Elaina is 4 months old


Elaina turned 4 months old on Tuesday (11/6) - we can't believe it! Her daddy took her for her 4 month check up on Friday (11/9) and is healthy and happy. She weighed 12 lbs, 10 oz and measured 24 inches long. She really grew in her height this month (1 1/2 inches). She is still pretty little in comparison as she is in the 28th percentile on her weight and the 39th percentile in height. However, her head circumference is in the 92nd percentile - girls go a big noggin!!! :) She got her second round of shots at this appointment and Daddy said he did not want to do that again - he's such a softy :)

She's still a great baby. Daddy gave her her first bottle of formula on Saturday and she took it like a champ while Mommy cried like a baby just to see it. She's just getting so big. We gave her formula to help supplement for breastmilk and prepare her for cereal in a few weeks...

Here a couple of recent pics... Enjoy!
