Eliza month 4 (March 6- April 5)

The 4 month sleep regression is a real thing, and it definitely effected Eliza. She would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night, and not want to go back to sleep. She also had a little bit of a harder time staying asleep.

We celebrated Eliza's first Easter, and she got her first dolly and swimming suit from the Easter bunny. As well as a Wheels on the Bus book from Grandma Stewart.

At Eliza's 4 month well-check visit she saw her new pediatrician for the first time. We automatically clicked, and wished we would've had him from the beginning. He informed us that her growth chart looked great previously, and there wasn't anything to worry about, she is just a small girl. However, her weight that day, 9lbs 5 oz (only 6 ounces up from the previous month), was more sideways on the chart than it should be. I had been wondering if she was getting enough milk, and had debated several different times within the last few weeks if we should switch to formula. He left the decision up to us, but gave us some great advice. We decided to switch to formula effective immediately. The first few bottles, it was as if she had been starving for a little bit. She had been getting some, just not quite enough.
Also at her well-check she received another set of shots, which she took like a champ of course. I'm thinking that she might have a high pain tolerance, because she doesn't seem bothered, except for the fact that she is getting held down, and that she has to lay down.

Eliza month 3 (Feb 6-March 5)

Eliza was blessed on February 7th. She started sleeping in her crib in her room Feb 8th, and did great from the beginning. She quickly started to hate the swaddle the middle of Feb, once she learned that she had so much room to move around. She started sleeping in the zippadee zip Feb 17th, and it was wonderful. She started learning how to grab things this month, although still wasn't very good at it. She started realizing who mom and dad are, and when we would come and go. She learned that after her first feeding every morning, was usually about the same time dad would get home from work, and she would watch the door waiting for him to come through it. She is a champion sleeper this month.
