6 Months

Wow. Where has the time gone? I can't believe Ellie is already 6 months old! It's crazy! Ellie is now sitting up, rolling everywhere and eating lots and lots. No teeth yet, but she drools on everything. She is still the happiest and most chill baby I've ever seen. She is so pleasant to be around, I just can't get enough of her! She spoils us rotten! Ellie adores her big brother Boston. Her face lights up whenever he walks in the room. He thinks she is pretty hilarious too, even when she's not doing anything. He'll be laughing so hard he is crying, and I'll look over at her and she is asleep. He's probably just crazy ;-) But they are so cute to watch! Boston calls her sweetheart, and when she cries, he'll yell from wherever he is 'I'm coming Ellie, I'm coming baby!' SO cute. 
Ellie is rolling so much we stopped swaddling her about a month ago. She likes to sleep on her side or her tummy. She sits up pretty good on her own, but still really wobbly. She likes all her baby food except turkey and real mashed potatoes. We mashed some up, mixed them with breastmilk and she shuddered and gagged, haha. We love our little Elliebean!

5 Months Old

Happy 5 month Birthday Ellie! You are getting so chubby! You love to eat...seriously, I feel like all you do is eat right now. I left for youth conference this past weekend, and came back to find you pretty much twice the size as when I left! Ok, maybe not, but I feel like you grew a ton in just a few days!
We were camping when you turned 5 months, but I made sure to remember this time, and got a few cute pictures. You have started eating a few other things other than rice cereal, we tried some pears, squash and beans. (Mostly because you are always hungry, and I can't keep up with you!) Baby food veggies are just gross. But you eat them!
You are rolling all over the place. Its almost like you're crawling because you are so mobile, you just roll where you want to go. Yikes! I don't know if i'm ready for two mobile kids.
