Here's Ellie!

Ellie has been doing really well lately. So far we suspect she is allergic to peaches, apples, and rice, but everything else she has tolerated very well. She loves to be fed at 7am, noon, and 5pm like clockwork. Better get the food ready fast and keep it coming, because she has no patience when she is hungry. She can eat up to 3 Stage 2 baby food jars in a sitting...that is quite a bit of food! She also took a stab at real cooked carrots but most of them ended up on her lap. Good first try

She goes to bed somewhere between 7 and 8, and still gets up once at night somewhere in the 1-4 range. Then its lights on about 5:30-6:30 and the day starts again. She weighed 18 lbs and was 27 in long at her 6 mo checkup...that put her in the 99th percentile for height and in the 70s for weight. She is still catching up from her infant problem, I suppose, but she is doing so much better overall.

Gymnastics Day

We have had a couple of people ask us to get back into the blogging business, so here we are. We had a difficult time finding our camera after both of us were gone. It seems that Gracie hid the camera when Lindsay left for CA, so the cords made it there (and not back) and the camera remained here. Anyway, now we are back in business.

Gracie started "gymnastics" today! We took some pre-game shots at the house and she showed us several interesting faces...

She is in a 2-year old class on Saturdays for an hour. It was mostly a structured fun period since you can't really teach 2-year olds anything complicated, but all the activities revolved around physical movement and coordination. Today's focus was on rolls, so Gracie got to do somersaults and roll like a log, which she enjoyed. Dad joined her on the mat and worked hard to keep her focused. At the end, she got to play with bubbles, which are one of her favorites!

We had a great time and she cried when we left. She loves playing on things...we are looking forward to going back next week!
