Mama smile
We keep asking Ella, "Can you say 'mama'?" Not because we expect her to bust out some words but because she makes THIS face...every time.

Five Months Old!!!
I'm five months old today! (okay, yesterday)
So, what's new with me?
- I'm expanding my palate. I've tried rice cereal, apples, bananas, peaches and now, pears. So far, pears are the only thing that made me happy immediately...
- That and basil...
- Still no teeth, but more drool than I know what to do with.
- I went to the Children's Museum, the Aquarium and the MFA. I like the fishies the best.
- I love my Mommy, but some days, I'm a big ol' Daddy's Girl.
- Now that it's nice out, I take my puppies for walks. And now, I can sit in the stroller like a big girl!
- Mommy says my smile can light up a room.
- Oh, and according to our home scale, I'm now about 18.8 lbs, which means I'm wearing 6-9 month clothes. I make them look GOOD!
See you next month!
Love,
ella

Working Hard at PT
Most babies can chill out, but Ms. Ella has to work hard at physical therapy every week. Luckily, she's a good little worker bee...and she loves her therapist.
Spring Day!
After months of cold weather, it was finally nice enough to bring the wee one outside to play!
Every one of these posts could be captioned "SO MUCH DROOOOOOOOOL!"

Fishies!
Ella is fascinated by all things that move, so we decided that a trip to the aquarium would be a good first step in turning her into a fish like her parents. It went amazingly well - she loved it!!
Getting a good breakfast of peaches...at least whatever actually made it into her mouth.
Look - fishies!
Totally mesmerized!
Staring at the penguins
Chilling with her Daddy.

Happy Easter!
A quick visit with the Easter Bunny...
Ella handled it significantly better than the other screaming kids around us.

Four Months Old!!
Four months old already! Here are my usual photos with my sticker and paper!
What you don't see is the following:
- I'm a really good roller. I roll front-to-back and back-to-front...but only when I want to or when I'm bored with Mommy and Daddy.
- I talk... A LOT. I guess I take after my Daddy.
- I had my baptism. I wore Mommy's old dress and I yelled at the priest. It was fun. (Mommy is going to post photos of that soon, she promises.)
- On that same weekend, I got to meet Uncle Michael, Jonathan, Samantha, and Auntie Kara. I love them and wish they lived closer.
- I decided that I should help Mommy on her conference calls by contributing my thoughts, so apparently I'm going to be doing an extra half-day at day care now.
- I can hold my bottle all by myself! But, sometimes, I don't wanna...and my Daddy does it for me.
- I went to a Helping Hands outing, where I got to meet a lot of lucky fin kids like me! Some are really close in age, so we can be friends!
- Mommy calls me Baby Deathstrike because my nails are so sharp! Look what I did to my nose last night!
- I finally got my feet into my mouth! Success!!
- I grew out of my bassinet, so I sleep in my crib now. It's working out pretty well though because I'm now sleeping (mostly) from 9pm to 5/6am. Plus, I like looking at the monkeys on my wall.
- I'm kicking butt at physical therapy. Margaret told Mommy she should start child-proofing now because I do everything early so it won't be long before I'm moving all over the place!
- I'm just getting over yet another cold and I had shots today, so I'm a little cranky.
Speaking of which, I had a doctor's appointment today, so here are my stats:
- Height: 26.5 inches (98th percentile)
- Weight: 17 lbs, 9 ozs (98th percentile)
- Head Size: 46 cm (99th percentile)
The nice doctor lady put that all together, looked at her chart and told Mommy and Daddy that I'm the perfect average size...for an 8-9 month old. Oh well, I like my food and at least, I'm proportional.
The best part of the visit was that the doctor said I can start eating more than breastmilk. I got to try rice cereal today - not sure what I think of it, but it was fun to try. Mommy said I'm going to go through more clothes now for some reason...
Next week, I get to try apples - YAY!
See you in another month!
Love,
ella

My friend, Pooh Bear
Physical therapy is hard work, especially when you are really little...but Pooh Bear helps.

Baby Updates
We are due for a baby photo update and since Daddy is away on business tonight, it's a good time to put them up so that he doesn't miss her too much!
