Six + Months!

Well ... six months has almost come and gone! Sorry for not updating sooner. Make sure you scroll down as I added a few other posts/pics as well.

Ella had her six month check up (about 3.5 weeks ago :-)). The doctor said she looked great. She weighed 17lbs 15oz (90-95%) and was 27.5inches long (97%). She is still well above average for her height and weight. However, she is very well proportioned. She tolerated her shots well. We went to the beach house that night. She def was a little more fussy ... but hey I would be as well so I cant blame her. She also got her first cold ... it was actually good timing as we had the doctors appt anyway. She weathered it well. Actually funny story - I took her in to have her ears checked about a week after she first got the cold ... her ears looked fine - mine were infected. Her doctor was kind enough to look at mine too!

It is amazing how fast she is growing up. She will be seven months old in a week. Her latest accomplishment is finally rolling over. She is very proud of herself when she does it as well. She looks around for someone to clap and make a big deal about it ... very cute. She also loves to walk everywhere she goes. I predict she might skip crawling and go straight to walking. She will stand up (assisted of course) and play with all her toys. She continues to eat very well. We introduce new things all the time so far I think she has had the following: peas, green beans, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, peaches, bananas, pears, applesauce, oranges ... and avocado! However, she was not a fan of the avocado ... it went in her mouth ... she looked at my like what in the heck is this ... she gaged once then gagged again ... this time it was accompanied with the pears and cereal she had eaten 5 minutes earlier! We may wait awhile to try that again. :-)

Best Friends

Debbie and I try to get the girls together as much as possible. Ella and Alyse are beginning to interact with one another more and more. Is it really cute watching them. I think there are times Alyse wishes Ella would just leave her alone... :-) Ella def wants to 'attack' her! Here are a couple pics of them over the past month.

Her Boys!

I wish words and pictures could show the love Ella has for Dylan and Darin! It is truly amazing how much her world lights up when they are around! She absolutely loves her two boys.

Beach!

Grandma, Grandpa, Bapa, Edie, Michelle, Ella and I went to the Beach House in February. Ella absolutely loved being outside. The weather was gorgeous on Saturday so we were able to spend a lot of time on the beach. She did really well on the trip considering she had a cold and just got her shots. Here are a couple pictures of her on the beach and with Bapa and Edie.

First Valentines!

Wow ... sorry it has been so long since I have updated. Something called 'busy season' and being a mom have kept me quit busy these past two months. Well ... lets back track and see what everyone has missed in miss Ella's world.

He first Valentines day was pretty cute. Her Grandpa brought her a balloon which she thought was pretty impressive. We got a lot of mileage out of it throughout the week. It even entertained her while I showered in the morning ... which there are not many things that will keep her occupied long enough for me to shower!

We went to aunt 'Jennies' to decorate some cookies for Daddy and Grandpa. I think she had fun! She had pink frosting all over her. I gave her a taste. She was pretty impressed.
