TIME FLIES

Where did it go? We got in the house and obviously settled in... so much that I forgot to write! OR oh yeah, I forgot... I started working full time again in January. That's the same time I stopped blogging! Yep, that's it.



Don't read this blog if you don't care about baby milestones... you'll find it B O R I N G !


Okay- so catch up time! First on Ella! I write in my journal a lot (well more than blogging) so I can thankfully look up and see what my little girlie did during each of these months.


4 months- December 2010

- 50% weight, 65% height, 95% head!

- smiles ALL day long

- just had 1st day at daycare

-had 4 vaccacinations

-can grab things a little

-can hold your head

-babble and sing so cute

-chortle and belly laugh every day around 7 pm

-you wake up 1 time at night

-bedtime is 730pm-730am

-your blue eyes sparkle

-your hair is growing a LITTLE

-the Christmas card picture of you made at least 4 people tell us it was their favorite card!

-the pediatrician said, "How adoreable is this baby!?!?"

-the daycare lady at the gym said she can't wait for Mon and Weds so she can "hold smiling Ella!"

-at holiday church services you literally distracted 2 entire pews of people with your cuteness!


5 months- January 2011


-90% of the time you sleep from 7:30pm-7:30am

-take 2 naps 1-2 hours each

-have rice cereal in your bedtime bottle

-still love your MILK- you'd like 6 ounces every 2 hours if you had it your way

-you had your 1st "meal" and spit most of it out when you smiled at us

-sitting supported, but can't quite do it on your own

-roll over (not regularly, but often)

-still love to KICK

-you wiggle your butt funny

-so full of smiles still- mom wonders if this will last forever and sure hopes so!

-likes books and songs

-tries to always sing if the room is quiet

-go from giggling to ticked off screaming mad in 5 seconds or less usually

-getting bald again

-your two bottom teeth are IN and so cute


6 months- February 2011


-16 pounds and 95% for weight, height, and head

-starting to have mommy anxiety

-still kicks legs like a crazy lady- diapering is so fun because she lifts her rump up right when you want to close the diaper

-sleeps from 7:30-7am thank goodness

-usually naps twice

-eats babyfood meals

-smiles and laughs like no other- everyone comments on how smily she is

-loves to roll and stand with help

-loves to SPLASH in the bath tub which is in the kitchen sink- makes a MESS

WE LOVE YOU ELLA- can't believe how a life changes when you have a baby!
