5 Months

Miss Ellie turned 5 months on the 6th of this month! I cannot believe that she is growing so fast. It seems like just the other day we were waiting for her to be born. She is getting SO big. The other day Matt got on the scale with her and we think she weighed about 18 lbs! She is wearing 9 month clothes and there are a few 12 months that fit her too.

Here are some things we don't want to forget about you at 5 month...
~ The way you have started to hold your own bottle. You are such a big girl!
~ Your sweet slimy kisses
~ The way you have started to push yourself up with your hands and up on your tippy toes. I don't think it will be too long before you start crawling
~The sweet way you fall asleep when mommy rocks you
~ The way you love your exersaucer...Your daddy says you act like you are taking care of business when you are in there!
~How you have started to sit up...with a little support
~ The way you love to smile at everybody that talks to you
~ How you rub your sweet little eyes when you get sleepy
~ The funny faces you make when we try to feed you your baby food

The other night Matt and Ellie where laying on our bed playing and she started pulling Matt's hair. She did think too much of it until Matt started yelling, then she thought it was pretty funny! I think Matt's face is so funny in this picture. He looks like its really hurting him!


We love you so much Ellie Reese.
You are such a sweet blessing from God and we are so lucky to be your parents and watch you grow!
