Ella Claire Rushing: October 2010

Ella Claire Updates....

Ella just had her 6 month check up. She is 50% in weight at 16 1/2 lbs. 80% in height at 26 3/4 in. She rolled over for the first time on July 31 from belly to back, and then from back to belly on Aug. 2nd. It was so fun to watch her experiment with it! She is now "army crawling" pretty good for the past 3 weeks or so. She can get up on her knees, but she just rocks back and forth. Hasn't quite figured out how to stay up on her knees, but she is getting fast! Found her first cord around the side of the couch....scared me to death! We are baby proofing everything now! :) We are anxiously waiting to see the first tooth! I swear she's been teething since she was born. She has drooled excessively since she was 2 months old and it's only getting worse! We go through bibs like crazy! Right now she is enjoying, squash, zucchini, and rice cereal. We're going to try sweet potatoes next. Once she actually figured out how to swallow the solid food...she eats very good!

Happy 5th Anniversary Hubby!

Thank you for being a wonderful husband, best friend, and father! I am so lucky to have you as mine!! (This was also the first night ...really only about 18 hours away from Ella Claire, mommy and daddy slept in until 9:00 am! It was fabulous! Thanks Aunt Jacque for babysitting :)
