I completely forgot to post about how our little Ellie is just growing and changing so fast! She's eating solids these days! She's not a huge fan of rice cereal anymore however. So far we've tried green beans, peas, applesauce, pears, sweet potatoes, oh, and some oatmeal cereal. Some days are better than others, but if I've learned anything from Ellie's eating struggles before, it's "just take it one day at a time" and she's still queen of pursing her lips closed when she's done! She's eating about 6 oz. per feeding, so that's pretty good. We're trying the sippy cup, but she just likes to chew on it for now!
She's also doing the "ooh" face and will lick her lips when she's hungry. Again - getting really good at communicating! Although the little smiling girl wants attention all the time. She's mastered the smiling to be the center of attention. We took her to church yesterday and then tried Sunday school afterward and she was a good girl the whole time. She smiled and would chime in when she wanted to say something!
Scooting - YES! Ellie hasn't crawled yet, but boy she's a good scooter! She can cover some great length on the floor these days by rolling over and scooting! She can roll from her back to her belly and will go the opposite as well. She also sits up on her own very well! I don't even use the back up pillow anymore! She's also gotten very good at reaching in front of her while sitting up and then to her tummy to get the toy! The last few days, Ben and I have been in amazement because she's just growing up so fast! So expressive and becoming so mobile! She turned 10 months this week! Happy 10 month Birthday princess! Oh, and look at my cute dress I got from Gma Gramkow!
Gma & Gpa came to visit for the 4th holiday and we spent one day touring the historic stockyards! Ellie saw her 1st Texas cattle drive. Although we were a little disappointed there were only about 7 longhorn cattle in the drive. Oh well, guess it couldn't be "totally" like it used to be!
