5 MONTHS TODAY!

Shawn + I are beside ourselves... we can't believe our little baby is almost 1/2yr. old???! Everyone always said 'it goes by so fast', but now WE are experiencing it + its crazy!

We had a fun time playing @ home today! EA loves being naked, so this morning I let her squirm around a little on the floor (even though its a bit chilly in our house, in the am). She loved it as you will see... This first one is my new fav... I love her expression!

Reading her 'Farm Animals' book...

Which animal is that???! HA,HA,HA!

Elsie Anne sitting BY HERSELF, in the Boppy, for the first time!!! Yay... it only lasted 8sec, but I was so impressed!

Trying to get back up to that fun sitting position!! She also watched her first 'Nature Baby' movie! Of course she's watched tons of sports w/ Daddy, but she was really into this movie! It has beautiful music that goes along w/ the nature clip... spring, winter, summer, fall!

5 Fun EA Facts...

• she stares @ you + talks loudly to get your attention if you're not watching her! oh yes, she loves an audience!
• tubby time is her ultimate favorite! she gets so excited as you're taking her clothes off + she hears the water running... her arms flap, legs kick + her head swivels around looking for the water!!
• she now rolls both ways! she started doing it from tummy to back, but now does back to tummy much easier!
• she holds + plays w/ her toys! she can move the toy from hand to hand. its amazing watching her little brain work while she's playing!
• she gives the best open mouth kisses ever! she holds on to both sides of your head + leans in for a big smooch! it's hilarious watching her grab Shawn's beard!!
• + 1 more... she loves her rice cereal... we are doing it every other evening! she gets excited each time she sees food on the spoon coming toward her!
