6 Months

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Elle Belle!!

6-month measurements:
Weight: 17 lbs 5 oz (75% tile)
Height: 26 inches (58% tile)
Head circumference: 43.8 cm (84% tile)

New places visited: Steamboat Springs, CO; the North Cascades National Park, WA, Rattlesnake Ridge hike, WA.

Favorites: blowing bubbles/raspberries (sounds like a whoopee cushion), taking showers, playing in the Exersaucer, textures - the wall next to her changing table is getting many fingerprints since she likes to scrape her fingers over it while getting her diaper changed, eating with Mom and Dad and trying new foods (rice cereal, avocado, bananas), looking at ceiling fans/lights, rolling the ball back and forth and changing positions from back-to-tummy in her crib. And, she loves to watch for when her Daddy comes home from work - it is so precious to see her light up, giggle and laugh when he walks in the room. Happy 6 months, Pumpkin, we love you so much!

I love playing with mom and dad's exercise ball, even though it's 10x bigger than me!

Love the Johnny Jump Up

Thanks for my Exersaucer, Grandma and Grandpa Dahlgren! I love it!

I found Eliana laughing and turned 180 degrees different from when I put her down at nap time to the time she woke up
