Ella at 6 Months

Age:  6 months

Weight:   16 lbs 6oz (47th%) at your Drs. appointment on January 3rd. 

Height:  27.5 inches (90th %)

Head:   42.5 cm (48th %)

Milestones: On November 23rd you stood against Nanas and Granddads coffee table, I was in the shower but Daddy got a picture of it.  You had your first taste of oatmeal on November 26th and loved it, we had to start feeding it to you while we ate dinner because you were getting made that we were eating and you weren't. 

Best Moment:  Daddy seeing you stand all on your own, well with a little help from the coffee table. 

Worst Moment:  No longer wanting to go to "strangers" aka family you haven't seen in a while.

Hair: Your hair is getting a little longer and thicker in places, but you still have some bare patches from rubbing your hair off.  It is a light brown color now, but think it will darken up once you have more of it.

Eye Color:  They are still changing color, turing a brownish color we think.

Who you look like: 100% Daddy

Clothes:  You are wearing very few 3-6 month sizes, fitting only if they are big.  You mainly wear 6-9 or 9  month clothes and are filling them out much better.  

Sleeping Through the Night: Nope.  You wake up usually  three to four or more times during the night.  Usually when we first put you to bed then around 12:00 am, 4:00 am, 6:00 am, and finally waking up for the day around  8:00 - 9:00am.

Schedule: You go to bed any where from 7:30 pm to 9:00pm.   You wake up around  8:00 am to 9:00 am, just depends on the day and what time you went to bed the night before. You are still not a napper, Mommy can get you to take one or two naps but you want to sleep on Mommy and not in your crib.  

Eating:  During the day you like to eat every couple of hours.  We now feed you oatmeal at night which you really enjoy.

Teeth: Not yet, thank goodness. 

Diapers: Size 3 of Earth's Best diaper. 

Travel: We went to Iowa for Thanksgiving.  We also went to the Lincoln Museum in Springfield on December 5th.

Biggest Change:  How you are watching things more carefully now.

Extra Comments:  You now enjoy watching Nala and Meeko roam around the house.  You sat on Santa's lap when your grandparents where here and didn't cry. On December first we went to cut down your first Christmas tree, daddy did a good job cutting  :)
