I wannabe a Super Model!

We went for Ella's 6 month check-up on Monday and she is staying long and thin! She was 27 inches and weighed 15 lbs 8 ounces. She will soon out grow her infant car seat (at 29 inches) so we are now shopping around for a new car seat. Dr. Noah also told us that Ella is perfectly capable of sleeping 10-12 hours straight through the night and not just the 8 hours she'd convinced mommy of. So the doc encouraged us to let her cry and warned it could take up to a week to settle in. Monday night Ella woke up twice, but only cried for about 30 minutes each time. Last night she slept all the way through until about 5:45 AM. Not bad, except she'd gone to bed an hour later than normal so this was her usual 4 AM wake up time. But this time she managed to yell for just a few minutes and then went back to sleep. Hopefully by this time next week ALL of the Gabels will be resting straight through the night!
