Ellie's 6 month checkup this morning brought us these stats (plus the doctor confirmed what we already knew - we have a VERY active daughter on our hands):
Head: 73% (43.2 cm)
Height: 33% (25.25")
Weight: 36% (15.4 lbs)
For those of you keeping score, her head percentile continues to increase, while her height and weight have consistently decreased. I think it's official - Ellie's size will closely resemble that of her parents (and also of a lollipop). All percentiles and candy references aside, we think she is just perfect;)
Ellie has come a long way in 6 months. We love that she can interact with us now, semi communicate what she wants with grunts, kisses, and smiles, and is extremely aware of her surroundings. For the most part, Ellie wakes up happy and goes to bed happy as long as she's stimulated in various environments throughout the day.
Our daughter loves being outside, in the water, and in any chaotic environment that she can people watch (grocery stores, airports, shopping centers). Ellie continues to live the Austin life... this morning she went to baby yoga with our nanny, Laura. Our daughter will master her downward dog before we know it!
Justin and I head to Sonoma next week, our first trip without the little nugget. While we're away, Nana is sure to spoil Ellie. While I'm a little (or a lot) anxious about leaving Ellie, it will be so nice to get 4 full days of adult time, amazing food and wine, and uninterrupted sleep. We may need to sneak in some FaceTime while away... yes, I've turned into "that" parent.

Can't believe it's been 6 months! Such a cute, smiley girl - can't wait to see what comes in the next 6 months. And, Sonoma? Super jealous. LOVE it there. I went semi-recently if you need rec's, but mostly it's Bouchon for lunch.
