Reaching new heights


Daniel was measured today for the first time.

This will please my Danish relatives who couldn't understand why he wasn't measured as soon as he was born. Apparently they don't do that here because of the difficulty and discomfort of stretching babies out straight.

He came in at 50.5cm or just under 20 inches. His head circumference is 36.5cm - compared to 33.2 at birth four weeks ago. And he now weighs 3.3kg or 7lbs 3oz, which means he's put on a kilo in four weeks.

What's more the health visitor said he's in perfect proportion, so he might yet make a world class footballer!
