5 months and counting...

Ella is 5 months already!
How did this...






turn into this so quickly?





This past month has been so much fun! She is growing and changing so fast sometimes I swear it is overnight!

* She weighs over 13 pounds
* She is 23 1/2 inches long


 She had her very first (and second) airplane ride and loved every minute of it...








She got to visit Washington and see Grandma and Grandpa and the rest of the fam. We had such a great time!




Her favorite song is " You are my sunshine" performed by her favorite artist....Mom! It's the best smile inducer!  




 
She loves to be a big girl and sit up in her bumbo! "OMG Mom I love it!"


All dressed up for church!


        
Little Fashionista!



She's been TEETHING! It just might be our demise. This past week has been rough to say the least.She is such a happy little piece of sunshine normally but she has been C-R-A-N-K-Y! She cries in the car, and when I set her down and let's not even talk about nap time. : / It makes me feel awful to see her feel so crumby.  But on the bright side, as you can see below teething has turned her into quite the proficient chomper. :P

                                                 

  She's been blowing bubbles and babbling ALOT




   She lovvvves bathtime!




Her and Cooper are starting to become friends. 





She loves to be with Momma. And I love to be with her! We do so many fun things together. We play and sing and dance. We go for walks outside. We cook dinner together, we clean together, we dance together, we go shopping together and have girl time together. To Ella :Dad has to work and study a lot right now so I can stay home with you and he can provide a happy life for us so you only get to see him for about a 1/2 hour to an hour a day during the week. That means most of the time it's just you and me babe! And I love it. 




But when you do see Dad you have SO MUCH FUN! 


He takes such good care of you and you love when he rocks you to sleep.



ANNNNNND drum roll please.....


She LAUGHED! Uncle Mike was the honored one to receive the treasured first giggles while him and Aunt Hannah were babysiitng. That's right,  WE MISSED IT. I am with her 99.5% of the time and I missed it! I choose to believe that she was just practicing to make sure she had it down before she showed us. :) But then again crazy Uncle Mike is pretty darn funny!















We just couldn't love her more. :)
