Ella at 6 months




My cute little peanut is 1/2 a year!  This little girl continues to amaze me everyday.  She may be small, but she is a fighter! She began trying to crawl at around 5 months, and by 5 1/2 months she was moving.  It's so funny to see her move because she is an early crawler and she is so small for her age. At six months Ella weighs 13 lbs (3rd percentile) and is 26 inches (40th percentile) and her head is 16 3/4 inches (54th percentile). I actually really love how small she is.  She is easy to carry around and it makes it seem like she is staying a baby!  We are having so much fun with her, especially me since she will not go to anyone else.  She is starting to have major stranger anxiety and will scream if anyone else takes her.  Luckily she loves Dave too!  At six months she has started sleeping through the night sometimes, not yet consistently, but it's a start. She sometimes sleeps in her real crib (which is in Madi's room) and she sleeps really well in there, the only problem is that she is such a light sleeper, that we have to be really careful with the two of them. Other than some sleeping issues, she is a perfect baby! She also has two bottom teeth she got around 4 1/2 months. She is so interested in food, and so far is an excellent eater. I feed her rice cereal and baby food about three times a day.  She eats almost everything and will not be left out of anything I am eating.  She is so aware of her surrounding and loves to be outside. We love our sweet, spunky little Ella!
