Welcome to the Jungle Gym!

Well, the summer has ended, Aunt Susie has gone back to her day job teaching, and Ellie has started daycare. The center is downtown and right by a subway stop (same line as for our neighborhood so commuting is really easy!) Nick is dropping her off and I'll pick her up.


So far she has settled in well. We get notes from the teachers each day and they have all commented on how well she has adjusted to napping in a new crib and taking food and bottles from new people. She has even painted us a picture already!

In other Ellie news, we have added carrots, peas, and pears to her diet. She seems to really enjoy the carrots.

I love peas!!

We also had her 6-month check-up. She weighed in at 18 lbs 5.5 oz and is 27 inches long. We are still rocking the top of the charts. Her head circumference is actually above the 95th percentile. The doctor was really happy with how well Ellie is doing developmentally. She even showed off her yoga moves (cobra, downward facing dog, and happy baby poses).
