5 Weeks Old


Ella is 5 weeks old today! We had her 1-month pediatrician appointment this past Monday. She weighed in at a hefty 10 lb 10 oz (95th percentile for weight) and 22-1/2 inches (90th percentile for height). This week her peaches and cream complexion broke out with milia so she looks like an adolescent going through puberty. Our pediatrician said this is common and they should clear up in a few weeks. Other than that she is doing wonderful! This week we started introducing the bottle with expressed breastmilk. Daddy successfully gave Ella her first 1 oz tonight. We have a ways to go, but will keep practicing.
