My sweet Elle is half a year old!! I just can't believe how time is flying. I have been sooo enjoying having a little girl and am excited to see her everyday. I know it may sound corny, but it's true. She is one of the most wonderful people I know. It helps that she doesn't talk, wak, destroy anything, or make too much of a ruckus, at least she doesn't with me.
She has grown so much! She was only 6lbs and 9 oz at birth, a little skinny thing. I was afraid, not of anything in particular, but just because she was so little. I'd never seen a baby as little as she. Ky was 8lbs at birth and I thought he was small. Those two lbs and ozs really make a difference though.
Elle has always been tough though. She fought me every time I tried to feed her, as if she started out life ready to fight her way through it. When she was in the womb, every time they showed her on ultrasound, she had her fist up. She keeps them up to this day and though she is very congenial, sweet and just an all around perfect baby, she likes things her way and will fight when need be.
She smiles a lot. I love her gummy smile above the best, but her grins are great too! She has learned how to roll from her tummy to her back, but hasn't figured out how to get fully around yet. She can sit up if I place her on her bottom. She'll sit unassisted for about 30 seconds before falling over and laughing. I think she believes sitting and falling over is a game, she gets a real kick out of it. She also makes a bunch of interesting faces that I think are just so precious, hence, why her nickname of sorts is Precious Girl.
Sometimes I get tempted to compare her to other babies, like I used to do with Ky. He could sit up by himself and crawl by the time he was six months, but Elle is lazy and is content to just sit or stand and look at people. I really don't care what other people's babies are doing, because I think she is way better than most babies, regardless of what she can or can't do.
I cannot believe how fast these six months have passed. Here's some pics of my sweet baby girl!

Happy that she's eating sweet potatoes
