5 Months!

Ellie has certainly gotten more interactive this last month! She loves to 'talk' - to herself, other babies, and just about anyone that'll talk back! She's also taken a new liking to her feet and is constantly grabbing for them. She's become much more predictable (and good!) in her nighttime sleep, but still fights naps every now and then. She loves stroller rides, the Exersaucer, standing up, rolling around on the floor, patty-cake, reading books before bedtime, and bouncing around on Daddy's knee. She's started giggling a little and definately has her ticklish spots! We're starting to dabble in solid foods a bit, but still spitting out more than what's going down yet. She wasn't so sure about it at first (made some pretty funny faces) but has been more receptive each day. It's just been 'practice' with the spoon this past week more than anything. In general, Ellie is a very happy and smiley baby - we're very lucky!
