5 months old

Holy cannoli, our little "newborn" is 5 months old!  This little girl amazes me more and more each day.  Here is all you need to know about Miss Eleanor Marie.



Height: Tall... she is so tall! We can't accurately measure her so that will have to wait until next month's doctor appointment.
 Weight: around 15 lbs!

Here are some other updates.  It's been a big month for our sweet little lady!

  • Ellie LOVES toys.  She has acquired quite a few this month including a walker (though she's not quite tall enough to walk around in it yet), a Jenny Jump Up (she's still not sold on it), AND a stand up bouncer.  One thing you HAVE to know about Ellie is that she LOVES to be standing up.  She HAS to be standing up.  If she's not standing up, she's probably upset with you.  This kid is going to be walking in no time....
  • She is so curious and has started scratching on EVERYTHING.  It started out with her laying on her back on the changing table and she would reach her arm across and scratch the soft fabric, then the wall, then my arm.  She is soooo curious about textures.
  • Ellie has started eating solid foods once a day!   So far her favorite is organic rice cereal and mangos.
  • She's also drinking out of a sippy cup!  We have to hold it for her right now because she just started a couple of days ago, but she's already figured out how the spout works.  I'm so proud!!
  • Ellie can roll over from back to front!  Not just that, but she's figured out that she can get where she wants to go by rolling.  If you lay her down she will roll across a room!
  • She had her first bug. :(  She was sick for a few days with diarrhea (awful) and coughing and a runny nose.  She still has a runny nose and has acquired a sexy raspy voice.  Haha
  • She l.o.v.e.s. to SQUEAL!!!!   This girl has a set of lungs on her!  She just loves the sound of her own voice (no clue who she gets that from) and will babble and squeal all day long.
