Ellie: 6 Months

At 6 months Ellie:

• Is rolling everywhere!  She rolls both ways and can pretty much get anywhere she wants to including under the furniture!
• Pivots on her belly
• Is starting to get up on her knees.  I don't think it will be too long before she's crawling!
• Can sit unassisted for a short time.
• Likes hanging out in her jumperoo
• Is teething.  No teeth yet but she is constantly chewing on her finger
• Always has her little finger pointing
• Is grabbing everything she can get her hands on.  She loves to grab my nose, glasses and hat!
• Started solids.  She has tried apples, bananas, avocado and butternut squash.  She has done really well!
• Is starting to show her personality more and more.  She can be pretty quiet at times but she is really starting to talk a lot and squeal!
• Loves her siblings!  She just laughs and smiles at them!
• Is a tiny little thing.  She weighed in at 13 lbs 1/2 oz (4%) and 27in (88%).  I think her length might not be quite accurate although she is long and skinny!
• Had her 3rd eye exam under anesthesia and continues to amaze me at well she handles being poked and prodded.  She didn't even flinch when they put in the IV this time.
•  Had her first sleepover at my sister's house while Jason and I went to a wedding in Memphis.  I was worried about leaving her but she did really well!
• Is sleeping great.  She sleeps 11-12 hours at night with one wake up around 5am. She takes 3 naps a day.
• Continues to be a huge blessing to our family.  She completes us and rounds us out and brings so much joy and happiness to us all!
