Six Months Old!

I'm in shock. Six months old! Seriously? Rather than a cake, Ellie celebrated her first half year of life with her first taste of sweet potato! I think it might take a feeding or two for her to warm up to it, but she didn't hate it or gag so I'll take it!

Okay, so what can I tell you about our sweet girl? She is totally smitten with her older brother. She is content to just stare at him all day long but usually grabs at his face and hair. Luckily, most of the time Jack laughs and says, "Baby hold my hair!" (Yes, he calls her "baby" most of the time.)

When she's not gazing adoringly at Jack she loves to roll across the floor. We don't remember Jack being so into rolling. Honestly, if you leave Ellie on the floor and walk away she is bound to be found on the opposite side of the room when you return. She pushes up on her hands and pivots or rolls to get where and what she wants.

How old does she look in this picture?
We don't have many pictures with the "I'm Six Months Old Today" sign because she did this: Girl has a grip! She is kind of freakishly strong.

Just a sweet picture of her from the other day. Getting better at sitting up every day!

Ellie's 6 month well baby appointment is Tuesday so I will write then with her stats. I'm so curious to find out what she weighs and where she lies on the stupid growth charts.

Great photos...I wouldn't worry about those stupid growth charts...she gets a straight A on the beauty charts.

For crying out loud she is sooooo cute! We CAN'T WAIT to see her this Friday!

P.S. Like Ellie, we are ALL totally smitten with Jack. Can't wait to see him too!
