Ella 5 months

I figure I better post Ella's 5 month stats now because on Wednesday my little baby girl will be 6 months!  Seriously where has the time gone?!?!  Can't believe she will be half a year old.  Crazy!  
A few fun facts about Ella at 5 months: 
  • 16.5 lbs (75th percentile)... not sure about her height but she is definitely tall for her age
  • She is seriously the happiest baby in the world.  She's my little sunshine. She will "complain" when she is annoyed or wants something but that's about it.... she rarely cries.  
  • Doesn't mind her car seat now, which is a nice change 

  • Rolling all over the place!  Oh my goodness this little lady won't stay put. haha
  • On solids 2 times a day.  She loves pumpkin and sweet potato, and hates apple sauce (I think it's a little sour for her).
  • The messiest eater.  She insists on putting her hands in her mouth after every bite and/or grabbing the spoon, so food gets everywhere
  • Still breastfeeding every 4 hours during the day
  • Takes 2-3 naps a day (usually 1-2 hours long)
  • Up at 6:00am every morning.  We call her the "early bird special" haha 
  • Goes to sleep around 7:00pm
  • She is a very curious baby.  She wants to touch and taste everything!  
  • Gets distracted nursing now.  She either swats at my face or tries to grab my phone (I'm usually a facebook/ instagram stalker while I breastfeed).  
  • Thinks her daddy is hilarious.  He can always make her giggle (usually by burping in her face... gross)
  • Loves to play and splash in the bath 
  • (drum roll please)... has FINALLY started sleeping through the night as of a week ago (5 1/2 months).  She still will occasionally wake up around 3:00 but I just go into her room, put her binky in and she goes right back to sleep
  • Is very interested in her feet 
  • Doing all sorts of cooing and babbling
  • Loves to look in the mirror
  • Loves cuddling with her bunny when she takes naps





Love this little girl so much!
