Nov 5th, 2009: Happy half-birthday, Ella!

Ella weighs about 9kg (about 20 pounds). She's growing too fast for me. i already don't remember what it was like when she was tiny, and i know i'll miss her being this big when she's bigger... does that make sense?
we just got a bunch of new clothes for her (safta Dalia waited patiently till we arrive!) and they were all sized >12 months.

fyi, diaper sizes vary between countries. we used to get diapers size 3 at home (for babies 16-28 lbs), and here size 3 are too small (4-9 kg, => 9-20 lbs). of course we only looked at the number when we bought the package of diapers, and were attacked by exploding poops the next few days (every time, she got us every time). the washer had to work double shifts. i'll spare you the gross poop stories, but just say that they were some of the worst explosions we had so far.
we're now armed with a new bag of size-4 diapers.
