Ms. Ella

We went to Ella's 9 month checkup on Monday and the doctor said she is doing great.  She is 19lbs which is the 60th percentile, 27.5" long which is the 40th percentile and her head circumference is in the 80th percentile.  She is a great eater and some of her shirts are hard to get over her head, so those numbers seem right! 

Wow, things are busier now that she is moving around.  It is nearly impossible to get her to sit and just play, she is always on the go, pulling up on everything.  She officially has her first bruise on her forehead from hitting her head on a door frame when she was trying to pull up on it. 

One of her favorite spots to hit her head is on the end tables. 

Turns out the dishwasher is perfect for pulling up on.  

Poor little girl had to give blood and got a cute little bandage on her arm.  I was really surprised that she didn't mess with it at all.  

Thanks for the cute Valentines card Granny!  Ella used it for a place mat for a while.  Another great pic with a puff stuck to her face - she is puff obsessed!  We need to start trying finger foods, I think that she'll really enjoy it.  Oh, Ella had her first guacamole the other night at the Mexican food restaurant.  We don't know what to do with such a great eater!!
