one month update

Ella had her 1-month check-up today.  She weighs 8lbs 11oz already!  Here I thought she was still 7 lbs.  Yikes!  She is 21 inches now and in the 30th percentile for weight and 40th for height.  Her head is in the 35th percentile.  The doctor was pleased with her growth and health.  She just has a yeast infection (thrush) that we are going to treat with Nystatin.  It is pretty common in breastfed babies.  I had just noticed that her tongue was white yesterday so i'm glad we went to the doctor today.  Ella does not like the doctor.  She always ends up screaming by the time we leave... poor girl.  That's all for now :)
