** Make sure and take a good look at those thighs of hers :) She is not a long skinny baby anymore! :)

CLICK HERE to compare Ella's 6 month picture with the past 5 months.





NEW DEVELOPMENTS in the past month:

• ROLLS over both directions- CONSTANTLY!
• sits up by herself, very well now
  
• tries to crawl by putting her butt up in the air but hasn't gotten much farther then a little nudging.
• grabs everything and picks everything up in sight up and immediately places it in her mouth
• figured out she can chew and suck on her feet, even when sitting straight up
• laughs, smiles and flirts with the dogs all the time
  
• to get something she wants she rolls over and over and over until she has gotten to the place she wants to be... she goes from one end of the room to the other QUICKLY!
• throws her toys on the ground jsut to watch us pick them up and then repeats all over again.
• LOVES to eat pears (baby food). She actually wants to eat it rather then forcing her.
• tries to feed herself sometimes by grabbing the spoon and bowl- what a mess.
• NOT SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT :( Ella has always been a good sleeper and lately she has been waking up in the middle of the night-- NOT FUN!
• going to sleep on her back and finding her on her stomach half way through
• figured out she can spit (putting her lips together and spitting out her tongue) and how much "fun" it is to do
• Once again her "little" thighs just keep getting yummier :) hahah... we are not worried about her not growing, she is doing quite well even the doctor told us he assumed he weren't concerned about her not growing because she has some meat on her!
  

That's all I can think of right now, I am sure i am missing something. Anyways, as you can tell she has had some major milestones this past month :) Such a big girl!!
