Well as always it has been a while since I have blogged so here is what has been going on. Our little Elliette is now almost 8 months old and at her last appointment (6 mo) she weighed in at 15.2 pounds and was 26 inches long.
I can't believe how big she is getting, it blows me away every day. She still grins and giggles constantly and knows what to do to get you to tickle her if she is in the mood to be tickled. She is such a little mover, she doesn't crawl yet but she rolls all over and if she is holding on to you she will walk all over the place. She is pulling herself up to standing all the time because that is what we do and she likes to act like us.
Elliette also loves animals, we took her to the Hogle Zoo a few times (once with my family and once with Justins) and she loved it both times. We actually had to pry her little hands off the bars around the giraffes so we could move on and see the other animals. After the first trip to the zoo we bought her a pair of sunglasses so that we could go outside a little easier and she LOVES them. I put them on her the day I bought them and she wore them all day long indoors and out. It is funny though because everyone that sees her has to comment on the baby in sunglasses.
She was hating baths for a while and wouldn't put any part of her body in the water that didn't have to be at the moment so we started having swim parties where we would all get into bathing
suits and play in the big jetted tub. It seems to have helped because she really likes her baths now and even really enjoys the shower.
