5 Months!

Ellie is 5 months old! Here are some fun things that she does now in all of her five month glory:

 - Roll over to both sides, from both tummy to back and back to tummy. 

- Giggle and laugh = LOVE it!

- Giggle when tickled, especially on her tummy or on her sides. 

- Smiles all of the time. :)

- Loves to sit up, although can not do it independently yet

- Apparently, naps aren't so much fun anymore, because we are now having trouble getting her to sleep and to stay asleep. But don't worry, she DOES take naps...it is just a matter of perseverance. 

- She is noticing Bruno now, follows him when he is near.

- Manipulates toys with both hands, although not passing toy from hand to hand yet.

- Loves to "sing" and "talk". I sing to her all of the time and I am pretty sure she tries to imitate me. 

- She LOVES looking at herself in any mirror. It's adorable!

- She now takes her binky out of her mouth and CAN PUT IT BACK IN. It is AMAZING! (seriously!!)

- She makes me feel like a rock star. I love how she gives me a big smile when I am around. It's awesome!
