5 month update

I can't believe how fast the time is going. Ella just turned FIVE months old! She is growing and developing so fast its hard not to miss anything! She is able to roll from her front to her back as well as from her back to her front. Today Peg (her babysitter) caught her up on her hands and knees trying to inch forward during tummy time! Last night she completely flipped around when she was sleeping, which was surprising when I went in to get her this morning. She loves to play with her feet. She is a great eater, so far we have not found anything that she does not like. She has had carrots, peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, applesauce, pears, prunes and bananas, in addition to the oatmeal cereal that she has for breakfast and before bedtime. She is sleeping though the night without her Binky just with her "lovey" (pink stuffed animal blanket thing), sleeping from about 9pm until 7am sometimes 8! We couldn't ask for a better baby! She is talking up a storm and her new favorite thing is to blow raspberries with her tongue. Kevin and I are both getting so excited to take her to Ohio this spring, only about 6 more weeks! We can't wait for her to meet her relatives that she hasn't met yet and for those that have to see how much she has changed from 1 and 2 weeks old!
