So big at 6 months

Ella is officially a big girl! She weighed in at 18 and a half pounds and 27 and three quarters for height! She is the size of a 9 month old!

The doctor says that at 9 months, we can get her blocked tear duct taken care of. I didn't realize that they had to put her asleep for that. I don't know how I would have thought they did do it.

Real solids...kind of

Ella is really growing and making all sorts of noises. Still trying to get her to say "Mama" but no luck yet. Since she looks just like her dad, she will probably say "Dada" first. Ed pointed out that while saying "Mama" would be cool, I wouldn't think it was cool if she woke up in the middle of the night screaming it. Point taken...

We go to the doctor on Friday. We can't wait to see how much Ella weighs. We will definitely give you updates.

Here is a picture of Ella enjoying cantelope. This little thing is the most awesome thing. She really gets things chopped down. So far, Ella has only had cantelope and honeydew melon for "real food" and that is just with the chomp job she does with the cool thing that doesn't let her swallow whole.

We are still here...

My, when you work you hardly have any time with a little one around! Ella is getting so big! She goes for her 6 month check up on the 19th. Can't wait to see how big she is!

Ella is VERY curious and putting everything in her mouth. Luckily she hasn't found anything too dangerous...



Books a becoming a fast favorite. This is one of her favorites as it lights up and sings. Mommy sings too, but I think she likes the book voice better. No comments from the peanut gallery on that one...She is also sitting up for short bouts of time.



Ella sits up like a big girl, sort of.



Of course she loves to smile, but as soon as the shiny camera comes out, she gets distracted.



And, Ella has been a great diner in restaurants. Her favorite...Wild Wing:)
