Parent Teacher Conference

I had Ella's first "Parent-Teacher Conference" on June 12. Although it's kind of hard to believe there is much structure to a 5 month's old day, our day care has a set curriculum that they follow and even though it's all play, there is a method behind it. And it's different for every baby based on how old they are. So, even the infant classroom has parent-teacher conferences.

They of course told me how great it is to have Ella in class (that was a no-brainer) and I got her very first report card.

From her report card, here are her current skills:
- sits up in chair
- supports body weight on legs
- supports self in exersaucer
- wraps fingers around objects
- shakes objects
- smiles and laughs at friends, teachers, and toys
- cooing and babbling
- very observant
- reaches for and bats at toys
- cause and effect

Here are her goals for the next 6 months:
- sitting up without assistance
- go from laying down to sitting up
- clapping
- waving
- dancing
- foods

Pretty cute, huh?

The only downside was that I got to spend an extra 1/2 hour playing with Ella there and it was sooooo hard to go back to work for the afternoon.

Here she was that morning
