5 months

Dear Eleanor-

You are now 5 months old! Where has the time gone? You are a mover and a shaker now! You just came back from your first trip to Florida! You were such a good baby on the plane. Everyone around us kept saying, "Wow! What a great baby!!" Mom and Dad were not quite ready for the amount of stuff we had to bring for you!! You slept okay in the portacrib, but wanted to party with your cousin Anthony at 6AM everyday! 

You tried solid food for the first time on March 31st. By the video we captured, rice cereal was like poison to you!! You screamed something terrible. While we were in Florida, we decided to try squash. You liked the squash and then we started pears. You and Anthony were funny, because as soon as one baby ate, the other one wanted to!!

You are making new discoveries everyday! You love books and get so excited when you see the pages. You have found your feel and love to grab your toes and put them in your mouth. You also are working on rolling from your tummy to your back. You tolerate tummy time a lot more and are even reaching to grab things to put in your mouth. 

You are such a happy baby. I love to walk in your room in the morning to hear you cooing and then have you look up at me with those blue eyes and give me the biggest smile. When I pick you up form daycare, you are always so happy to see mommy and again give me the biggest smile! 

You are growing so fast, and I am loving every minute of it. 

Until next month,

Love,

Mommy
