Ellie at 6 months

I can't believe my sweet girl is 6 months old.  Ellie really is the absolute sweetest baby and just makes everyone she comes in contact with smile.  Any time
I go anywhere I get stopped constantly by people telling me how pretty or cute she is!  She just draws people to her!  Here are some things are Ellie at 6 months that I want to remember.
*just like her big brother, she has th cutest wrinkly nose smile.  I just about die every time she flashes it because it's a cute!
*she is most defiantly a daddy's girl!  She reaches for her daddy when she sees him and gives him her best smiles.
*she is sleeping good- usually from7-7.  She doesn't like to to rocked to sleep.  I feed her and then put her in bed still awake. If she wakes in the night,
I just have to give her her paci and she goes to sleep. Her nap times during the day I'm not quite so consistent.  I drag her around so much she naps when she can.    she is really good about this- majorly flexible and go with the flow!
*she is very loud! She loves to talk and make noises!
*she is a drooling queen- I have been looking for a tooth for a while, but I haven't found one yet.
*she loves to be held.  She will sit in the bouncy seat it jumper for a short period of time.  She really prefects to sit on the floor with toys.
* even though she has chubby thighs, she's petite.  At her 6 month appointment today she was 15.12 pounds (45%) 26 in (50%) and her head was in the 50%.  She did great at her appointment and only fussed (not even a real cry) a minute after her second shot.
*she loves her bubba and is not too sure
About her sissy, I know they will be friends soon.
*she loves bathtime.  Especially since now she is able to sit up by herself in the bathtub.  She loves to kick and splash in the water.
* I call her a call monkey because she crabs anything and everything she can.  She puts everything straight into her mouth.
*she loves her daddy.  When she sees him her face lights up.  He is the only one she reaches for and she snuggles up to him.
* I haven't started giving her baby food yet.   She has had a few crackers but that's about it.  She nurses every 3 to 4 hours.  I don't really watch the clock I just watch for her cues
*she has the quickest temper.  She goes from zero to mad so quickly, but luckily
She only really gets mad when she is hungry or tired. 
*like her big brother, she is a thinker.  She observes situations and pays attention to everything. I feel like I can look in her eyes and see the wheels turning.
All in all, she really is the sweetest baby.  It kiss her cheeks all day long. She makes me smile all the time!
