I can't believe my pretty little girl is already 6 months old! She is the sweetest, happiest, calmest little girl ever! She is all smiles all the time! Ella has suck a big beautiful toothless smile and gorgeous big brown eyes. I love seeing how alert she is too. She's always reaching for things and always munching on her feet. She absolutely loves her brother...and he loves her SO much! She is so strong. She's been rolling over for a while and she can sit up all her own now! She's even scooting all over the place and just starting to rock on her knees!  She is such a talker...a loud one! She makes sure she can be heard by everyone. Every time I'm talking to stares at my mouth so intensely and mimics my mouth by moving hers. She makes so many weird sounds. Chris says she sounds like a little dinosaur. When she wants something or isn't happy with something she grunts really loud. In the car we all rotate making the "Indian" sound where you move your hand on and off your mouth, but she does it with her fist. ha ha.  Ella loves bath time with he brother, she loves playing with her feet, and she loves eating paper. I really don't know what it is with the paper, she could be surrounded by toys but she'll somehow manage to find some piece of paper and eat it! Which is odd considering she hates eating her actual food. She wasn't a fan of rice cereal so we didn't push it, we went right into bananas (which she likes to munch on), avocados, and sweet potatoes. She also loves it when she's worn in the sling by me or her daddy! She is just always so content. Oh and she's super ticklish! I love her laugh!!

"Baby girl" is still nursing like a champ! Her first tooth cut through on March 1st (I'm a little nervous about any biting). She wears size 3-6 month clothes, size 3 diapers, and shoes...well, she's mostly in socks right now. Chris wants to be the one to buy her her first pair of earrings so we might take her some time in the next few months to get them pierced.

Here are some of her cute moments caught on camera!
