5 Months Old

Eleanor Marie "Ellie" is 5 months old today. My little baby girl is growing up so fast. Too fast!! She is becoming a busy and bouncy baby :)

  • She has graduated to Size 2 diapers, completely fits into her 3-6 month wardrobe, and weighs roughly 14 lbs. (that is based on my home scale)

  • She continues to sleep about 10-11 hours at night. Wakes up the happiest baby!!

  • She takes 5 feedings (still exclusively breastmilk) and 3 naps during the day. 1 long nap and 2 shorter "cat naps". Yesterday, she took 2 long naps and dropped her late afternoon "cat nap".

  • She still likes to be swaddled, but most recently she has been getting out one arm.

  • She is rolling from tummy to back pretty regularly and getting soooo close to rolling from back to tummy. I think this month she will conquer that milestone :)

  • Everything she grabs goes directly into her mouth and with that comes a lot of drool. She is so strong!! I lose more hair from her pulling it out :)

This 5 month photo shoot was much more lively than months past. Ellie was very active this morning and was more focused on the "month sign" than ever before. These are just a small sampling of all the pictures I took.


{I love sticking my tongue out!!}


{Hmm..what is that? I think I want that.}


{Gotcha! Yummy paper.}

There are many more photos like this. Could not keep the paper away from Ellie. She wanted to hold on to it, eat it, crinkle it, etc.

{I am tired of taking pictures}

{Mommy, please no more. I want to play!}


{Are we done now?}


Ellie has got the cutest personality!! I am having so much fun with my girl. She is a very happy baby, loves to laugh (getting some good belly laughs) and loves to talk (in her own sweet little language). We Love You!


Happy 5 Months!!!
