5 Months Old!

Today Ellie is 5 months old! I really don't know where the time has gone, and I can't believe that she has been with us for almost half a year!

Here are some things she's been up to lately:

-eats cereal in the morning and evening (still takes 5(6-7 oz) bottles a day)
-really interested in her toys these days
-reaches out and grabs toys and can hold them for a long time
-gave us a real belly laugh the other night! (it was my favorite thing she has done so far...brought me tears of happiness!)
-can roll in one direction but really does not like to try (trying to roll the other way when she wants to get to a toy)
-practicing sitting up
-she does not like to be left alone and cries when i leave the room
-will turn her head and acknowledge you when you call her name
-prefers riding in her umbrella stroller when we go shopping now (this keeps her entertained and happy most of the time)

Some pics from today (she still likes to get serious when I pull out the camera:)
