Julie's off the scales for weight! On a diet of pure breast milk, she's gone from average to morbidly obese in just over two months. I don't know how she can keep this up. The nurse today would have suggested a change in feeding if Julie wasn't on breast milk but, since she's on it 100%, she can get as fat as she likes. We're noticing that her clothes are quickly getting smaller and have trouble going around her belly. She also has her dad's big, fat legs. If any of that baby fat turns to muscle, we'll have a great speed skating sprinter or track cyclist on our hands. But, for now, she only needs to keep practising sitting up and smiling. She's starting to get the hang of sitting and the smiling and laughing are going great. Sitting up might become tough because her head circumference has also gone from average to 95th percentile. Now we know where all the weight is!
I've also lodged my complaint with Canada's New Government about child benefits. Ying was turned down on a second benefit; again due to residency. I thought about reapplying on-line but it simply asks if you're a citizen, which she isn't, and then lists her citizenship as "not on file." I hope my complaint gets things done because all the literature clearly states that you only need to be a resident of Canada to collect benefits. One of Ying's friends is getting money and she's here on a student visa. She might have already gone back to China and, if so, I hope she's not still collecting.
