This girl is trouble...

So our little Elsie girl recently turned 6 months old....here is a little about Elsie at 6 months old:
*She is DEFINITELY on the move....she has been doing the army crawl for a couple of months but in just the past few days has started REAL crawling! I can't believe she is moving so much already!!
*She is pulling herself up onto things(usually just to her knees, but today I found her standing, yes STANDING, in her crib after her morning nap!!)
*She loves to eat(who'd of thought right??)
*She is happy and giggly
*She loves Maia
*She is kind of a Momma's girl
*She grabs everything and everything goes in her mouth
*Paper has become one of her favorite foods
*Her stats are as follows:
Weight: 19 lbs. 9 oz. (94th percentile)
Length: 27 1/4 inches (96th percentile)
Head: around the 50th percentile
So not a petite, dainty thing(especially when you catch her growling), but still our little Bubby none the less! Here she is after just having finished one of her first "real" food meals: I think she liked it:)Below: the sisters getting along...when Maia saw Elsie hanging out in just a diaper, she had follow suit.
So this next picture isn't the greatest, but it is of both of them, dressed, and hair sort of done(a rare thing to have all of that at the same time)...we just had our family pictures taken (these were the girls cute outfits)...I will have some great pictures to post soon. I can't wait to see them!

And a little about Maia... This girl loves to dress, undress, dress, undress...seriously she changes her clothes multiple times a day EVERY day. I often find her wearing some interesting combinations, such as the outfit you see below. She is also kind of a fashion police around here and is quick to inform me if she thinks I don't "match" (She OBVIOUSLY has a better sense of style then me!!) And one last thing....I am doing this little co-op preschool with Maia with some of the other mom's in the neighborhood and she LOVES it. It is just 2 days a week for 2 hours but it is a nice break for me and it gives her something to look forward to every week. I am amazed at well she is coming along with her writing, etc. Here is a sample of her practicing. She wants to do "schoolwork" all the time now, it really is so cute.Just one last cute picture of Maia!

Tell Elsie I love her chubbiness! I can't wait to see her for the FIRST TIME in real life at Christmas. I am going to increase my weight lifting so I will be able to pick her up!;)

Tell Maia I love her style! You better take any fashion advice that she gives you! Maybe she and River can do fashion shows when they hang out just like we did when we were little. Did I tell you I watched some of those home videos last time I was at Mom and Dad's? HILARIOUS!!!!

Love you guys!

It must be the age with the changing! Sometimes J changes her outfits 5 times a day, it makes me crazy, but it also makes me chuckle. I can't believe how much your little girlies look like each other! What a fun time!

What cute little girls! I can't believe hoe well Maia is writing--that's awesome.

And I really missed all you girls when I saw the running picture :( Not that I would ever want to run 9.5 miles, but just all the fun talks while I panted along next to you. Thanks for making running fun for the first time in my life!
