Elle is 6 months old!!

I can't believe our baby girl was born 6 whole months ago, and that in 6 more months we will be celebrating her 1st birthday! I guess the saying is true, "Time flies when you're having fun!" Of course I want Elle to grow, but I just wish the clock would slow down a little! Being a mother is so bittersweet!

Everyday with Elle is a new adventure, and it is so exciting to watch her reach each milestone. She has changed so much these past few weeks!! The transition from 5 months to 6 months has definitely been the biggest so far. She is eating many solids now - squash, sweet potatoes, peas, applesauce, pears and bananas. The only thing she doesn't really care for at the moment is carrots, and I am positive it is because they aren't sweet enough! I think she is going to have a sweet tooth, just like her momma! Also, Elle loves to be the center of attention at all times - she the princess, of course! She is certainly developing her own little personality. We are having so much fun with her!

Here's to you Miss Elle! Happy 6 months!

My absolute favorite!! Elle laughing is the greatest sound in the world. Almost anything can make her laugh - she is such a happy baby!

She can cheese it up for the camera, talk and make all kinds of crazy noises! She loves to have dance parties in her exersaucer! I tried to catch her on camera before heading to church last week. She was a little camera shy at first....

Elle LOVES water (bath, pool, anything...), so we decided to get her a kiddy pool for the deck for the times we can't make it to the neighborhood pool. She has started splashing around - look at her go!

She can blow bubbles on command!

(actually, just when her Great-Grandmother tells her to - she has the magic touch!)

Everyone look out - there is a reckless driver on the loose!

Look, I can sit up all by myself!

Our pretty girl!
