[tri-med] Re: growth

I would think that picking a child up continously that weighs over 20 lbs would 
take a toll on that body.  My husband does manual labor and tosses boxes that 
weigh upwards of 75 - 100 lbs during the day, most of the time 12 hours a day.  
I could never do it.  I know how his back is at times and his knees.  I could 
hear his knees pop at times.  Personally I think Annette sounds adorable.  It 
sounds like she is growing and thriving which is great!  Keep up the good work.
