Ellie lately

For some reason pics won't upload right now...soon
-Ellie loves her Elmo backpack & she loves playing peek a boo. Every night at dinner she says "where's daddy?" so then nate hides his eyes with his hands, then when he removes his hands she says "peek a boo!" then it's mommy's turn and then Ellie's turn. Seriously, every night!
-She looked like a midget in her snow clothes!
-She loves playing on our bed
-She's knew to play dough, but seems to get the hang of it
-Ellie hasn't watched any tv/movies in a month! She is doing great with it too, and we love the lack of whining about the tv
-Ellie was feverish and very somnolent for one day at the beginning of March. Fortunately, it passed quickly and we got to cuddle with her a lot
-She loves wearing my apron. One night for dinner I had her clean the potatoes while standing on a chair at the kitchen sink wearing my apron. Several times later during the week she grabbed the bag of potatoes, grabbed my apron and started to push the chair to the sink!
-Ellie loves kissing Addie on the head and rubbing her hands on her head and saying "soft."
-She also gets annoyed sometimes when Addie's feet will touch her. I can just hear it now "mom, she's touching me!" I'm sure they'll be best friends!
-Ellie loves saying that everything is "heavy." Nate and I sat on the couch and heard her saying "It's so heavy" as she dragged her 4 1/2 foot bear out from her room! But even something small she will say is heavy.

Addie 5 months









-loves eating her feet and gnawing on her fingers
-can roll from her back to her belly, has maybe gone from her belly to her back one time
-cries when we leave the room
-loves smiling at Ellie, loves watching Ellie, LOVES ELLIE!
-loves grabbing anything and everything with her hands. Boy she has really long fingers. Future piano player?!
-has been sleeping a lot longer than her typical 3 hours at a time. Like a lot longer. She has been going to bed around 6pm, up around 9 or 10pm to eat and then not up again until 7am. That's happened a few times, but she's consistently sleeping about 5-7 hours during the middle of the night. LOVELY!
