BABY GIRL TURNS 6 MONTHS OLD!!!

Ella is a half a year old! It is hard to believe. She has doubled her birth weight coming in at 14 pounds 6 ounces and 24.5 inches long. She is still in the 25th percentile. She is just now wearing 3-6 month clothes. Three month clothes are too small and six months are too big-I know it's weird.

She is quite the character and always offers Mommy and Daddy a big laugh. She seemed to like wearing the sunglasses or perhaps she did not know what the heck was going on!


As sad as this may sound, this incident cracked me up! Ella loves her jumpy seat. Especially the little fly that is hanging over the side. She likes to grab it and chew on it! Sometimes it will fall over the side. If Ella cannot get it, it makes her soooooooo mad. She will start screaming in frustration as you can see in this picture. Luckliy, her motor skills are improving to where she is better at grabbing that yummy fly, but nonethless it makes me laugh and feel bad for her.



Ella is now eating baby food. She seems to enjoy it contrary to this picture. Nice carrot mustache huh? The only one she spit out was the green beans. Maybe she heard she is not supposed to like green vegetables!



Her new talent is leaning forward in her seats. Here she dropped her paci, and she is leaning over to take a look. We have now put the tray back on the swing to keep her contained. She likes it though, because the tray has yummy toys attached!

Ella LOVES her paci. She is rather talented at getting it in her mouth. As you can see here, she is bobbing for it. She makes me smile when she problem solves. Although, sometimes she will get mad when she is less successful!

It is hard to believe how well she is sitting up now. She still occassionally falls to the side or backwards.




Yeah! I still have the magic touch! Ella actually feel asleep like this. It was so cute! (The separation anxiety is beginning.)



She enjoys playing with her toys and Daddy. He makes her smile! (It melts my heart!)



We are in such aw of her and what each new day brings. She amazes us every day!
