5 months!

Our little girl is so big!

This month is making us realize she soon won't be a baby anymore! She can now sit on your hip supporting herself.  Her favorite handles unfortunately are Crystal's hair and Mac's lower lip. Painful.

Elliot has taken a hiatus from rolling.  She had a few rolls back in August but none since.   She goes to her sides all the time and now likes doing push ups to see the world.  We aren't worried, rolling will happen in time. It seems like she starts to roll and then get distracted by her toes and forgets to finish the roll.

She is getting more and more vocal.  Some days she is silent and other days she is babbling up a storm! With a little optimistic interpretation by loving parents - we swear that she is talking to us.

Her favorite toy by far is her toes!  She is constantly leaning over from sitting or standing to find her toes!  I now understand more the "happy baby" yoga pose.  Elli can kinda sit....she can lean forward on her hands and not fall over.  Most of the time this is motivated by.... You guessed it, her toes!  The first time she did this was in the back of our campervan on our road trip.

We had one miraculous night of eleven hours of sleep straight!  Unfortunately that was only one night.  It has been very variable this month.

This month it feels like she became a real person with opinions and all.  She is definitely recognizing mom and dad.  She even puts her arms out to be picked up!  I tried to put a nuk in her mouth the other day and she literally turned her head and spit it out, then slammed her mouth shut tight... Ok then!

Elli  definitely has an interest in food!  She grabs for everything on the table.  At dinner in the airport I warned Mac that she had her eye on his glass of water....5 minutes later, said glass of water got pulled onto his lap 😳.  There is nothing like flying with a wet butt!


Elli likes....
- her toes!
-hiking!
-looking at and touching leaves
- her music together CD
-petting the dogs


Elli dislikes
-when someone leaves the room
-going to sleep

New developments
-sitting up in a tripod position
-passing objects back and forth
- reaching for food

I know, I know, too many pictures...but I just couldn't pick!


Take this dang bow off my head!  I don't care that I am bald!



Toes are the best thing ever!





Fingers are pretty good too.
