Grandpa Bill stopped by on his way home from UCSB last Friday evening. He brought Elle a UCSB outfit! He also brought a UCSB pink sweatshirt but I haven't taken a picture of Elle in it yet. She has been wearing it on all her walks! Perfect timing--she just outgrew her last hoodie. Here she is Saturday morning. Maybe she'll be a Gaucho like her parents (and Grandpa, and second cousin...). Doesn't she look tired?
Casey and I picked up our new BOB jogger stroller last week and it is AMAZING. My walks have doubled. It's all-terrain and it's so nice to have such a smooth ride. Plus, I'm pretty sure Elle loves it too. Casey, Elle, and I took a 2 hour walk on Saturday. Elle then had some fun "riding" her horse Marley.

Elle had her 6-month well-baby doctor's appointment on Monday. While driving to her Pediatrician, we heard a grunt from the backseat, a cry out, followed by stink...then silence. Elle had pooped. Almost unsurprisingly, when we took her out of her carseat, it had exploded out of her pants. Casey carried her with a burp cloth over her butt so he wouldn't get poop juiced. However, when we got to our Pediatrician's office, we discovered that they had MOVED LOCATIONS. Thanks for the heads up! Anyway, we were a little ticked off and Casey had the pleasure of changing Elle's poopie diaper/pants in the hallway. We drove across town to their new location and took Elle to the doctor without pants. She didn't seem to mind. Elle now weighs 19 lbs 1 oz and is 28 inches long (!). She is as big as a 10 month old! Big girl. Our Pediatrician was impressed with her ability to sit-up unassisted and her balance. He said about 25% of 6-month olds are able to do so...and she isn't even 6 months yet! That's our girl! Elle got her last round of vaccinations. I was so impressed! Not only was she SUPER tired because her 9:00 AM appointment was now taking place at 10:30 because of their surprise relocation but she was also hungry. She took the shots like a champ. Casey and I waved her favorite toys (her magic wand) in front of her face to distract her. She cried pretty hard but I picked her up and she was fine. We took a little video of pantsless Elle on the pony while waiting for the doctor.
I picked up a Beaba baby food maker earlier today with Elle. I can't wait to use it! What a fun new fad. We had some avocados laying around so Casey and I decided to feed Elle her "first" official solid tonight. Technically, its #3 on the list our doctor gave us but whatever. She can enjoy squash and sweet potato this weekend once I have the Beaba up and running. She loved it! She tried feeding it to herself and was an overall mess. So much fun! Here are some highlights...
