5 Months, XOXO Ellie

5 MONTH BEAUTY!



Hello my blogger peeps! It's been a while since I've updated you all about everything. With school and all my extra-curricular activities I've just been so busy!   The weather here has been great so we've been able to play outside a bit too.





So, here's what my day typically looks like:
5:30- my mom wakes me up for a 4 oz bottle before she goes to work
6:00m- go back to sleep for a bit
6:45am- take off for school with dad
9-10am- have breakfast (6oz bottle)
11-1140- take a nap
12:00- have lunch (puréed fruit or veggies)
12:30-2- playtime!
2-230- nap time
2:30- another 6oz bottle
2:30-4:30- playtime until mom or dad comes pick me up
5:00- dinner (more puréed fruits or veggies)and sometimes I take an hour nap
7- bath time
7:15- night cap (5 oz bottle)
7:30- nighty night. I go to sleep in my crib all night until the morning.

Busy right? I'm really getting good at rolling across the room and sometimes surprise my teachers at how fast I can do it. My mom gave me the nickname Cricket because my legs are always rubbing together like a little cricket, always moving. I can't help it that I just want to walk so bad!


So, I've been doing all sorts of new things lately. Like I had a weeklong sleepover with my friend Gabriella and her dog Sam. She was out with her parents house hunting here on Cape Cod. My parents and her parents have known each other for a long time. Our dads were stationed in Alaska together over 10 yrs ago.





A couple of weekends ago we went up and visited our friends the Pieroways.  My buddy Owen came to visit me.  He's pretty special because we share the same birthday, just a year apart! 





Niko and I were pooped from all the playing and fell asleep on Momma's lap
I also drove to a new state for the first time. We went to Rhode Island for a floor hockey tournament my dad was playing in the weekend of St.Patty's Day.  After the trip to RI I went to my very first birthday party! It was at a bowling alley and was so much fun. My friend Hailey turned 7 years old and got a ton of presents.







Now my parents are getting ready to move to New Jersey. I keep hearing on tv that a girl named Snooki is pregnant. I should let her know that I can teach her baby all about life once he or she gets here. My mom told me that she was going to be at home with me way more. I can't wait to go swimming and take mini- gym classes with her! She's going to go back to school for her Master's so I'm sure I'll have a sitter a couple times a week but it will be way better to be able to sleep in past 5:30!

Well, I hope you've enjoyed all the pictures. Next month I will be 6 months old...can you believe it?! I might get my ears pierced for my 1/2 year birthday :)

Love you guys. Until next time-

XOXO, Ellie.

Our Roly-Poly

Ellie Reese has been on a roll lately, literally.  She's been rolling all over the place.  Here are a couple of short videos of all her hard work :)  She actually rolled about 4 feet away from me today by continually rolling.  It was crazy to watch the way she got her body moving to do it.  I wish I had that on video!



And of course some pictures of our cutie......


Smiling with Dad

Waiting to go to school....I guess she was still tired that morning.

Elle-bug checking out her toe-toes.  She's getting good at pulling those socks off =)
 Next update will be her 5 month post, coming soon.  Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather.  It seems to be fantastic on both coasts right now!
