Ellie at 5 mths

Ellie is now 5 mths old! We can hardly believe it. Thanks to her friend Avery for sharing the adorable pink dress for Ellie's dedication. And thanks to Mimi for Ellie's dedication bling. Mimi made a couple of bracelets just for Ellie and they are adorable! Ellie is growing bigger every day and is constantly changing. She is loving her rice cereal and has now tried bananas as well. She gave a few funny faces to that at first, but has grown accustomed to them. Not sure what we'll try next.....maybe pureed peas. Mmmmm good! She also rolled over this week for the first time! She went from her back to her tummy....and then didn't know what to do next! She can't get back to her back yet, so that's the next challenge.

Here is are some pics of the family. Micah loves that Ellie and she loves him right back. Aren't they cute together? The family pic is from the Sunday of Ellie's dedication. It was a great day with lots of aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and great-grandmas there. Ellie did great and didn't cry in front of the church (which was my fear, of course!).

Ellie update

Here are a couple of new pics of Ellie. She loves her daddy and saves her best smiles for him. She also adores Micah and thinks he is the best big brother around. She is always watching him and he earns quite a few smiles as well. She is really into grabbing things and everything goes into her mouth. We can't believe that she is almost 5mths old! She just recently started rice cereal--what a messy adventure! She is ever so close to rolling over, but can't get everything to cooperate just yet. We are enjoying her more and more every day!
