Month FIVE

Oh and the fun begins! I thought the first picture would be a good set up for the month. Your personality has really shown through this month Ella, and what a ham you are!

Yet again, we can't believe how big Ella has grown to be. Here are some of her newest for month five:

Loves being held.
In size 2-3 diapers.
Loves pulling up and standing up.
Lost ALL of her hair.
Wears 6-12 month clothes.
Can sit up by herself (until she gets too excited).
LOVES her Wheels on the Bus book.
Loves everything about Nicolas.
Wishes she could walk!
Started taking bathes in the big tub (with bubbles- which she loves).
Dunked herself in the tub (didn’t even phase her).
Eats veggies and fruit for lunch and dinner and still takes 6 oz bottles in-between feedings.
Likes to sleep on her right side right with her face up against the bumper pads (totally her choice).
Sleeps in her crib from 9:00PM – 8:00AM.
Busy, busy, busy. Always looking and wanting to touch things.
Likes pulling her pan off her play kitchen stove – over and over. She thinks she’s pretty neat.
Still has to have her pluggie to fall asleep.
Doesn’t like getting her clothes or diaper changed. You have to be quick!
Laughing independently, instead of having to tickle her, ect…
Understands the sign for ‘bottle’ (we have a couple baby sign language words we do with her.)

And lastly...She arches her back when she wants out of her seat or wants to stand up. (see pictures for example)

She’s been our little sunshine through this cold and gloomy winter month!
