Despite the precarious situation, shes thriving and weighs 9.7 kg and shes .73 m tall. Melissa is a happy baby that enjoys watching the Christmas decorations and lights accompanied by her mother.

All this information and activities surely will have a very positive impact on this family, strengthening their love bond.
