What's new with Ella?

As of Monday, our little miss Ella is now finally sleeping through the night. And every night she is sleeping for longer periods of time. As a matter of fact, she slept 10 hours straight last night - we thought for sure she would wake up a few times but to our surprise, she didn't. I was watching her on the monitor last night as she lay in her big girl bed and she actually put herself to sleep by sucking on her thumb. It was the sweetest thing!

Ella had her 4 month doctors appointment on Thursday and her doctor, Dr. Clark, could barely recognize her. From her last appointment at 2 months, she has gained over 5 pounds. Here are her stats for her checkup:

Height: 24.5 inches long (57th percentile)
Weight: 13 lbs. 14 oz. (54th percentile)

Mommy has tried on a few occasions giving Ella rice cereal and oatmeal. She does not seem to care for it at all and makes a sour pus face when being fed. We'll keep trying. I'm sure over time she will get used to it.

  1. Oh my goodness...I can't believe how much Ella and Marley are alike. At Marley's 4 month check up she was 13 lbs 2oz and 24.5 inches long...so they were almost exactly the same~ nobody would ever know they our little girls were so early!Keep up the good work Ella!
