It can be a matter of concern and thank you for the detailed observation. On image is it not clear. Her weight gain is good. And other activities which you described are normal but it is better to do the physical examination before saying where she is floppy or not
Next Steps
Consultation ( better office consultation)
Health Tips
Observe her feeding pattern whether frequent vomit is there or not. Involve her in more movements
