Eleanor At Four Months


Our sweet Eleanor Jane is 4 months! There are many things I want to remember about our gal at this age:

-She weighs 13 pounds and is in the 25th percentile for weight. She is much smaller than the boys were. The boys were always in the 75th percentile for weight.
-She is 27/28 inches long and in the 75th percentile for height.
-She is in the 75th percentile for head circumference.
-Eleanor is developing wonderfully. She is a little behind on gross motor skills. We need to work more on some tummy time for head control. She is rolling over now. We also just brought out the exersaucer which she loves.
-Eleanor sleeps about 11-12 hours a night. She takes one2 hour nap in the morning and one two hour nap in the afternoon. She wins the award for the best sleeper!
-Eleanor eats every 3 hours still and we have not started solids yet.
-What I want to remember most is how sweet Eleanor is. She is always smiling. She is the most content and happy baby I have ever met. In fact, the only time she fusses is when she is ready to eat or is ready to nap. The pediatrician said perhaps because she is so well rested! We love our sweet girl.
