* As she told you below, she has two new teeth! Her two bottom teeth broke through together on May 4th. Her top gums are pretty swollen, so I think she must be working on those two top teeth right now.
* At 6 months, she weighed 14 pounds, 4 ounces, so I am guessing she may weigh around 15 pounds now. She is definitely still our peanut, but does have the cutest little rolls too.
* She wears 6-9 month clothes and a size 2 diaper.
* She has officially outgrown her swing, but loves her exersaucer and her johnny jumper. She also can sit up on her own, so she will sit and play with toys now. She looks so big whenever she does that! We still have to put her boppy behind her when she sits because she will throw herself back whenever she is excited. She is a little on the wild side! :)
* Ellie is eating baby food twice a day now. She will eat a fruit and vegetable for lunch and dinner. So far, she has had peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, bananas, apples, pears, and prunes. She loves the fruit and tolerates the veggies!
* She is still nursing about 4-5 times a day.
* She is starting to get herself on a little schedule. Unfortunately, she doesn't always get to nap when she wants to because we are on the go so much. She usually wakes up around 7:00, nurses around 8:00, takes a morning nap around 9:00, nurses at 10:30, eats lunch around 11:45, nurses at 2:30, naps again, eats dinner around 5:00, nurses at 6:30 and goes to bed for the night after that!
* She slept through the night for the first time last night! I put her down around 6:30 p.m. and she slept until almost 6:00 a.m. this morning. She usually wakes up around 11:00 for a little snack, but I am hoping that we are going to start giving that up soon.
* She talks all the time, loves to interact with her sisters, Mommy and Daddy, and is very observant. She doesn't want to miss a trick!
* She is very ticklish and will laugh out loud when you tickle her under her chin.
* She puts everything in her mouth, but doesn't really drool that much with teething!
* Little Peanut is starting to have separation anxiety. :( She has started crying when someone holds her that she hasn't seen in a while. She does great sometimes, but will cry sometimes too. We are on the verge of getting into that stage though.
* She smiles ALL. THE. TIME! We call her Smiley because she is the happiest little baby. She just melts your heart with all of her gummy grins!
We love you, baby girl! You are just the sweetest, happiest girl and you definitely are a pleasure to be with! Happy 7 Months, Ellie Belle!
