A Welch Family Affair: Girlie is Growing!

Ellie had her 6 month check-up on Monday. I was a little nervous going in since we've had such issues with her eating. Well, not to worry! Ellie is now 15 pounds 8 ounces, and 26 inches long! She's in the 50th percentile for both height and weight, which makes her perfectly average :) Poor girl had to get 5 vaccines-4 shots and one oral one! Luckily, that's the last time she'll need that many. At her 9 month appointment, she only gets one. We're lucky in the fact that Ellie doesn't seem too affected by them, other than the initial prick. Dave was excited to be able to come to the appointment. He hasn't been able to come to once since her 3 day appointment back in November!

I think I wrote about starting Ellie on food a few weeks ago. She's eating oatmeal like a champ at daycare, and we just started her on some fruit. I made homemade pears this week, which Ellie's not super fond of yet. Hopefully, she'll find her nitch with the solids :) It's interesting, she seems to eat it SOOO much better at daycare. Mommy doesn't need anymore food stress. Hah! The bottle fiasco was almost too much for me to handle. Anyways, I'm going to approach this with complete relaxation, and I'm sure Ellie will respond that way too!

We got some pictures of Ellie in the Jumperoo this morning. Man, this thing is the best $89 we've spent! She LOVES it! She gets her feet going now and it is so funny.

Ohhh...toys...
