Five months old

On Tuesday, Ellie turned five months old. She's doing so much now - talking like crazy, trying to sit and stand by herself, trying to crawl. She will not roll over though!! :) She's grabbing everything and trying to put it in her mouth. As you can see below, Ellie wouldn't leave the five month old sign alone and she kept trying to eat it! I can't believe how quickly time is flying. On our next post, we'll be taking pictures from our new house!

Ellie's Baptism

Ellie was baptised last Sunday at Our Lady of the Woods Church in Woodhaven (same place Matt & I got married). It was a great day - Ellie didn't cry once!!

Look Mom, I've found my hands!

Ellie has discovered the use of her hands and is grabbing at everything! We used to be able to eat with her in our laps, those days are over!!! Mostly because everything she grabs, she puts directly in her mouth!

Yum.... cereal

About two weeks ago, we started feeding Ellie rice cereal in the evenings. Our pediatrician suggested we give her a week of rice cereal, a week of barley cereal and then a week of oatmeal. From there, we'll start with green vegetables.

As you may expect, Ellie loves the cereal and pretty much sits with her mouth open the entire time we're feeding her! She gets so excited when its time to eat, its hilarious to watch!

Our Covergirl

You may recall that Ellie had a fabulous photo session just two weeks after she was born. Recently we learned that one of the shots taken is being used on the photographers home page. It's the intro page to her website, so you can see Ellie for about the first 3o seconds!
