PEAS, please!

 

We have been cautious with the foods we have given Ella. Each week she has been tasting a new food while we observe that there are no allergic reactions. So far so good. At this point Ella has had rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes (those were interesting going in and out), bananas, apples, and pears. we were busy for awhile and didn't give her any new foods until yesterday when i went shopping. i bought her all sorts of vegetables. i didn't know how she would respond after all of the sweet fruits but she was enthusiastic.

6 months old

 

Ella is six months old already. Carl took this photo a few days ago. he ran for the camera because Ella was sitting up on her own and Carl thought she was looking particularly cute at that moment. i thought it was a perfect photo to show off her personality. Ella has been a joy. she hasn't been a fussy baby, well, until recently. She has her two bottom teeth coming in and she's at an age that she starts to show more attachment issues (according to the books we read). it's funny. when we leave the room she just freaks out and if we are in the room we must stay close to her. we don't need to be playing with her but we need to be close by so she doesn't feel abandoned.

i am able to put photos online again. Junior was up for the weekend and he made the computer work again. i just love that brother of mine.
