Six months

Sometimes I wish I was one of those super fab, organized parents who scrapbooks, does month-to-month update photo shoots (inspired by Pinterest), and makes baby blankets, but I'm not.  At least not yet.  It's been a chaotic last couple years, but today we took a moment and celebrated this little one who turned 6 months old today.  It wasn't over cake and we didn't take pictures with a chalkboard or a tutu. (Saving that for the 1 year mark.)  It was over a couple lattes and a blueberry muffin at our favorite little coffee shop in Fallbrook.  It just so happened that Ella's six month check up fell on the day she turned 6 months old. And since it's a good 40 minute drive to Ella's doctor, we took some extra time after her appointment to celebrate a clean bill of health and the last six months.

And said "cheers" to the next six.

Happy half-year, Ms. Ella James.

You're an absolute joy.
