Ella had her 4 month well visit today. She did great considering the dr. was running WAY late & then it took forever for the dreaded shot lady to arrive. So, this time I knew what to expect for the shots, and it was pretty much the same purple faced screaming baby. She settled down pretty quickly afterwards & was asleep once we got in the car.
Despite the acid reflux she is growing well. She weighs 14 lb. 4 oz, which is 75th percentile & is 26 1/2 inches long, topping the charts in the 97th percentile. Head measures 16 1/4 inches, 50th percentile. She's going to stay on the new meds for acid reflux until her 6 month visit, and then maybe we'll be able to wean her off. The only other news from the visit is that Ella's neck muscles aren't as developed as the dr. would like. We've got to amp up the tummy time & hopefully they will strengthen on their own, but if we don't notice improvement in the next few weeks, he thinks we should have her see a physical therapist to help us get her muscles strong enough so she can consistently hold her head up.
She isn't sleeping through the night yet - hopefully SOON! She's done a full night of sleep here and there, but generally she's up at least once for a bottle.
OMG! I forgot to mention - Ella rolled over last night for the first time! Yeah! She rolled from her stomach to back. She hasn't been able to roll from her back to her stomach yet, but maybe soon...
Happy Friday!
