We are little behind but I wanted to give a 4 month update on Ella! I had to post the picture above because it so sums up Miss Ella right now! She is such a ham, smiles and giggles constantly, and is seriously one of the sweetest babies! She is also such a chunk, check out those cheeks! She is definitely a growing girl! We had her 4 month appointment last week and here are her stats:
Weight: 14 lbs 14.5 oz (75th percentile)
Height: 25.5 inches (95th percentile)
Clothing Size: Currently in 6 months but now moving into 9 months
She is very healthy overall although she was battling her first real cold at the time. She is hitting all the milestones and we could not be happier with how she is growing, such a healthy girl!
One of the best things we learned this week when we came back for her shots was that she is ear infection free! You might remember that Miss Grace had a ton of ear infections when she was little, every time she had a cold we could count on an ear infection to follow it. It was so sad to see her in so much pain. So when Ella got an ear infection at the young age of 3 weeks old, all I could do was worry that we were headed down the same path. So imagine my surprise when we had Ella's ears checked after a week of really bad congestion and they were infection free and did not even have fluid backed up in them! The doctor indicated this is a great sign that her ears are draining correctly and that ear infections should not be a common occurrence. Such good news!
She has rolled over, loves to hold toys and play with rings, is very close to rolling from back to stomach, and hates tummy time with a passion! She loves her sister and just giggle when Grace plays with her. They love to play peek a boo with a blanket and play in Ella's crib together.
Life with Ella is amazing, I love having two little girls and can not wait as each month brings more and more fun!
