Here is what our Elsie bug is up to these days:
- Smiling, cooing and laughing.
- Drooling a lot and mouthing everything she can manage to get to her mouth
- Sleep: Still somewhat inconsistent but most nights she is down at 5:30pm, up once to eat and up for the day around 7am. Most often she is taking two, two hour naps.
- Trying to roll back to tummy but not quite making it. (She has not rolled tummy to back in quite some time).
- Getting her knees under her when on belly.
- Grabbing onto things.
- We stopped giving her a binky about a month ago. She sucks her thumb at sleepy time.
My shirt?
Elsie weighed almost 17lbs and measured a huge 27.25 inches long (97th and 100th percentiles respectively). She is following a nice growth curve and her physical exam checked out fine. Her only current issue is constipation, poor girl! Her Pediatrician and I discussed ways to resolve the issue such as switching formula brands, trying soy based formula, adding fruit solids to her diet or even juice. I just cringed at the juice suggestion and the dr told me that the only time she ever recommends it is for constipation. She told me to think of it as medication. That does help but still, I will be saving that as a last resort. I am a firm believer in eating your fruit and not drinking it!!
A few of Elsie's favorite things: She LOVES bath time. We made bath, bottle, bed her night-time routine back in her colicky days. She has a great time kicking her legs and 'talking' to us. She loves being read too and taking walks in the stroller. Blowing on her tummy or neck usually gets a laugh out of her. She is very observant and is already watching when I sign with her.
One last sweet picture of our baby!
