Elli's update

It's been a little while since I updated Elli's progress, so here's the scoop:
1. Weight: Elli now weighs roughly 13 lbs. 10 oz. (it's been a about a week since she was weighed).
2. Height: she is 28" long.
3. Hair: She has med. to light brown hair, and it is mostly on top of her head. It is the cutest little poof of hair that stands straight up if I don't put anything in it to help control it.
4. Mobility: She is rolling very proficiently now. She goes in the 4 wheel drive and rolls right over anything that gets in the way.
5. Sitting: She will sit at a toy for several minutes, and if she doesn't realize that she is sitting, she'll last even longer. She gets a little freaked out when she comes to the realization that she is sitting, and then she will quickly lay back down where she is comfortable.
6. Tummy Time: She is beginning to tolerate her tummy more too. She used to throw a fit almost immediately when she was placed on her tummy, now when she rolls around the room she will often stop on her tummy to play with something in front of her. Today during physical therapy she played on her tummy for almost 20 minutes. That was an amazing first for her!!
7. Communication: She is jabbering like crazy! She even has her own word for baby. She has also learned to wave hello and goodbye. I haven't had her vocal chord checked, but I'm pretty sure that it has healed because she has gotten really loud. It used to be hard to hear her, not so much anymore though.
8. Eating: We have put her on a medication that stimulates her appetite. It hasn't increased the amount she eats very much, but it has helped her tolerate pieces of food. She used to gag on everything we tried, even those little Gerber stars that dissolve almost instantly. The day we started this medication I gave her a cracker and she ate the whole thing without any problems. We have tried many other foods since then and she is doing really well. Now we just have to work on getting her to eat a little bit more so that she can grow.
9. Personality: She gets so excited about everything and claps with glee at the drop of a hat. She is especially fond of the Christmas tree, the fireplace, and music. She loves to tease Bradley by rolling right over anything he is doing on the floor. She will stop right next to him and start poking at him or kicking him. She loves to play with him, and he loves to play with her.
10. Follow up clinic: We went to follow up clinic last week and she had her eyes and ears examined. The results for both were completely normal, which proves once again that she is a miracle!
