Ella had her four month appointment this past week. She was 13 1/2 pounds (50th percentile) and 25 1/2 inches (90th percentile). We were told she was "very verbal" and all of her developmental milestones look great - with the exception of her "weak arms" - a product of babies sleeping on their backs and too little tummy time. So, we were instructed to make sure she is on her tummy 30 minutes a day. If you saw how much Ella screams when on her stomach, you would know that this it would probably be easier for us to teach Ella to do a cartwheel than to have her spend 30 minutes on her stomach.
And turning four months means that Ella gets to start on rice cereal! We were quite impressed with how receptive she was. However, apparently she was quite impressed with the novelty of the experience, as her subsequent feedings have not been as successful and basically result in tears and projectile rice cereal.
And for those that need more than still pictures, another episode of Ellavision:
