Ella measured underweight according to her growth chart for her fourth month check up. 

So we had to schedule a two week check-up to see if she had gained more since her four month.


Ella gained six ounces. Which is good but not what they would want for her to continue on her growth line. Her doctors are beginning to believe that she was born heavier than what she should have been and now she is headed towards a more average growth curve.

Overall, the doctor was very impressed with Ella's strength, ability to play on her tummy (tummy-time), and her overall demeanor gives her doctor the reason to believe that Ella is perfectly healthy and on a normal track for her age.

I have personally discovered that since I have created a yes space (http://www.janetlansbury.com/2014/08/play-space-inspiration/) has helped Ella Rose excel greatly when it comes to improving overall strength and ability to roll around. She loves playing on my yoga mat and now rolls freely. 

Ella is now on solids and eats only organic purees homemade and pouched.

She loves butternut squash. 

What does your baby like?
