Ella had her 6 month appointment today. The doctor had only good things to say about her, and she is doing wonderfully. She is 19lbs and 27.25in. That is the 95th percentile for both weight and height. She's a big girl.

The doctor gave me some suggestions about how to get Ella to eat solid foods, so I'm excited to try those out. She thinks that it could be that Ella just doesn't want to be fed - maybe she is too independent to be fed. So, we are getting some teething biscuits for Ella to feed herself. If that works, we may just have to put blobs of food on her high chair and let her scoop it up and eat it with her fingers. What a fun mess that will make!

Ella also got three shots today. She cried, she got over it. Babies sure are resilient.

That is great!!!! She is doing sooo good - thanks to her mommy giving her a jump start. Big? Now what would those Big Beautiful Blue Eyes look like on a little girl? Ella is just perfect. Love you, Nana
