6 Months and Growing TOO Fast

Ella turned 6 months old a couple weekends ago (July 31st). It's sad that I'm this far behind on blogging, but now that she's doing so much more, it's hard to find time to sit down and blog :) So, now she's 6 and a half months old and changing so much each day. Here's what's been going on in the life of little miss Ella...

6 Month Check-up Stats:
Weight: 14 pounds 2.5 ounces-25th percentile (she finally bumped up out of the 10%)
Height: 24.5 inches-25 percentile
Head Circumference: 40.7-10 percentile


6 Months Old
She's so much bigger than her bunny now!

Things Ella is doing at 6 Months:

~Sitting up all on her own (only falls when she gets super distracted)

~Sticks her tongue out when she smiles of laughs

~Brings her hands together

~Holds her arms out for the person she wants

~Belly laughs (mostly in the evenings)

~Started eating solids: she's loving every second of it! We've tried rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, squash, and started carrots yesterday :)

~Testing out drinking water from a sippy cup...she chokes from time to time but loves it! She also enjoys trying to drink from my cup and makes a funny sound and face as the water gets close to her lips

~Pushing up all the way on her arms when she's on her tummy

~Chews and sucks on EVERYthing!!!

~Loves to read...smiles every time we bring a book out to read together

~Sleeps 12 hours at night (goes to bed around 6:30 and sleeps until 6:00 or 6:30 the next morning) and naps 3-4.5 hours per day....she loves her sleep!!! and so do I :)

Her new favorite way to smile :)
I cried when we put her in the booster seat high chair thing because she looks like such a big girl...where has my tiny baby gone???
She loves her paci but usually uses it as more of a chew toy instead of sucking on it, but she scratched her face with a book and needed a soothing device :)
Watching us cook dinner from her bumbo perched on the bar
Sitting up on her own (a little scary since the chair was rocking)
I just LOVE this little face!!!!


Since I'm so far behind on blogging, I thought I'd post a couple pictures of Ella at 5 months too :)
