- LOVE your blankie and don't like sleep without it
- Started eating rice cereal and sweet potatoes and generally like them - but more that you want to put stuff in your mouth
- Have developed the "want" for items you can't have (like cousin Whit's necklace)
- Sleep most nights all the way through the night
- Are soooo happy all the time!
We went to the doctor today for her 6 month checkup (on a side note - I am really going to miss him when we move to Spokane). She is just as tiny as ever! Her stats are:
- Weight: 12 lbs. 3 oz (2%)
- Height: 25.25" (33%)
- Head Circumfrence: 40.5 cm (6%)
This means that Ellie's weight is still trending down for her age. She started off in the 5% at birth and 1st month, but by her 4th month she was in the 3% and now just the 2%. Her height is back up... at birth this was in the 57% and went down in the 4th month, but can't remember where to. And her HC was measuring right at 17% this whole time, but I guess she is leveling out a bit and is more proportionate. The doctor also confirmed that Ellie is teething. Her lower two incisors are inflamed, but haven't broken through yet.
I know what you mean about pediatricians. I may keep mine in Spokane even though we're in Moses Lake now. I go the the office connected to Holy Family. I don't remember the name of the girl I like, but she's a PA. She's very positive and is extremely engaging with Christian. You can tell she truly loves what she does. I completely recommend her and the office. All of the pediatricians there are pretty awesome. I also recommend Dr. Hardy at North Spokane woman's health for you. Seriously, he is the best.
ReplyDeleteMelissa that is a huge help! I am looking for referrals just about anything I can get. Particularly Ellie!
