6 months!

Can you believe a half of a year has past since this sweet little lady joined our family?! 

At 6 months, Elna:

-is “talking” more than ever.  Every day she seems to come up with a new sound—so much fun!

-loves interacting with almost anyone.  She tries to get people’s attention and once she does she starts “talking” to them.

-is sitting up all by herself.

-is eating some solids kind of.  She doesn’t ingest that much, but she sure likes to chomp and suck on pears, cucumbers, oranges, and sweet potato.

-has 2 full bottom teeth!

-does not like being on her hands and knees to do rocka rocka (however, 3 days into her 7 month she is almost crawling.  It happens so fast!)

-is not the world’s best sleeper.  (last night she woke up every 2-3 hours)

-has night terrors every night between 10-12 p.m.  It’s so sad.  (any ideas on what to do about these?)

-loves sitting in her bumbo on the counter while I cook or do dishes.  She’s happiest with a few plastic lids or measuring spoons.

-has the most charming personality and smile.  She has even started smiling for the camera—a toothy, wide smile with cute squinty eyes. 

Elna is 19.12 lbs. (97%), 27 1/4” tall (93%) with a head circumference of 43 1/2 cm (79%)

We are in love!
