SIX MONTHS

I was pretty much pregnant last week and now somehow I have a baby that is half a year old????

Not sure how this happened.

She is rolling over front to back/ back to front all over the house

She tries so hard to arch her back and fall out of the bumbo

She has started eating rice crackers, banana and rice cereal

She love ice, strawberries and frozen grapes in this thing

She smiles all day and laughs a lot if you nibble in just the right places

She loves reading books with just mama each night

Nurses all day and still hasn't had a bottle

Sleeps three naps a day and 13 hours at night but has taken a liking to nursing twice a night now (we will blame it on a six month growth spurt??)

17 pounds.....I think Ella was 21 months when she was 17 pounds :)

So in celebration of her half birthday

I did what any good parent would do

I handed her an ICE CREAM CONE !!!!!

 She loved every single minute of it!

 Checking out sister to see if she got one too

yep sis was there making just as big of a mess

 I would try and help clean up the mess with some licks but she would go nuts when it was time to share

 Things quickly got out of control!!!!!

 I finished off the cone and she threw a pretty big fit.

This was the moment when I realized she might be a little bit more like her sister then we thought.

Don't let her sweet, mellow demeanor fool you anymore!

 Ella quickly tried to comfort her but this turned into chocolate being smeared from one child to another.

I wrapped them both up in this blanket and all three of us had to take a nice long bath.

And if you can imagine that turned into a huge mess too.

WE LOVE YOU EVER JO!

Here is Ellie at six months!
