Baby's Half Birthday

Our sweet Elizabeth is six months-old today! She grows and changes a little bit each day and it's hard to believe that in another six months we will celebrate her first birthday. She now weighs 16 lbs which puts her in the 65th percentile for weight and is 27 inches long which puts her in the 95th percentile for height. She's becoming more of a long and lean baby and less of a chunky monkey.
She has started to love playing Peek-a-Boo and giggles like crazy when we pop out and exclaim, "Peek-a-Boo, I see you!" She enjoys playing in her Exersaucer and stands up in it most of the time. When she's on her tummy she has started pulling her legs up under her belly, putting herself in a crawling position, but she has yet to go anywhere. She is sleeping a good 10+ hours at night now and takes 2-3 naps during the day. She likes to suck her thumb while holding on to a blankey or lovey and will often fall asleep that way. She's such a wonderfully delightful baby and we are so blessed that God chose us to be her parents!

Happy half-birthday, sweet Ella Rose!
