Ms. Ellie is 7 months old! I just can't believe it. She gets bigger and sweeter every day, and she gets a new nickname each month ha. This month is Ellie Bells! She's starting to get her own little personality and is doing so much more each month as she edges closer to her first birthday! She is so different from each of her older 3 sisters that she continues to keep us guessing and questioning our parenting skills. Here's a few facts about your 7th month.

~This is about how pictures went. She is not crawling but she is rolling like crazy all over the place.

~ Weight 18lbs (60th percentile)
~ Wearing 6 month clothes with a few 9 month things thrown in there.
~ Size 2 shoes, when she actually wears shoes.

~ Sitting up like a champ until she gets tired or tipped over by a big sister

~ You love to smile and take pictures! (photo cred. Uncle Josh)

~ Hates being swaddled and kind of hates sleeping all together except in short spurts. Naps 3-4 times a day still but wakes up several times a night unless she is sleeping with mamma. (It's a work in progress)

~ You now sit in a cart and high chair when we go places if you are awake and you love seeing whats going on and watching those crazy sisters of yours.

~ You sleep pretty well still when we are out and about doing things.

~ You got to hang with your two besties while your moms all shopped together.
We loved having your friend Aubrey here!

~ You love love love to eat!!! So far you've tried bananas, sweet potatoes, crackers and a few table foods!

~ You smile even minutes after being attacked by a princess castle
~ Your once very thick hair has really thinned out and now we have a cute Elvis swoop on top.
~ You always want to be where the people are and never alone.

~ You love the water, especially splashing around in a warm bathtub

~ Your sisters are your number one entertainment and you LOVE their attention (until they drop you on your head)

~ You've become my running buddy even though I am not convinced you actually love it yet. You would prefer for mommy to be holding you at all times.

Ms. Ellie Bells you are certainly loved more than we ever thought possible for sweet baby girl number 4! We absolutley love having 4 little girls to dote on and enjoy everyday! This next month brings a huge change to our family as we send biggest sister Hadley to kindergarten and only have the three younger ones at home with mom all day. Excited to see if you master crawling this month and all the other exciting things! Love you sweet girl to the moon and back!
