Happy Half Birthday to Ella

Today is Ella's half birthday! Only 6 more months before she is 1 year old!


Today she went to her 6 month check up. She is doing well and the doctor says I'm a good mom and to keep doing what I'm doing. She is the happiest baby in the office. I asked the doctor to put her on an alternate vaccination schedule, because she is always really sick and doesn't eat much for a whole week after she gets her shots. The doctor agreed that we need to do things differently for Ella. She only got two vaccines today and she seems to be doing much better. If she has a reaction at 9 months to her shots than we will have a clue that she might be allergic to the some of the vaccines.


So now that Ella is 6 months she can sit up and roll all over the place. She can scoot and she tries to crawl. She loves to eat and she has eaten fruits and veggies. She is learning what a sippy cup is and what it is for, she isn't sure how to hold it yet. She can give you high 5 when you ask and she recognized her favorite songs. She is very smart and very active. She knows her name and if you tell her to do something, like smash, she will smash. I wish I had more time to go on about how smart she is, but it is really something you gotta witness for your self.
