alexandra's Accomplishments page one of these days.
There are more recent photos of Alexandra here.
Now with links to Christmas pictures!
