Elsie at 6 months

Elsie had her 6 month wellness appointment today and I thought I would share the results along with some recent pics of her that just make me melt.
Weight: 14.9 lbs-29%
Height: 26.8 in-85%
Head: 16.3 in-23%
Now for the pics:

She loves to smile and show off her two little bottom teeth. The whole teething process was not scary at all (like I was imagining) and she was such a trooper through it all. Really, she just wanted to sleep her way through teething, which I was just fine with.

She is rolling all over the place and her little legs are that strong yet but she tries to stand on our laps all the time. Poor little legs just give out right from under her all the time. I think she saw her cousin Ethan standing up like a strong little boy and realized it was time to give it a try. Ethan is a month younger than Elsie and he is such a strong little tyke.

I can't enough of her blue eyes. They are so inquisitive. And her eyelashes go on forever and ever.

She is so cute! I wish we were closer but maybe we will get together soon. Cannon gave her a kiss through the computer and said "that was on the cheek not the lips."

I love the Elsie pictures. She is just darling. I am glad that teething has gone well so far. Sleeping through it sounds like she had the right idea. Way cute Jill!
