Height: 24ish inches- 25 inches officially at appointment
Diapers: Size 2
Clothes: 0-3 months & 3 months. 3-6 months are way too big.
Sleeping: She take 3 naps a day. Her morning and evening naps are usually around an hour with her afternoon nap being about 3 hours. She goes to bed anywhere between 7 and 8 depending on how tired she is, and she wakes up closer to 8. She is usually up at least once a night, but she has slept through the night quite a few times. We typically have a pretty good battle at getting her to sleep, and she will wake up a few times before she is asleep for the night. She still sleeps in her rock n play.. Any advice on getting her out of it would be great. We have a blanket under her mattress, so that it props her up, but she still won't sleep in the crib. She does spit up worse on the rare occurrences that we get her to sleep in her crib, so I don't know if it's still her acid reflux that makes it hard for her to sleep in the crib or what.
Eating: 4 ounces every 3 hours.
Milestones: She got her ears pierced! It's quite possibly the most adorable thing ever to see her in earrings. She has started to giggle. We are still waiting on the full on laughing, but I will take her little giggles any time. We're still waiting for her to roll over either way. She doesn't really seem to have a desire to move at all. Hudson was rolling over both ways by now, so it goes to show how every child is different. She has also started to interact with toys quite a bit-mostly the play mat. A different kind of milestone is that she no longer screams when you take her out of the bath tub. She was even giggling the other day as I got her out of the tub and wrapped in a towel. For some reason this to me means that she really isn't a newborn anymore.
Likes: Grabbing on to things/having something in her hands//sucking on her hands//play mat//being rocked to sleep
Dislikes: being over tired//formula that isn't the perfect temperature. She is super picky about her formula being warm.
Personality: She loves to have people make eye contact with her, and then she gives you big smiles. She spends a lot of time watching Hudson and just taking in the things he does.
Pierced ears!
I asked Ella's Aunt Kristyn to make some headbands for Ella, and they turned out so cute!
We had to have a little photoshoot with Ella one morning, so that we could send Kristyn pictures of her in them. Ella was in the best mood this morning and was totally hamming it up for the camera.
Kristyn has something in the works for her crafts, and you can find her blog here.
Hudson climbed up once again this month, but he didn't want his picture with her.
He did however want to pose by himself cookie covered face and all.
I had to post outtakes because they are too funny not to share.
This girl is not lacking personality that's for sure.
I couldn't get her to smile for this month's picture because every time she would smile she'd get so happy that she would move her whole body leading to blurry pictures.
It's no secret that the newborn stage is not my favorite, but I can't believe that it's already over. Our little girl is a third of the way to being a year old, and that just doesn't seem possible. Ella gives us a run for our money, but I can't imagine our house without her lively spirit filling it up.
