2 going on 3 months

I can't believe my little Ellie is going to be 3 months next week.  Some days I look at her and wonder how on earth time could pass so quickly and also at the same time just be amazed that its only been 3 months and all we have gone through in just that short amount of time. She was late for her 2 month appointment so I guess this could be her stats for being almost 3 months old. 
We went to the doctor's yesterday and these are her measurements.....
Weight : 12 lbs. 1 oz. {74%}
Length: 23 3/4" {89%}
Head: 39 cm {49%}

She still has thrush.  After being on the nasty medications that did nothing for the two weeks we had to shove it down her throat, the end reuslt, noting.  So we are trying new things.  Any suggestions?  She is perfectly healthy and mostly happy.  She still is quite the fussy little one but she is getting better.  She is sleeping really well at night, the days are what we need to work on.

Here are a few things we have learned about Ellie in the past 3 months that she has been alive...

  • she loves to be held.  That is an understatement.  She lives to be held.
  • She loves to eat and eat she does without fail every 3 hours.
  • She has to  use a noise maker everytime she sleeps. It is a must in the Snyder home with 3 very loud, busy boys running around.
  • She still sleeps in our bedroom.  I can't stand the thought of putting her by herself in her own room yet. But I know it is time and so we are working on it.
  • She loves to be in the center of attention.
  • She loves, loves it when her brothers sit down and talk to her.
  • She has the cutest chubbiest cheeks ever!
  • She has a mow hawk. Keaton thinks she looks like a punk rocker. But what else can you do with it? If I comb and part it, she looks like a boy, so up it goes. I think it is rather cute.
  • She is a great sleeper at night. She goes to bed without fail around 8:30 p.m. along with her other brothers.
  • She slobbers ALOT!
  • Her smiles are worth a million dollars.
  • She is trying to talk, which is so darn adorable.
  • She is content to sit in her bouncer for a few minutes.
  • She still has to be swaddled.
  • She refuses to use a binki. A first in our home.
  • She is so stinkin fun and cute!
  • We love her!!!!
