Ella's 6 month stats

Ella had her 6 month Doctor appointment on her daddy's birthday August 17. Ella weighed 18lbs 7ozs and is 26.7" long! She's in the 95th percentile for both height and weight.

She has been trying to crawl all month! We even had to lower her crib because she pulls herself up to everything. She can't quite pull herself up completely on her own, but will stand up to something if you place her. All she wants to do is explore. We've also starting baby proofing the house, even bought a baby gate for the top of the steps. She loves to just sit on the floor and play in the mornings and watch me get ready. She is such a good girl!

Our baby is 6 months old


Hard to believe that Ella is 6 months already. Where did the time go? She's getting so fun, she's really talking and squeeling. She's just about ready to crawl and stands up to things. She's really reaching for everything and very curious of her surroundings. She loves her puppy dog, she really pays attention to him and laughs at him. He's so good w/ her too.

We haven't gotten any teeth yet, I thought she was last week b/c she had a really runny nose and was sneezing a lot, but I was too. I think we just had a couple of summer colds. She hasn't been sick yet at all - we're very fortunate to have such a happy, healthy little girl. We can't imagine our lives w/out her - she's the apple of our eyes!

Ella loves to eat!!! She's eating all kinds of veggies, and some fruit. She likes pretty much every veggie, but some of the fruits are too sweet for her. I've been mixing the fruit w/ her cereal in the mornings and she seems to like that. I also started giving her a sippy cup, she's learning how to hold it and doing really good with it. She doesn't really drink out of it yet though.

Ella's 1st Farmer's Market


Here's a picture of Ella and her daddy @ the Farmer's Market! She loved it, she looked around at everyone - she's so curious! She loved the flowers that I bought, she grabbs for everything and has a cow when you don't give whatever you have to her! It's starting already...
