Ella is 5 months old now and has many new talents! Her favorite thing to do is play with her feet! She can get them in her mouth too, and she will tell you all about it. She talks a lot more and has started squealing. It is soooooo cute!
She has become quite a mover in her crib. Ella is very curious about this toy. She likes to watch it and play with it. I have been woken many times to the music playing through the baby monitor. Sometimes she accidentally hits the play button in her sleep. It's funny!
Ella enjoys sitting on the sofa now. Most of the time she doesn't fall over. Look at this talent, she's able to balance and sit up while eating her foot. Aren't you impressed???
Starting cereal was a real treat. This was her first time having it. As you can tell in the picture, she wasn't quite ready. After this feeding, we waited a week and tried again. Now she is doing great! She opens her mouth like a little bird before I get there with the spoon. It's so sweet.
Ella still poses for the camera. And much to her Daddy's dismay, she still loves to be naked! I love to see those beautiful eyes stare back at me!
Lucky for me, my touch still comforts her. We love to cuddle. 
Yes she still makes her funny faces! I capture them unintentionally every now and then. It makes me laugh when I see the pictures. She loves this jumpy seat! She jumps, bounces, squeals, and chews on the toys when we put her in it. It's hilarious!
I cannot remember the exact dates of some of her "firsts", but I can remember the exact date she started consistently sleeping through the night! It was February 16th. I still obsessively check on her, so am I getting more sleep? Probably not. Okay maybe a little. I love to see her sleep like this-so cute!
And yes, sometimes we still sleep together. No lectures from the professional moms! We only do it once or twice a week. Most of the time it is at nap time or when she won't go back to sleep after waking up at 2:00 in the morning. Besides how can I resist?
Our next milestone-sitting up. She is doing great! She still loses her balance and falls. I try to catch her most of the time since we have hardwood floors. She's all grown up! She's still our little peanut! At 5 months old, Ella still mostly wears 3 month old clothes and a few 3-6 months. However, she looks much bigger and feels heavier to me. Watching her grow and change is so rewarding. We cherish every minute of it! Does she have her Daddy wrapped? Of course, but Mommy, too! :0)

i'm so jealous. chloe won't sleep with us. she thinks it's playtime if i put her in our bed. ella looks so cute sitting up. i can't believe she is already 5 months old.
I love your little updates. I think this age is so fun! Ella is a little one! Can't wait to see you over Spring Break. I hope you don't mind...I gave Jessica B. the link to your blog.
don't feel bad, gracie slept with us forever. I didn't even put her in her room until after 6 months. She sleeps fine by herself now!
i would like to take back what i said about being jealous. chloe actually slept with us the other night. it was awful! i couldn't get comfortable and she kept kicking me in the stomach. steve slept like a log, which is odd for him.
