These are all pictures from the day that Elsie turned 6 months eventhough she is now 6.5 months.

At 6 months - Elsie weighed in at the doctor at 16 pounds 6 oz. I think length was 24 inches? I can't find the sheet where it is written!
At 6 months - Elsie was sitting for a few minutes by herself, now she sits by herself and also can maneuver around a bit and reach for toys and what not.
She was eating a handful of solids. Favorites are squash and pears. She eats oatmeal in the morning. Other foods she eats now include green beans, pumpkins, and maybe that is it? She is going to try peas today. She has had bananas and avocado as well but didnt take to those right away.
At 6 months she started to have formula supplements instead of just breastmilk. She likes formula just as much as breastmilk. She loves to eat!
She still spits up eventhough she had a nice break for a little bit where it was getting much better. It may have something to do with Target brand formula?
Her favorite things to play with are strings, hair, and her yellow and orange nuk. SHe is very funny with her nuk and will try to fit the whole entire thing in her mouth and will turn it around and stuff. It is more of a toy now then a pacifier.
Just today I tried to put her down for a nap without her nuk and at one point she gave a little cry that turned into a laugh. Then she just started laughing hysterically and I laughed back at her. WE both got into this laughing fit for a minute or two. She is a cutie! I went to get a paci for her and she fell asleep within a minute. She still takes 2 shorter naps and one longer one. Every once in a while just two longer naps for the day.
She has been less consistent with night sleep lately and will wake up during the night again sometimes. Her dad and I are not fans of this!
No teeth yet.
She is currently sitting on my lap and very content just playing with my sweatshirt zipper.
Oh - something I forgot to write at 5 months is that her right eye completely cleared up. Her left eye still gets the crustys sometimes but is looking much better.
That is all to report for now - hopefully I will write again soon for 7 months!
