we are trying to help yalei know her nights and days. she is starting to stay up a little longer during the day. this morning she was up for almost an hour! i can't remember for sure, but i don't think aviyah was this calm. i think aviyah was always a little bit of pistol. for a brief bit last night, yalei needed to be held a little bit longer to fall asleep, and i remembered that i think aviyah was like that all the time.
it's hard for me to tell exactly who she looks like, and i think her face still changes every dat. i remember that a lot of people also felt that aviyah looked like me at first, but i think it's because of course the babies don't look exactly chinese. but, i think aviyah and yalei have always looked different than my family too. samantha insists, though, that yalei has my nose. (mine's is soft! she says.)
yalei has gained back a lot of the weight that she lost in the hospital. it is normal that babies who breastfeed can lose up to 10% of their bodyweight by the time they leave. it sometimes takes a few days for the mom's breastmilk to come in. she was born at 8'1 and left at 7'6 but was back up to 7'11 on monday. everybody is healthy, b'h.
