6 months yesterday

Half a year has gone by, and Hal and I agree that the first three months went very slowly and the last three months have flown. It's amazing the difference some sleep makes on your perspective. :)

Ella is up to the usual 6 month old things--sitting up, eating solid foods and LOVING them (shocking since she's so skinny to begin with...), etc. There are a few things she is doing that I want to document for my own memory.

1. She still naps only while I hold her, but that's not new. The newest development is that when she wakes up, if my eyes aren't open to greet her, she immediately reaches up and rests her hand lightly on my chin until I open my eyes. Then, there is a big grin and a loud sigh until I tell her, "Hello, baby".

2. She and Kaiser have become great friends, and he lets her pet him every day while he licks her hands. Yesterday, I looked over to discover Ella licking him instead.

3. Last but certainly not least, she now officially doesn't mind the carseat,which is a huge development. I like to think that she's so smart that she knows it means we're going somewhere, and thus she accepts the buckling in. More than likely, she's just given in to being in it after the first 5 months of torture every time we went anywhere in the car. Either way, it's a much more enjoyable ride these days.

6 months and getting more fun every day!
