Christy & Steve : Ellie

Ellie turned 8 months on May 11th! How is she 2/3 of a year old???

Weight:

14bs, 8oz ^1lb 7oz from her 7 month weight!

Length:
25.5", ^1" from her 7 month height!

Clothes:
We are transitioning into 6-9/12m clothing! Most of the 3-6 stuff still fits but it's getting snug and it's unseasonably warm out so we can certainly use the summer clothes!

Feedings:
Solids 3x a day, usually breakfast, lunch and dinner. She loves food and is finishing more and more all the time. We are teaching her how to drink water from a straw. She's maintaining her BM consumption as well (explains the huge weight gain??). I'm pumping 5x a day and hope to go down to 4 soon.

Sleep:
She's been a total wild card lately. Bedtime is around 630-7, she will wake up anytime between 4-6 to eat and she will be up anytime between 6 and 9 for the day (usually 6 ;.;) We have been working naps and they are improving. My goal by the end of this month is 2 long naps.

Personality:

Happy, curious. She loves to talk to people and look around but prefers to be close to mom and dad to do it. I think we are working on 2 more top teeth so she isn't totally stoked on that.
