Ella is 5 months!

at 5 months Ella is:

-sitting up all by herself, we usually keep a close eye on her because sometimes she gets really excited and starts kicking and loses her balance, but besides that she is doing pretty great.
-is now eating real food! she has tried bananas and avocados and loved both and today we are trying apples! her least favorite is definitely the cereal, but thats ok, i think it tastes pretty gross too :)
-has rolled over ONE time. from her back to her front and it does not really seem like she is interested in doing it again.
-weights 14.5 lbs and is 25" long
-LOVES to smile and giggle and laugh
-still sleeps about 8 hours a night with catnaps through out the day
-LOVES tv, thankfully i got some baby mozart so at least she is watching something a little constructive while i work
-is such a happy baby - everyone comments on how happy and easy she is and we know we are so lucky to have such a good baby
-we have learned that she does not like it when people applause or loud noises (but when she is asleep she can sleep through ANYTHING)


we have such a blast with her all the time. Every day michael and i look at her and just think, dang, how did we get so lucky to end up with such an amazing baby. she is so fun! and i will post pictures soon!
