Niranjana, Melissa and Andy Perdue

For the record, after being home for 10 months, Niranjana now officially is:

35.5 pounds — that's 5.5 pounds heavier (in her socks).

40 inches — that's 3.5 inches taller, although it feels like 4 inches! Niranjana says she's going to grow bigger and bigger, up to the sky.

I cleared out most of her 3T clothes the other day. Some 3T stuff still fits — and she's still discovering some of it, like a sparkly butterfly shirt — but we've been buying 4T for a while now.

And her feet now up to size 10.5. She should be able to fit into the black shoes that Vanaga gave her in Chennai for her going-away outfit ... maybe I should pull those out of the memory box.
