Since the weather has been so awesome, upper 60's, we opted to do things a little differently this time around, and go with a Fall theme. We decided to take Ella's 5 month pictures at Grandma's house with all the leaves, and of course Grandma was more than willing to have little Ella come and visit.
There were so many noises and things going on around her that it was challenging to get her to look at me and smile. "Daddy, I've done this before, the guy next door blowing his leaves is so much more interesting"
It was a little easier to get her to smile when Mommy or Grandma was there to do goofy things and keep her attention.
What beautiful girls....
Thanks Grandma for letting us use your leaves....
Ella's getting much better at sitting up on her own now, she needs very little support. She likes to sit on the floor and play (eat) her toys and books. During tummy time, she holds her head of high. she seems to have pretty good strength now.
Still no rolling yet, she has all the steps, I think she just chooses not to roll. I think she would rather contort her body like a pretzel in order to see what's going on behind her, than just roll over.
When we finally roll her over, her legs are kickin and goin, I think she's going to crawl before she finally rolls over.
At 5 months, Ella has 2 teeth coming in on the bottom. She just loves to stick everything in her mouth. If she can get her hands on it, it's going in her mouth.
She eats her cereal like a champ now, she no longer needs to use her thumbs to swallow it down. I think eating is her favorite time..... She's going to fit right in.. ;)
This was from Ella's Baptism the week before, This girl is just too much.
