Happy 5 month Birthday, Ellie!

Five months already! This child is such a trooper. We have been in our permanent home for almost a month now and she is still happy, excited and sweet. She has begun to blow bubbles and eat rice cereal (usually at the same time) and she loves discovering toys in her exersaucer. We're realizing that she's a definite people person and really enjoys being around us and seeing her big sis. What fun she is! We're still working on the sleeping through the night issues, but as for now she goes (consistently) 6-8 hrs without waking and still feeds only once between 7 and 7. Wahoo! Way to go, Ellie. And I think this is the first month in your life that you've gone without sleeping in a closet. Congratulations, Ellie! We love you. :)
Ellie and Grandpa

Turning on the charm for Uncle Evan...or not.


Loving our new beach lifestyle here in CA. Actually, Ellie loves being in the Bjorn while on the beach. She never complains and is so relaxed as we walk up and down. There's definitely some beach-loving-blood in her, right Gram?

Two of her favorite things: drooling and smiling.

Congrats, Ellie, 5 months and still charming the folks. You've been such a traveler since you were born it's good to hear you are settling down in one place! The photos are great and we had such a great time helping set up the household. Thanks for inviting us! The picture of Ellie in her exersaucer looks like she has a jellyfish stuck to her head. Although I thought they were purple! Ha! Great picts! Much love.
