Six Months

Our little lady is officially six months old! She went for her checkup yesterday and had a good visit. Here are her stats: 26.5 inches (78%) and 15 pounds 2 ounces (34%). Long and lean! The doctor said that she is growing well and doing great. Elizabeth is now sitting for shorter periods of time. She can sit by herself for a few minutes, but when she gets tired or off balance she can tip over pretty easily. She is also rolling and wiggling. Her doctor said that crawling isn’t very far off, but Mom and Dad can definitely wait for that! Ha ha!

We’ll be starting fruits and veggies now after doing the rice cereal routine for a couple of months. It will be fun to see how Ellie likes all of the new flavors and textures. Maybe it will encourage Ben to eat his vegetables too if Sister does. :)

Elizabeth likes to “talk” to anyone that will listen. We don’t have any real consonant sounds yet, but lots of cooing and “singing”. She also has a few dinosaur noises up her sleeve that she pulls out when she really gets going. Her belly laughs are increasing in frequency and she really enjoys being tickled and entertained.

We are so thankful for this sweet blessing!
