6 months


How is this baby already 6 months?! She is now 16lbs 9oz in the 64%, 26in in the 62% and her head 44.5cm in the 94%! Poor big headed baby. 

Elinor is sitting up like a champ. No crawling yet but the other day she pushed herself backwards across the livingroom to the wall and got stuck. Since then there hasn't been much movement. Ellie gets excited when she sees her friends now. Every morning when we get to work as soon as she sees Henri she starts giggling. Same with Dorie and some other friends we have. A couple of weeks ago she started reaching for who she wants. I love it! Another big milestone, the day after she turned 6 months a tooth started to pop through. We are still waiting for it to come all the way through. She is still going on the potty every morning and also sometimes at night and on the weekends. She did poop in a big potty at the library a few weeks ago! 
As for eating, baby led weaning is going great. She loves everything we have given her (avocado, mango, broccoli, asparagus, quinoa, soy yogurt, watermelon, cucumbers, tofu, smoothies, and more). Only downside is if we are eating ice cream or something we don't want her to eat she gets frantic. We just have to start waiting until she is asleep to enjoy some treats.

Half Birthday Party

We were very excited for Elinor's half birthday. My sister came in town for it. Really she comes once a month and decided to come with gifts. Ellie got 2 new awesome books and teddy ruxpin dvd! Thanks Auntie Courtney!

Even though she had got shots the day before she was in a pretty good mood. Just a couple of meltdowns when she just needed to eat and snuggle up with me then she would be back to normal.

After work Dave picked us up and we went to Veggie Galaxy for a birthday dinner. She was so happy looking around at everyone. She always thinks everyone is there to see her wherever we go. When we sat down though she got a little fussy so I fed her. I ordered tofu eggs and bananas for her. She ended up falling asleep after eating. She didn't wake up until we got home.
We had brought her leftovers home so when she woke up we lit a candle and sang happy half birthday to her before dinner. She thought it was hilarious. 

I have to wash her diaper we use to take her monthly picture so I hope we can get those done soon!
