chronicles of ella

today was ella's 6mo check-up.  she has had her snotty nose for 2 weeks now but we seem to be on the mend.  she weighed 16lbs., 2ozs. and was in the 50th percentile!!!!  doc was very impressed with her strength and mobility at her age.  SOOOO thankful for a healthy little girl!

on another note, as i'm driving to the doc i think to myself... "i forgot to pack an extra outfit after cleaning out her bag.  oh well, we will only be gone for an hour max and only making one stop."  so we get to her appt, do the check-up, get the shots, get ready to go and as i am zipping up her sleeper it gets caught within an inch of zipping.  i check to see if the fabric got caught, nope.  so i unzip and do it again.  still stuck.  one more time with a good yank... zips all the way up to her neck!!  BUT from her knee down to her toes the zipper is busted.  with sheer determination (hard-headedness) i give it one more try.  nope, it is just gonna be wide open from her knee to her toe on one leg.  and of course! the one time in her life i forget to pack the spare.  oh well.  we wrapped up in her blanket and headed out.  rest in peace, my favorite 3-6mo outfit! you were loved by many.
