Ella is 5 months old!

Ella is now 5 months old!

Here are this month's stats:

Nicknames: E, Ella Bella, Ella Bee, Sissy

Likes: Her big sister : ), waking up, sitting in the Bumbo chair, eating solids, splashing in the tub, chewing on anything and everything, laughing and squealing!
Dislikes: being left by herself, being laid down for a nap, dropping a toy out of reach

Milestones: Ella is eating veggies now! She likes carrots, peas, squash and sweet potatoes. She has also found her voice and loves to squeal with delight, laugh, and "talk" back and forth with Mama, Daddy and Lia. She also went swimming for the first time and had lots of fun.
Feeding: We are doing veggies twice a day now! She has a 2.5 oz serving breakfast and two servings for supper, then she also has 4 bottles a day, usually about 6 oz. each of Similac Soy formula.

Sleeping: She has been sleeping longer lately since the ammoxicillin kicked in and her ear infection seems to be a thing of the past. She actually broke a record this week, sleeping from 7:00 pm to 6:45 am!

Behavior: Ella is such a happy baby! She has the most infectious smile and she gives it freely : ) She is so adorable squealing and talking. You can tell she is very excited to show off that new skill!

Clothes: 6-9 months

Favorite Moments: Mimi came out to visit last week and got to spend some great quality one on one time with Ella while Lia was at school. They had the best time hugging and kissing and laughing and snuggling!!

Looking Forward To: Sitting up alone...

The 5 month comparison:

Look how much Lia has grown up! She's a great big sister, and Ella loves her so much!
