5 Months!!!

This girl is 5 months old now. She is doing all kinds of things now like rolling, army crawling, laughing, mimicking, and cooing! She is such a happy baby and smiles so much. She loves to go places and see new things, she's just such a busy baby. She continuously melts our hearts with each smile and laugh. We are so blessed to have such a happy healthy little gal.

Ryan's parents came to visit this week. Ellie had lots of fun playing with them and they were even lucky enough to babysit a few times while I was at work! Ellie hit a big milestone while they were here too. She started mimicking! Here's a video of the first time...

 

 

 

 

Welcome Fall!

Fall is finally here and I couldn't be happier. This is my absolute most favorite time of year. We were able to spend a little time together this weekend and we had lots of fun going to the Farmers Market and to Oktoberfest. Something bout this time of year that makes us want to get out do things! Maybe it's cause it's just not so dang hot anymore. Anyways, we had a lot of fun!

 

Ellie has been rolling and trying to army crawl like crazy! I had her on her blanket in the middle of the room and I walked away for not even a whole minute and I came back to find her like this! She was so entrigued by the curtains.

 

 

Ellie has also become fasinated with Recon and Ember. She really likes to watch them and she reaches out to pet them too. It's pretty cute.

 



St George and other Shenanagins

 

For the holiday weekend we got to get out of town and go with our cousins Maddi and Michon to their beautiful home in St. George (courtesy of my Aunt Mill and Uncle Chuck)! We had so much fun just chillin, playing in their new pool and eating delicious food.

 

We got Ellie this awesome floaty and she loved it! She pretty much just chilled in it lookin like a little baby mob boss.

 

Ellie and Ryan have been getting quite close when I'm gone on the weekends. I'm so glad that they can have such great bonding time...

Even when it results in me getting texts with pics like this.

Although Ryan is color blind, I did give him a lesson in matching when I got home.
