6 months old

Elli had her 6 month check-up today. She weighs 16 lbs. (55th percentile) and is 26 inches long (65th percentile). We are so thankful that she is healthy and growing! These are some pictures from the past few weeks. I'm going to try and be more faithful to posting new pictures!

One of Elli's favorite places to be!
Too funny. Elli and her Aunt Erin...now we know where Elli gets her big mouth! haha

I love that she's hugging back now! So sweet.
Baby food is the new big thing! Each time she tries something new, we get a look of complete surprise and, usually, disgust. This time was carrots, which she doesn't really like. Her favorites are green beans, sweet potatoes, and bananas.
She loves her bouncer and she loves her little lamb.
We thought it was so funny how big Elli looked beside her cousin Peyton at Easter! The first thing she did was roll over onto her!
Easter at Mamaw Gail's house. She was adorned in her Easter best...all her clothes were from her great grandmothers. Mamaw Gail gave her the dress and Mother gave her the bonnet.

Naptime in her swing. She likes to sleep with her hands by her head.
Elli loves hanging out with all the college students. This was our first fellowship at our new house...5 days after we moved in!
I caught her looking at herself in the mirror and just smiling away.
Her first pair of "big girl" shoes.

Elli's Bumbo chair...she's so close to sitting up on her own, but still not quite there. She does love those feet, though!
In Papaw Bryan's hat with the beautiful spring colors behind her.
Her laugh is one of the best things about life right now! Here she's laughing at Daddy.
