Today was Elsie's 4 month checkup so I thought I'd do a post dedicated to our little chunky monkey...
Weight: 16 lbs. 9 oz. (92nd percentile!)
Length: 26 inches (92nd percentile!)
Head circumference: I don't remember exactly, but it was around the 50th percentile.
I looked back in Maia's baby book to see how they compared and at 4 months old Maia only weighed 14 lbs. 11 oz. and at SIX months she weighed 15 lbs. 13 oz.....still LESS than Elsie at four months!! So funny how different they are...I guess my milk has just gotten better over the past couple of years huh?
Here's a little bit about Elsie:
*She can roll from her front to back (she tries to get back to her belly, but only makes it halfway)
*She loves to be on her belly
*She is full of smiles and giggles
*She is a very happy, content, sweet baby
* She loves to blow bubbles, squeal, and growl
* She is very interested in her toys, especially this little giraffe she has
*She has suffered a few head injuries (among other things) by her sister Maia, but still seems to be quite normal:)
*She scoots to get things while on her belly (already??) Seriously! She pushes up off her toes and moves herself forward to get toys, etc.
*She's full of rolls and we LOVE to kiss her chubby cheeks!
We love you Elsie girl! We can't imagine life without you in our family!

What a cutie Elsie is! Blake was 16 lbs at his 4 month check up 2 wks. ago. I think he's doubled in weight since then! ha ha ha. Both him and Elsie have those cheeks that are to die for!!
So I found this book at Barnes and Nobles on the $5 rack. I thought what the heck! It's called "the super market diet" by Janis Jibrin. It's more of a high fiber portion control thing...not so much a diet. It puts you on 1200 calories for 2 weeks (called boot camp) then bumps you up to 1500. I lost 6 lbs. just on the boot camp. So that's the book and here is a link if that helps any.
