Ellie - 4 Months
Miss Ellie turned 4 months on January 11th!
Weight:
9lbs, 15oz ^15oz from her 3 month weight! She is still in the 0.1st percentile for weight but her growth has been following the expected trend so we're not too worried about it!
Length:
22.75", ^0.5" from her 3 month height! Her height has jumped from the 0.1st percentile to the 3rd!

Clothes:
Still in 0-3 clothing, depending on the brand some is a little tight, some fit well and some are huge lol. I think we will be in them for a bit longer. Same settings on her cloth diapers.

Feedings:
Every three hours during the day for the most part. Most of her bottles are 80mls but she will take an extra 20mls 2-3 times a day. We start with 80 and warm up more if needed cos it's different every day and depends on nursing. She wakes up once at night to eat so a typical day is about 6 bottles. We are still working with an LC and working on getting BFing. She's doing better but we're still having a lot of trouble with her tongue and depending on the day it's pretty painful. She's not able to get full feeds at this time and we bottle her after. She seems to like nursing, or the idea of it anyway, and she will often comfort nurse. I'm pumping every time she eats and it seems to be working well.

Sleep:
She continues to mostly cat nap during the day but she will take one long nap in her swing in the afternoon or early evening. We put her to bed around 8pm and she usually sleeps until 8am with one feed around 5am.

Personality:
Very happy, generally pretty laid back. She likes to talk to any toy or thing with a face. Her glow worm is her favourite. She likes to interact with people and will fuss if she can't see everyone at the table or in the room. She will squawk if she doesn't get eye contact when you talk to her.
She rolled over for the first time during week 16 (F-B & L-R) and is currently determined to figure out how to roll in the other direction (R-L). She gets frustrated when she can't figure it out but I don't think it will be too long.
Loves:
- Her glow worm and her stuffed Grinch
- Cuddles
- Attention
- Bubble baths
- Oball rattle
- Her feet
Hates:
- Losing her paci
- Any swaddle but the SwaddleUp
- Being cold
- Being tired
- Being hungry
- When you don't make eye contact while talking to her
Happy 4 months Ellie! She is too cute :)
