Our sweet Elle turned 4 months and no longer fits on her milestone blanket that was supposed to last until she’s one. Oh well.
Amelia, Samantha, Meredith and Eleanor at 4 months:
Eleanor weighed in at 19 pounds at 4 months!! Yep, that’s in the 100th percentile. She’s definitely the chubbiest out of all the babies, with Meredith a distant second place at 17 pounds when she was 4 months. Elle also grew a ton in length, measuring 26.5 inches!
I have so many pictures of Elle smiling because she is just a delight. Meredith was also a pretty mellow, giggly baby, but Eleanor tops them all. The twins definitely still win for crankiest babies who either stared blankly at the camera or were screaming.
Eleanor takes 4 naps a day and sleeps 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. at night– A+!
As you can see, she loves to EAT, EAT, EAT and can even hold her own bottle. She wears 9-12 month clothing and I’m going through diapers so fast, I have no idea what size she is. Her legs are sooo chubby that she barely even felt her 4 month shots at the doctor and only gave one little squeak when poked. Thunder thighs for sure.
She rolled over from her stomach to her back once, but HATED it and never did it again. She has yet to roll over from back to stomach, but I mean, who can blame her? She’s such a roly poly I doubt she can physically do it on her own. She does love tummy time, though, and is really content on her back, whether sleeping or playing. All the others were tummy sleepers, but she is decidedly a back sleeper.
Eleanor loves to grab hair (especially mine or anyone within grabbing distance) and loves to swat and grab her toys. She has great hand eye coordination and loves to put toys in her mouth. She doesn’t take a pacifier or suck her thumb.
This girl has a zest for life! Her favorite things to do include going for walks, being carried in the Ergo, pick-up time at school where the paparazzi flocks to smile at her and pinch her ankles, peekaboo, and watching sisters run/jump/dance/throw balls. She is giggly, talkative, and all-around the pudgiest, sweetest, most delightful baby you ever did see. The twins tell me they would never trade her for a different baby– she’s THAT good.
Happy 4 Month Birthday, Elle!
Lots of love,
