Four Months Old

Ellis is now a whopping four months old.  Here are the latest stats:

Weight - 12 lbs 5 oz (27% of growth percentile)
Height - 23.5" (29% of growth percentile)
Head - 41 cm (58% of growth percentile)

Our little bobble head has dropped a bit on the growth charts from her two month appointment, so now our lives revolve even more around her feeding schedule.  The doctor calls her a "petite eater."  Otherwise, she is a very active healthy little baby!




 

Ellis at four months...

  • She has discovered her feet and is always grabbing them.  Who needs toys when your feet are so interesting?
  • She is rolling over from her back to her belly, but hasn't figure out from belly to back yet.
  • She sleeps through the night, usually waking once in the early morning hours to eat.
  • She sings to herself when we are driving in the car.  
  • She loves her play mat, especially a stacking ball that she kicks with her feet.
  • When laying on her back, she likes to kick her feet high in the air and slam them down on the mattress or floor.  One day she is going to pop right up like a breakdancer.
  • She has the loudest yawn I have ever heard.
  • When she is on her belly, she moves her knees as if she is ready to go somewhere.  Watch out world, this girl is going to be crawling before we know it.

Roly Poly

Ellis has figured out how to roll over from her back to her belly over the last couple of weeks.  Now, you put her down on her back to play, and she is on her belly within seconds.  She still hasn't mastered rolling over in the other direction, so once she is on her belly she is like a roly poly that has been turned upside down or a turtle on its back...she needs a little help to get back!

Here is a video from a couple of weeks ago just after she learned how to flip.  My favorite part is the noise she makes when rolling over.  It is kind of like those guys at the gym who grunt when lifting weights.
