Elaine is certainly showing us how she is growing! As I begin to clear her outgrown clothes to the storage bins in the basement, I am reminded how far she has come. From our itty bitty 6lb 13 oz baby to something close to 16 lbs (official weight tomorrow when she gets her shots), and from a baby who barely cracked her eyes open and slept all day to an interactive, lauging, blue-eyed beauty! From our bald baby doll to what we now affectionately call "fluffy-head". She bats at toys, can roll onto her tummy, laughs when we tickle her, and is working on all the vowel and consonant sounds she can muster up. At 6 months, we are simply taken with her. She's also battled her first illnesses and is even beginning to develop a napping schedule, which is working in our favor. She eats veggies made with my baby food maker, rice cereal, and yes, she's still getting 95% breastmilk (formula to catch me up if I get behind). She loves her "crinkle purse", grabbing her feet, the Whoozit, Sophie the Giraffe, and her "bounce bounce."
On MLK Day, LeAnn and her daughter Ellie stopped by for a playdate. Here are the two girls operating the "bounce bounce." Ellie has the exact same one at home.
My, she is taking notes from Ellie! And yes, fluffyhead is appropriate. She is such a little lady in her darling outfit. I love what you write about her.
