Happy Half Birthday Ella!

Meet Monster Ella.
Best outtake shot

We really can't believe a half of a year has gone by since we took home our newest family member. We can't imagine life without her already, either. Life is amazing that way.

At six months old she's rolling, eating solid food, teething like crazy, and as of this weekend, fully sitting on her own!

Aside from the dreaded shots, Ella loves seeing Dr. Lynch.

Ella discovered the paper liner. She thinks it's delicious.

Much to my surprise, our very cutely creased Ella is in the 50th percentile for weight. I guess the average 6 month old has awesome rolls :)

Head Circumference: 43.9 (90th percentile)
Height: 26.25" (60th percentile)
Weight: 16lbs 4oz (50th percentile)

Mom has finally mastered walking with a leash in one hand and a stroller in the other hand. 

First time in the highchair

She's already "loads" of help. Ha!

Hangin' with Dillon at Denica's

Brown rice cereal... yum!

As promised, some "catch-up pictures" from our family time in San Diego in February. Ella is so lucky to have so many special family members who love her.

Ella loves Auntie Jeanette.
So special they came from Colorado to see us and their girls!

Ella loves cousin Melissa.
Hopefully she can meet cousin Jessica soon!

Dad loving introducing Ella to family

Ella has a newfound love of swinging. She squeals with happiness, which melts the hearts of all of us who take her to the park. So fun!
