Emotional Connection

You all know how goofy Jared is - I don't need to tell you that. But today, he's playing with Ellie and proceeds to say "This is a physical representation of our emotional connection now and for forever." What a corny daddy.

Special Moment

Yes, I know yesterday was Mother's day, but this was just too cute not to share. Grandpa and Ellie had a special moment together - a shared smile. LOVE it.

Toes

Ellie found her feet a long time ago, but just recently, she figured out that they reach her mouth. Its quite a sight when she sticks not just one toe, but ALL FIVE in her mouth! Oh silly girl.

Jump!

Two Sundays ago we got Ellie a jumper in hopes that she would use it to strengthen her little leg muscles. She hasn't had much luck with the exersaucer since she isn't heavy enough to get it to bounce. Well she still hasn't really jumped in it, but uses her legs to spin herself around. She really has fun!

Laughing

Well so far Ellie has decided that she doesn't want to roll over today. But we got this super cute video of her laughing. Enjoy!

Milestones

Well Ellie has accomplished a new feat! She can roll over from belly to back. We were practicing a lot last night and she was getting sooo close. And then today - voila! We clapped and said "YEA Ellie" and she got really excited too, smiling and giggling for us.

Another special milestone - we finally graduated to size 2 diapers. She needs the length up the back and front more than the width. Most size 2 diapers say that the baby wears these at approx. 14 lbs. That would be great if Ellie finally gained that weight. But let me tell you, she still is not big. Guess we will find out in two weeks at her 6 month check up.

Finally but not least - Ellie has found her voice. She screams (in a happy way) and jabbers "mama mama mama...." A LOT! Super cute!

We are working on getting some videos up on the blog, but having some issues with our video camera battery. Get them up soon.
