What a cutie-pie! Ella is such a go-getter. From the time she wakes up until she goes to bed, she's constantly on the go--crawling, pulling up (even on walls), climbing, and pulling toys out of all the baskets. She's hard to keep up with, but oh so much fun! She laughs and snorts when she's excited and started making kissy faces lately. She can wave and say "bye-bye" and can also say "mama," "dada," and "baba" (which we think means Baylor, whom she adores). She's started rejecting baby food because she's more interested in self-feeding. So, she makes lots of messes with Cheerios, watermelon, mango, grapes, rice, noodles and beans. She's still taking a bottle every 3 hours (5 a day), but has been practicing lately with sippy cups and straws. Only 2 teeth, which I'm not sure you can see in these pictures. Just like her sister, she's a great sleeper, generally snoozing for about 11 hours each night and taking 1 or 2 naps everyday.As you can see, she's quite a ham for the camera, although I have to be very quick because she doesn't sit still for long...
I took her in for her 9-month checkup, and true to form, she's tall and thin and very healthy. Here are her stats:
Weight: 15.9 lbs (6th percentile)
Height: 27 1/4 in. (45th percentile)
Head: 17 in. (25th percentile)
Most people think she's much bigger than Gracie (because of her yummy rolls), but at every check-up, she's only about a pound heavier. Looking and her stats, weight obviously isn't an issue for either one of them (thank you, Lord, for good genes).
