5 Months

Ella is five months today and I don't know where the time has gone. She is doing so much now! She is "talking" and babbling all the time and even yells. She plays on her activity mat and in the activity center for about an hour every day. She loves eating real food and gets upset when she see her bowl and you don't feed her fast enough. I am making her baby food myself. I started her out on sweet potatoes and she loves them! I introduced green beans next, but she hates them and will only eat them if I mix them in with the sweet potatoes. I have also given her prunes and avocados, which she likes. Next I will try giving her peas. We had a rough couple of weeks when she was waking up at least twice a night. I soon realized she was hungry and after nursing she went right back to sleep. Recently I also started giving her three extra bottles throughout the day to help her put on some weight. Ella goes back to the doctors on Wednesday and I'm hoping she's gained enough weight to put her back on the chart. I will keep you posted and here's a couple of pictures of Ella at 5 months!

First time seeing snow!
