[Our] baby continues to grow and develop. He is now
about the size of an ear of corn: measuring around 12 inches long and
weighing around 1.5 pounds! In the coming weeks, our baby will
continue to grow and mature at a fast rate, gaining about 6 ounces of
weight a week. His brain is growing rapidly, and his taste buds are
developing.
He is pretty lean at 24 weeks, but he'll soon be putting on some "baby fat" to fill out his frame and his wrinkled skin, which is due to the lack of subcutaneous fat. He has begun to develop white blood cells. These cells are responsible for fighting off disease and infection. His lungs develop branches this week, and his inner ear is completely developed. In fact, he has basic control over all of his senses: hearing, touch, taste, smell, and vision!
