6 months!

Baby girl turned 6 months old on Saturday!  We actually went to her checkup back on the 15th, so we were a bit early but the doctor's visit confirmed that Ella is growing like a weed.  I keep forgetting to go back and re-measure her b/c they marked her height at 25 inches but she was squirming and grabbing the paper that the nurse was making the marks on so there is no way that is right.  But the scales don't lie and she weighed in at 15 lbs. 1.6 oz.  That is in the 25th percentile.

Although we have no visual confirmation, Michael and I swear she is going to get a tooth any day now.  She is chewing on everything!  Her favorite right now is this rubber giraffe we have - the giraffe hooves are the perfect size right now! 

We are still working on solids.  She apparently eats great at school and doesn't like the rice cereal, but likes the fruit or veggies straight from the jar.  I can't get her to eat well for us at home...and this weekend she came down with a stomach virus that is floating around the school so we are on a solids hiatus right now.  Fortunately it was only really a 24 hour deal and she is much better now.  It was odd, she was her usual happy self and didn't seem to really care after she would throw up on us, no fever.  Nevertheless, we are glad to be done.  It was her first real illness though - not bad going 6 months before getting stick.  And she's already been in school for 2 months.

We won't go back to the doc until 9 months, so more stats to come in 3 months!
