It's so hard

It's just so hard being little :)

Gymnastics

Ellie had her first gymnastics class last night and she loved it.

She wore her leotard all day long and kept telling me she was ready to go do flips.

And flips she did!

I wasn't really sure what all they would do being so little but they did flip and stretch and jump and balance....which is all lots of fun for Ellie!

Zoo day

Since it was such a beautiful spring like day yesterday we went to the zoo.

It had been a while since Ellie had been and I knew she would LOVE all the animals and of course I was right :)

She has started telling me she is scared so whenever she heard a loud noise she would jump and her eyes would get huge and she would say " I scared!!! Hold you me!!"

The new giraffe encounter is really cool and we sat there for a while and watched the giraffes and ostriches or big chickens as Ellie called them! 

Sweet Annie was just her same sweet self and enjoyed the day out too. I know in a few short months she will have lots to say about the animals. I cannot wait to seen what comes out of her mouth :)

5 months

I simply cannot believe that 5 months ago my sweet Annie Morgan came into this world.

Where does time go???

She is such a sweet, sweet baby and just melts my heart every day.

Here are some things we love about you and want to remember for ever at 5 months old

- Your sweet, beautiful smile. You just cannot help smiling. It lights up your whole face and makes everybody around you smile too.

- How you love to roll. As soon as we lay you down on the floor you automatically roll over. You do not like being on your tummy but now you know how to roll back over. Such a big girl!

- How your favorite song is "Ice, Ice Baby" :) Thanks to Mawmaw....we know how to make you happy in the car!

- How you have started to babble. It is just so sweet. I could hear your sweet voice talk all.day.long. 

- The sweet rolls all the way down your legs....they are the cutest.

- How you look when you sleep....just like a beautiful angel.

- How little and sweet your sweet baby hands and feet are. I could just eat them up.

Our sweet, beautiful Annie...your are so precious to us. We love you more than you will ever know.

Happy 5 months!!!

Homemade Pizza

For Christmas I got a bread machine and a new baking stone...so I have really been wanting to try some pizza. I was so excited to be able to make my own dough. And it turned out really good too!

I thought it looked pretty and colorful so I took a picture :)

Big Girl Bed

I had no plans whatsoever to move Ellie from her crib into a toddler bed anytime soon.

She slept great in her crib...Only climbed out once and told me over and over that she would never do that again because it scared her. So my plans were to keep her in the crib....forever. Haha! 

Not really but at least a little while longer ...but little missy had other plans.

She told me one day that she wanted to sleep in a big girl bed. I told her we would talk about it thinking she would forget about it but of course my little persistent girl didn't forget about it. 

She mentioned it a few more times throughout the day. So the very next day she got what she wanted...a big girl bed! She has done great with it. I told her she could not get out of it unless mommy or daddy were there to help...and surprisingly she has listened and not attempted to get out once! I cannot believe it. When I go in to check on her she is always all snuggled up with her head all snuggled down in the covers. It is so sweet. 

Let's Roll

As of TODAY, sweet baby girl is rolling both ways!!!

She has been rolling back to stomach for a few weeks now but could not figure out how to roll stomach to back but today ( according to Mamaw) she did it!

Matt said he thinks she will be crawling next month...but I have my doubts.

Or maybe I am just in denial :)
