Probably.  And that is pretty tiny for a newborn, given that 454 grams 
weigh� 1 pound (US).

�NOT "454 grams = 1 pound".  A gram is a unit of _mass_.  A pound is a unit 
of _weight_ or _force_.  Two different things:  f=ma or w=mg.

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
 From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.

-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
