It's been forever since I updated you on Ella Grace's growth and development - I guess some of you care. Life's moved way too fast for me since January and I've realized that I've been saying for over 12 months now that I will photo book every month of her life - haven't even started! Nor have I even made the slightest marking in her baby book - not even her birth date! Thank God for this blog so I can backtrack!
Anyway, as of 5/20 here are her stats:
Height: 30 in (50th percentile)
Weight: 20 lbs 6.5 oz (20th percentile)
Head circumference: 47 cm (90th percentile)
To sum it up, she has a big brain and is tall and thin:)
As you all know, she's all over the place and more fun than ever! We spend a lot of time outside on the weekends (when it's not raining) walking up and down the neighborhood streets.
- She loves her watermelon raincoat. When she sees it, she grabs it and demands we go outside. She usually gets her way.
- She loves Otis. Literally lays on him - which he is taking better these days.
- Loves fruit and pretty much only fruit. Oh, and string cheese.
- Is OBSESSED with books! I haven't seen anything like it. We literally read books 20-30 times each night.
- Loves water - bath, pool, you name it. We need to start taking her to our gym pool.
- Loves those big puzzles.
- Waves to everyone. Makes me so mad when they don't wave back around here - how rude!
- Is a huge talker now. New words include mama, dada, milk, wawa, "ffff" for dog, "ffff" with her finger over her lips which means "hush" to Otis when he barks, book, ball, Ella, "heeeey" (it's long and drawn out; she sounds very southern which I love), "pppsss" for please, she blows on her food when it's hot and I'm sure there are some others. She signs several things like "more" and "all done" - something school taught her.
Half of these words started coming out of her mouth in the last 2 weeks. Kind of scary to think what she'll be saying in a few months!
