Mary Ellen is Five Months Old!!

Happy 5-month birthday, little one!

These months sure have flown by. Mary Ellen has made the days since July 15 so memorable and I wouldn't trade a second of these last 5 months.

Updates:

As of 12/6, she weighed 15 lbs, 2.5 oz., has the very beginnings of two front bottom teeth, and has a very large bald spot on the back of her head.


When laying on her belly, she can pull her head and chest up. She even enjoys being in this position now (this was definitely not the case a month ago).


She loves to stand (with support, of course) and is getting much better at sitting up in our laps or on the floor with support.


She is a huge fan of her Jumparoo and is even starting to take an interest in the toys that are attached to it.


Her favorite toy right now is the piano that we are borrowing from her pal Jake. Thanks, Wendy!


Her favorite pastime is hanging out with her dad.


She's no stranger to the camera.


And she's yet to meet a stranger. As her aunt Amy says, she is a social butterfly. Here's Mary Ellen and me with her Great Uncle Bob and Great Aunt Sue at her first "unofficial" trip to Disney. She enjoyed her requisite tickles from Uncle Bob and made fast friends with Sue.
