The fifth month is always an interesting one. I always note the second month as the worst month because all of the sudden babies stop sleeping so much, but they aren't smiling yet. They seem grumpy most days. Well the fifth month is characterized by a jump in intelligence and mastery of the skills they've so far learned.
While Elli doesn't seem to have grown, she has definetly changed. She has stopped scrunching up so much. She still kicks her legs up and down all the time, but she likes to stretch out now, making her look longer.
She rolls around more, and sits up more. She plays with her toys now, and can pass them between her hands.
Elli has started solids, well she's been on them for over a month now. She loves them, almost too much. She will gladly eat 10oz a day, and some days we let her so she sleeps more.
She hasn't stopped falling asleep in the car quite yet, but she's getting better so we got on more outings.
She is on the same schedule as Michael most days, but takes an extra nap at night. She also goes to bed a half hour earlier and gets up a half hour earlier.
Elli is a smart little girl. She understands what is going on around her. She knows who people are and understand certain actions. Like she knows that when I clean off Michael after a meal it means we are going to go play so she gets really excited and screams.
She is one cute little thing and we love her so much! I'll leave you with some pictures!

| Prunes. I just love the mustache. |

| I don't know why she always gets this face when I try to get a picture of her smiling but she does. I don't think I have one picture of her huge smile (it's a lot like Michael's was). Maybe I should just post a pic of Michael's smile so you can see it :P |
