Here's our smiley FIVE MONTH OLD!!!!! This month, our sweetness has gotten so much chubbier. Her dad calls her Chubs, Chubberson and Little Chubs all the time. Eleanor is just so cute we want to eat her up! She has changed so much this month. She is still very vocal. Now she has added this growling noise that she does when she is very excited and there are lots of people around. She loves people! She loves the horses but still doesn't pay too much attention to the other animals unless a chicken Squawks loudly. Ella smiles most of the time now. Even for the camera! She is really only ever unhappy if she is tired. Then she wants her bed or else. My fault. We always know if she has had enough sleep because when she wakes up rested, she is incredibly happy and talkative. If there are any whimpers or tears, we help her back to sleep.
We spent a lot of time outside again. We went to Gracie's kickball games, went to the Haslet Rodeo, visited family, helped her daddy in the shop, played with the horses, went on walks with the neighbors, went to Briley's soccer games, had Gracie after school to play with and went shopping and sight seeing. We started our 5k's again. So Eleanor got to ride along in her stroller with her daddy. Even pushing a stroller, Aaron is very fast.
She loves to wake up and snuggle, climb and grab Daddy. She pinches his face and neck. She smiles bigger and seems so happy.
Aaron keeps saying that *this* is the baby he thought would be born. Thank goodness she wasn't this big! He says now that she is chubbier she seems a little tougher. I agree. We think she gets cuter every day, too.
We take a "Friday Picture" of Small Ferrell every week to show her growth. We chose a laundry basket to do this in because when Aaron's nephews were little they played in their mother's laundry basket. Looks like she is already outgrowing this one.
Daisy is, and has always been, very interested in this baby.
She enjoys watching Mickey Mouse in the morning. Here she is really enthralled in the show.
Her smiles, and faces in general, light me up.
On Mother's Day we visited my mom and then had Aaron's mom over for dinner.
We played at the park in between.
Here they are, watching Tangled again.
This was my blessing dress and shoes. My mother saved them for me and they are still in great condition.
She ditched the shoes. Ella is not a shoe fan.
This is why. Toes taste too good to cover them up with some silly shoes.
We got her all dolled up and took stuff outside to take pictures. She's grown so much so I wanted to capture her smallness while we still could.
Small Ferrell's 5 Month Stats:
Height: 25 1/4 inches
Weight: 14 pounds, 13 ounces
Sleeping: Longer naps than I would think but that means she's growing!
Eating: After eyeing my chips one day and then my mashed potatoes another, I gave her some mashed potatoes and she loved them. We tried some fruit and juice this month. Still working on how to eat so we just try a little every few days or so.
My Friends Call Me: No new names. All the same nicknames from before. Eleanor, Ella, Ella T-bone, Ella Bells, Ella Dove, Baby Love, Baby Monkey, Chubs, Small Ferrell, Dolly, Squeeky, Cupcake, Squeekerson, Chubberson, Sweetness.
New Discoveries: So much! Toes in mouth, toys in mouth, everything in mouth. She noticed her books more, cartoons, the horses, her stuffed animals (she really enjoys looking around her nursery,) and other children. So many changes this month!
Her Accomplishments: Turns over a lot some days, can get up on her knees, likes tummy time and can do an inch worm crawl pretty much anywhere she wants to go.
Most of her baby hair fell out the past month but her dad noticed that it is growing back quickly and very thick. Much lighter in color. She smiles, laughs, giggles, coos, jabbers and growls. She just started reaching for us from her bouncer. So sweet! She tries to give kisses now and hugs us. She is drooling so much, has swollen gums, chews on everything but still no teeth. She gets more beautiful every day.
