MISS ELLY...Celebrates Her 6 Month Birthday

Guess what? My little angel turns 6 months today!!! We're having a mini birthday party for her. And because many, many of you have asked for pics of my baby girl, today's post is all about her.

Elly was born in March, on the night of the 11th and these 6 months couldn't have gone by faster. It's amazing to see her grow up right before our eyes. From one week to the next, we notice such a change in the things she can manage to do.When I consider those first few days with her and what life currently is like with Elly around, there is a huge difference. Even just her sleeping has improved! 6 months is a big deal for me and I can't wait to see her become more and more herself.

Milestones
Apart from those that I mentioned in last month's Midweek Reflections, these are some of the milestones Elly has achieved.

She now knows what she likes and will show you very clearly that she isn't interested in something if she dislikes it.
She recognizes people in the house, has her favourites although, as long as she gets the amount of attention that she wants, she doesn't mind who is carrying her.
Colour! Babies love colour! Even just what you're wearing can make her more or less interested in you. And shiny things!
She started sitting without support and can now be left to entertain herself for short periods of time.
She has her favourite toy and even recognizes what is hers.
She is one happy baby. She laughs quite easily and instantly brightens the mood wherever she is. And is very naughty. She has the cheekiest smile when she does something naughty. One of her favorite games is to get hold of books or newspapers and tear the pages.
She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth so I have to be extra vigilant to keep small objects away from her and ensure that her toys are always clean to prevent stomach bugs.
When you read to her she calms down enough to listen to your voice and admire the colours in the book. She also likes it when we sing to her.
She's an outdoorsy girl. Even just sitting outside, basking in the sun for 10 minutes makes her more relaxed. Her favourite moments are her Sunday outings which started right when she was born.
Today I start weaning her. I'll give you a breakdown of what I am feeding her as we go along.

On behalf of Elly's dad and myself, I would like to say a big thank you to all of you for all your support as we go through this new adventure in our lives.

God bless you all!

Happy Thursday!

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue. I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me. On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

What I wore: Light florals

Happy new month! I went clothes shopping earlier this year and made sure to buy dresses that weren't black. I love black dresses but lately I've been craving a little more colour in my wardrobe. Florals and lighter colours are always a great idea when its warmer. When you think summer, you automatically think of light breezy fabrics and flowers in bloom. This is what this dress represents for me. I loved the light blue colour and the tie-waist which mean I can wear it through all my weight fluctuations (I tend to lose and put on weight quite frequently). Keeping to the light colour theme, I paired the dress with some light coloured sneakers. Thank you for stopping by.

What I wore: Feminine silhouettes

Over the years, I've noticed that my personal style has evolved. Apart from my preference for comfort, I've learned to love more feminine pieces, so much so that I now prefer dresses over trousers. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is blistering hot right now and just the thought of putting on a constricting pair of jeans at the moment makes me feel like I will melt. Or, I've been influenced, haha! You see, baby girl loves herself a dress or two. So she might have had a hand in getting me to wear more dresses than trousers. Anyway, my preferred silhouette when it comes to dresses is bodycon or a-line/skater-style. They're super easy to style, in formal or casual shoes, and can be worn for every occasion from the office, to lunch with the girls to a night out. This dress checks all those boxes. Although I tend to wear it for smarter functions, I can see myself dressing it down should the need arise. I'd like to say that styling it like a skirt like I did he...
