Today Ella is six months old or “.5″ as I like to say. She’s doing great and getting big quickly. In fact, she just went in for a follow-up last week and she is in the 90th percentile for weight and 95th height! She smiles and laughs all the time and much more than Nick or Sam did at this point. Perhaps that’s partly because she got two silly brothers to jump around and entertain her. Nick and Sam just love to make her laugh. She’s also very good at rolling over onto her tummy and often times wakes up in this position. Ella’s fascinated with everything and loves to touch and squeeze things. She particulary likes crinkling plastic graham cracker packaging and grabbing my chin or mom’s hair and earings! 
A funny point of note, when we ask Nick how old she is, he’ll say “zero”. Maybe now he’ll start saying she’s “one-half”.
Happy Half Birthday Ella!!
Here’s some pictures of her, taken today:
