6 months

Collages7Elin is 6 months.
In record speed 6 months has passed since Elin entered our lives.
This little bundle of spunk and snuggles continues to melt our hearts (and everyone else's) with her contagious smile. She really is a very happy girl.
So what's new in her world? Well she is on the go, she can army crawl fast and has started to "crawl" crawl on her hands and knees. The little stinker is trying to keep up with her brother. She loves to play with toys on her belly and puts every single thing in her mouth.  Collages9
Speaking of which she has 2 bottom teeth and is working on her top 4 middle teeth right now. She continues to be a very vocal little girl and has figured out that a loud grunt/growl will get your attention. So this is a new fun back and forth game we play all play together.  She loves to babble and scream.  She is quite the flirt when she is out and about, always flashing a big smile for anyone willing to give her the time of day.  She loves to snuggle and get kisses on the cheek or neck.  She is taking 1 or 2 morning naps and then a long afternoon nap.  The long nap she gets to snuggle up with me while I catch up on the blog or sneak in a nap in between she and Thomas.  Nights are pretty good with her getting up a few times to eat.  Sometimes she decides that she wants to get up and play for an hour in the wee hours of the morning.  Thankfully, that seems to be consistent with her needing to go poop or her teeth bothering her.  Collages11

She has been eating small amounts of food and is really pleased she is sitting in her big girl high chair. She has tried and likes bananas, roasted pears, sweet potatoes and avocado.
At her 6 Month Well Baby visit her Doctor was very pleased with all her developmental statistics.  She was 26.5 inches long and 17 lbs 7 ounces.
