Ella is 29 weeks old today. At her 6 month check-up she weighed 16 pounds and 10 ounces and measured 25,5 inches.She is in the 54th percentile for weight and the 33rd percentile for height.She is creeping and rolling and seems to keep bumping her head as she practices all her new moves..like just now..so she is on my lap while she recovers, this will take seconds and she's off again.
Back again to mess with the laptop...so many things to explore.I love our wriggly, busy, animated, sweet baby.

I can sit up now!!
On Friday last week, Ella sat up for a bit without immediately toppling over..since then we have given her opportunities to practice sitting up for longer and longer periods of time and today was the longest stretch ever..she can officially sit up by herself. It's amazing how quickly all these developments take place; I remember wondering why she wasn't rolling over yet and hearing Jenny's good advice to try not to compare her milestones with other babies...so hard to do but I know that every baby does things in their own time and she rolled when she was ready.
She is chuckling much more and is quite a ham on her high chair-she does these fake laughs to get my attention.Still doesn't call me anything -just says 'Hey' and calls Stephen 'Da-da'. Although Ella is not crawling, she manages to roll to things she wants pretty quickly when you leave her line of sight..the TV stand is her most recent target.
Most people comment that she looks just like Stephen but when she sleeps with her neck bent at an angle(don't know how that is comfortable)..she looks just like my sister to me.
She is having a good long and much needed nap right now and as much as I wait for her to sleep so I can work, I sometimes just can't wait for her to wake up so I can hold her close.
Baby's dedication is on Sunday and we chose a bible verse for her:
Numbers 6:24-26
"The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace."
I really like the Message Version:
God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.
If you are a mummy, Happy Mother's Day for Sunday...you have the most challenging job I have had so far!!!..still it's so wonderful.
Love,Pearl
