On another note, Ellie seems to be thinning out at a pretty quick pace, so we've increased her intake. It's tricky, trying to balance what she gets, with what she burns, making sure she gains enough, without it being too much, or too little, and still making sure she grows in height, and keeps developing. So far, we've managed to get her weight-for-length ratio in check (YAY!) and now she hovers around the 40th percentile for that.
She's eating most of what we eat these days, thrown through the blender to a consistency she will take. Every day we make it a little thicker, with a bit more texture, so far so good!
She gained half an ounce in two weeks, but only grew half a centimeter, which is less than she's ever grown while on GH therapy. I don't know what to make of it, she's never hit "catch up" rate of growth, so I emailed the endocrine office, and am waiting to hear back to see if we can adjust Ellie's dosage before the end of summer. She is 13lbs4oz, and 24.21" (61.5cm)
Ellie can now hold herself in a 4-point (pre-crawling) position, which is amazing! Her pull-up skills are out of this world, and yesterday she tried side-stepping. She picks up on everything so very quickly, I am so proud of her!
