Ellie’s Check Up

Ellie went to the doctor last week for her 4 month check up. She is looking good! She’s up to 12 lbs 11 oz, which is about the 30th percentile. So, she’s still small, but definitely catching up. Previously, she was in the 10th percentile, so the doctor asked if we were doing anything differently. We’re not!

He still hears a murmur, but he said it was faint. Maybe she’s still growing out of her ASD. We head back to the cardiologist in a few more months.

She got 5 vaccinations. Those are never fun, so she was a little grouchy. But she was soon back to her normal happy self.

Lately, she has started laughing and grabbing for toys.  She can pretty much hold her head up now, but she’s still a little wobbly. She loves watching and listening to her big sister. She is such a happy baby. She’s talkative, playful and content just doing whatever.

She is really loving her fingers and thumbs right now, so I needed to capture it.

Ellie as an 8 week old

Ellie loves to be held and can snuggle with the best! She prefers to be warm, or even hot to sleep. She is the happiest spitter-upper I know! 🙂 She has lost most of the hair on the top of her head. She is becoming more aware of her surroundings, and not sleeping as much. She is smiling a little and even cooing a bit. And I can’t believe she’s already 8 weeks old!
