Six Months

Ella is six months old now. Time is flying and she is growing so fast! So, to mark the occasion I thought I'd plaster tons of pictures of her all over our blog. If you find that annoying, I guess this blog isn't for you. But before you leave, be sure to vote on the poll we posted about blog related pet peeves. Now, here's the scoop on Ella:

She still doesn't love tummy time but is very good at assuming the Superman flying position every time we put her on her tummy

Though still prone to falling over, she is sitting up on her own now and getting better at it every day

She has already discovered the phone

She likes to wear these cute booties and grab at the bears

She has two (sharp) bottom teeth and is still teething

She puts up with the cold, doesn't complain about her car seat, and is generally very patient and good natured

She still has beautiful, huge eyes that seem to be settling into a chocolate brown color. In the right light they can double as mirrors (okay, that's an exaggeration, but they are big and do reflect a lot)   

She is very social and likes to make faces and smile at people (provided she's not tired or hungry)

Ella is also learning to fall asleep without being held or rocked and she's still enjoying rice cereal. We'll start introducing some vegetables and fruits soon. She also likes watching mom in the kitchen and when dad is studying she likes to sit on his lap and reach for his books. We love her!
