Six Months Old...




So I realize I'm a few days late but Ella is 6 months old. It's hard to believe, apparently time does fly when you're having fun! She is growing and changing like crazy. She's definitely showing her personality and getting into the "fun" stage! Monday I took her in for her six month appointment, she is 17 pounds 12 ounces (80th percentile) and was 27 1/2 inches long (90th percentile) so she is definitely a healthy little girl! Once again she had to get shots and didn't really enjoy those. She screamed for a good 10 minutes afterward. Like mom said I think she is going to hold grudges! (A true girl what can I say!) A big thank you to my mom for being there for moral support. Ella is now sitting completely on her own, of course I still lay pillows around just in case she decides to flop over! Occasionally she likes to leap forward and end up on her belly in order to grab her toys! She is also rolling but now that she sits up she would rather be in that position then laying on the floor! She jabbers and giggles like crazy. As far as sleeping through the night... I was spoiled at the beginning but no longer, she likes to get up at least once at night! Occasionally she'll sleep through the night but those nights are few and far between! We've been staying busy and looking forward to the holiday season. It's hard to believe that a month from now I will no longer be a stay at home mom... I will be going back to work just after the new year. (I do realize I was spoiled by staying home for 7 months and many moms are not that fortunate but I've really enjoyed it and would love to continue staying home) So for now I'm going to take advantage of my time at home with Ella and try not to think about it! That's the latest and greatest with us. I've attached a couple of pictures of Ella relaxing at home!
