Does Ellie look like her Mama?

I recently borrowed an album of photos from my parents to compare myself to Ellie. There are many photos where we look very similar. Now I need to find photos of Brad to see if Ellie resembles him as well.

Here's one of me and Ellie:

This month we had a visit from the Pizzelanti family. We spent some time at the pool, went to a nice dinner and watched planes take off from the BWI Airport Park.

Ellie sometimes blows raspberries when she's eating her rice cereal. This makes for a big mess, but babies are supposed to make big messes, right? It's actually pretty funny.

We took another trip to a zoo this month; this time in Wilmington, Delaware with Anne. Ellie was wonderful for the car ride (two hours each way) to and from Anne's house. I was a bit worried about the drive since I was going solo with Ellie, and there have been times lately when she wants nothing to do with the car.

A couple more pictures just for fun!

5 months already?!?!

So at 5 months Ellie can now roll over from her tummy to back (especially since she hates tummy time!) eat rice cereal and applesauce, giggle, and sit up! There are a few things she has not mastered yet... sleeping through the night, falling sleep on her own... but we're working on these. Ellie tried the swing at the park for the first time, and she seemed to enjoy it, but still may be a bit small.
