5 Months!!

Today Ellie is 5 months old! I have loved every stage, well most of the time :), but as she gets older and more interactive, I love it more and more. She is now to the point where she loves to play. She tries to put anything and everything into her mouth, and is really good at picking up things. She loves to talk and loves having the attention on her. Also, a couple of months ago she rolled for the first time. I was all excited and kept trying to make her do it again. Well, I think she forgot she could do it because she never did it again until last night. Now every time I put her on her tummy she instantly rolls over! (She has always hated tummy time.)

132 I finally started her on solids yesterday. I bought the spoons, bowls, and rice cereal a few weeks ago, but I hadn't gotten around to giving it to her. Finally yesterday I set up the little high chair and did it. It wasn't too bad. I think she liked it, but she still isn't quite sure how to eat it. Hopefully more will make it into her mouth soon.

142 I had to throw this picture in because you can see how thick her hair is getting. I love it! It is really thick, but not really long, so usually in pictures it looks like she has a little wig on.

I didn't realize how thick her hair was getting. Are her eyes blue? So cute!

I am so jealous that she has hair! Sharlie is totally in the same stage of putting everything in her mouth. She rolled over a couple times, but I think shes like Ellie and has forgotten how to do it! Ha
It seems like every stage is my favorite stage! They just get cuter and cuter.

Oh my goodness! She is beautiful!!! She looks like a little doll. I love her dark thick hair.

Okay, she totally looks just like you and yet just like Greg. I can't decide which one she resembles more. She is getting some chubby cheeks though, I just want to squeeze them. I also love the thick black hair, it's going to be so fun to style when she gets older:D

this is wrong that i haven't seen her in so long. she's growing up too fast. slow it down until i get there! maybe we should get together sunday or in the next week if that doesn't work. let me know.

ok michelle, i dont think there could possibly be a cuter baby, oh except my babies. Ha Ha. I mean she's got big chubby cheeks with dark thick hair and blue eyes. You guys better watch out when Ellie is a teenager:) If you guys ever move back down here, my boys wont be aloud to hang out with her:) LOL.

Will you and Greg have another baby and give it to me? I am NEVER going to have a baby with hair! My poor bald kids!

I love that name...Ellie! It's so cute! She is adorable. Enjoy her until she hits the terrible two's (which actually start at like 15 months) I have to live vicariously through others with little babies cuz I'm taking a little break.

Ellie is so CUTE! She's growing up too, too fast! Can't wait to see all of you on the fourth of Dec.!

Her hair is so beautiful! She's lucky she has a Mom and Dad with thick hair.
