6 lbs 15 oz (25%), 20 inches (75%)

9lbs 4 oz (10%), 22 1/4 inches (50%), 39 cm head circumference (50%)

4 months:
Ella : 11lbs, 8oz (25%) and was 23 1/2 inches (25%)
Hutson: 14lbs, 4 oz (50%)  and 24 1/2 inches (50%)
6 months:
Ella: 13 lbs (5%), 25 in (25%) and head circumference 41.5 (25%)
Hutson: 16lbs, 4oz (50%), 25 3/4 in (25%)

It's looking like Ella is just going to be small.  Smaller than Hutson was which surprises me.  I think her percentile decrease in the weight department comes from her constant moving.  This kid doesn't stop!  I'm thinking she might be one of those people who goes through life full force.  She doesn't seem to have the caution Hutson did at this age.  It seemed to take him a long time before he got the courage to crawl or walk or sit up.  Ella just does it.  

Some of her milestones this month:
-She's effectively crawling.  It looks a little like a traditional crawl coupled with a commando crawl.  
- She can sit up for long periods of time now. 
- She's using her voice a lot now.  She makes funny little high pitched noises when she's excited or want attention.  
-She's begun reaching for us when she wants to get picked up.  
- She smiles a really big smile when she's accomplished something new.
- She's eating banana, rice cereal, and avocado and seems to really like all three.  
- She's trying hard to get from the laying down position into the sitting position (this just started yesterday).   

A few pictures.  I haven't gotten to the dress pictures yet but hope to this weekend. 




I really think she looks a lot like Mike in the last picture.  His smile and the way her eyes are smiling.  :)

It's amazing to me how much smaller she is than Hutson. The miracle of the human body...

I think she's moving around sooner in part because she has another little person that she's trying to emulate. Mine are good--just a handful!
