Month 5

Unfortunately, it has been awhile since I blogged. Between trying to figure out working part-time out of the house, managing, house, bills, babies, husband....and the fact due to sleep deprivation, I am going to have to forgo the weekly posts because I am losing track of what age Ellie is in weeks and go by months now.

We have had a super busy month of November. Ellie is continuing to grow and is constantly keeping Adam and I on our toes. Ellie discovered her hands and feet and has started chewing on everything. She has not quite mastered rolling over yet, but she has started scooting on her back. We will put her on her back on a blanket and then all of a sudden she is off the blanket.

Ellie took her first plane ride to visit her great nonnie and great papa for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time. Ellie did great on the plane and slept most of the time both ways. The airport employees were great as far as accomodating us which was nice considering it looked like we were traveling for 3 weeks and not 3 days! Ellie had a great time being held, loved on by all her aunts, uncles and cousins. So much so that when we came back, she still wanted to be held all the time.

Ellie has become very aware of her surroundings especially Shelby. If Shelby is around, she will follow her with her eyes which makes for an interesting feeding when I am giving her baby food. I have move to whatever direction Shelby is in.

She is babbling more often and sometimes makes the sounds dadadada, she loves grabbing things out of your hands, and has the sweetest little giggle.
