6 Months Old

I just realize I had not updated this blog in 6 months! A lot has happened in the last 6 months. Our little Ella is getting so big.

Now that she's 6 months old, Ella
  • is in 9 months and 12 months sized clothing (depends if she is wearing a cloth diaper or disposable)
  • We use cloth diapers at home and disposables when we are out and at night. When she is wearing disposables she is in size 4 diapers
  • weighs over 20 lbs (her next checkup is Nov 1)
  • Still nurses every 3-4 hours
  • She is very interested in food. She loves to eat the little baby puff snacks that melt in her mouth and baby food/baby oatmeal. Her favorite is squash and sweet potatoes. She does not like apple sauce.
  • Takes about 3 naps a day and since her hospital stay she wakes up about one time a night
  • Loves it when her daddy comes home
  • enjoys going outside
  • is crawling and scooting everywhere. She is working on getting from a crawling position to a sitting up position. She is sitting up great and is scooting to mommy when she wants to be picked up.
  • enjoys grabbing things, especially electronics like mommy and daddy's phones
  • high fives and even sounds like she says "Hey" when people tell her hi
  • wants to listen to music when she is tired in order to go to sleep
  • enjoys her exersuacer and floor time
  • loves to scream and make noises. She is very loud!
  • She has her bottom teeth.
    Last month we went to Disney with Ella and she did great. She loved the characters and even tried to eat Pluto. I think she thought it was a big stuffed animal. Stuffed animals are her favorite toys.
