Photos & Update

So, I am SUPER late on this post… she’s almost 7 months! After this post, I won’t be updating until she is 9 months…

I am drawing a blank on what to update with… She’s definitely a sweet baby girl. Very happy. All smiles lately. However, it is still hard to get a laugh out of her and it seems like Hank is really the only one who gets her going with chuckles and hearty laughs.

She’s also a “delicate flower” as Great Grandma Ruth has put it; that is, she gets into a tizzy fairly quickly if she’s uncomfortable, can’t reach something that she wants, or if you are just a little too rough with her.

A major babbler, she’s already saying “hi” and “mama”… Last Friday (Jan 11) she started making “da da,” “ba ba,” and “ya ya” sounds. She also loves to babble a string of sounds together followed by a lot of spitting/blowing raspberries. Lots of mouth exercises!

I used to get (and still get on occasion) a lot of comments from strangers in regards to Hank’s eyes when he was her age. But, oh man, I am literally BOMBARDED with comments from passersby (and cashiers) of how “striking” and “beautiful” Ellie Mae is. Even the pediatrician last week said to me “she has a very beautiful face.” Bob and I joke that she has a “Butterbody” because her body, unlike Hank’s, is all pure fat with lots of rolls / dimples. Her butt is probably the ugliest baby’s butt I have ever seen (it’s flat as a pancake, but full of ripples and dimples)! LOL.

Anyway, I don’t have much else to say so I’ll just leave you a video of her laughing (thanks to Hank’s nuttiness) and some extra photos.
