Ella Bella Butter Bean is 7 months old!

In honor of Ella's 7 month B-Day today, here are 7 facts about our sweet baby that you may or may not already know about her.

1. ELLA has the cutest chubby legs with lots of dimples on them and I love it . (This is why we added the 'butter' in her nickname.) Despite all the chub, she is still rather flexible and loves to suck on her feet!
2. ELLA now wears a size 3 in diapers compared to her big sister's size 4 Cruisers. (I don't know which is more sad... that my little baby is growing so fast or that my 2 yr. old is back in diapers!)
3. Much to my dismay, ELLA is officially a thumb-sucker who prefers her left thumb. As soon as I place her in her crib, she rolls to her left side and puts her thumb in her mouth.
4. ELLA loves to watch our cat. She seems completely intrigued by the cat's graceful movements.
5. ELLA finds her big sister to be very funny. This is the look she gets when Adelyn enters the room:
6. Ella likes to babble in ya-ya's instead of the typical first ba-ba's or da-da's.
7. Ella has no interest in crawling right now. In fact, she is content lying her head down on the floor during tummy time. She can finally sit up independently for seconds at a time but is still working on mastering this milestone. She's in no hurry and I'm not sure I am either!
