Elli is growing so quickly. I can't believe we will be celebrating her 6 mo. birthday on Monday. Has it really been half a year already?? She is becoming a champ when it comes to eating. She'll now eat most anything we give her. She gets fruit in the morning and a veggie at night. Her favorites are pears and bananas! We've also been noticing an increase in appetite within the last couple of days. Tonight she ate sweet potatoes and 7 oz. of milk before bed!! Hopefully this means she will also sleep like a champ! She is still relatively difficult to feed as she gets very distracted with everything (i.e. looking outside, looking at the fabric on the high chair, and etc.).

Elli is with her new monkey from FL. Mom showed Elli this monkey at one store and she absolutely loved it, but it had a shirt on that we didn't like. So....we searched for another one of these monkeys at every store our last couple days of our trip. We couldn't leave FL without this monkey.

Since birth, Elli lost most of her hair and we've been wondering when it was going to grow back. The other day we noticed that it has slowly started to come in.

Picture of Elliana in the hospital with a head full of hair.

Finally starting to grow some hair again and its............Blonde!! Hopefully by her 1 year birthday we can start clipping some bows in her hair :)

Snuggle time before bed. Rough day for Mommy as you can see! I had a migraine and Scott was in Dayton at an airshow! After getting sick 2 times and feeling like every little sound and light were going to make my head explode, I called in some help! Thanks Kelli for watching Elli....don't know what I would have done if you wouldn't have come over!!
