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. :-)
