I know, I know, it's been a long time since we've let you know everything that's going on with Miss Ella! She turned 6 months on Tuesday, weighing in at 16 lbs, 12 ounces, and 26 1/2 inches long! She grew 2 1/2 inches since her 4 month appointment! I'm having trouble keeping pants to fit, because she's getting so long- everything looks like capris all of a sudden! Ella is still a very happy baby, sleeping about 10-12 hours a night. Not a big nap fan still, but we are okay with that, because she's such a good night sleeper! We started rice cereal last week, and she did great- even happier when we started squash on Wednesday! So the path to solids has begun! She is so much fun- always smiling, always talking (last night we heard our first bit of "da, da, da, da, da"). She can roll front to back and back to front, so if you put her down on a blanket, she rolls and rolls and rolls! Not quite sitting up fully by herself, but trying really hard. Learning to hold toys and links very well, passing them from hand to hand, and shaking them with a flailing hand, up and down, trying to learn about motion! We can't wait for the Easter Bunny!
