Ella is 5 months old today!

Wow, another month has gone by, and Ella is now 5 months old. Amazing how quickly time flies with a little one. Ella is doing great - she's more and more smiley by the day, and really loves to use her voice. She coos and likes to squeal loudly, attracting a lot of attention when we're out. She really likes to sit up (with some help), and especially loves to stand (with support). Ella loves playing with stuffed animals now, and is also enjoying her new jumperoo. And of course, everything goes in the mouth. No teeth are popping up quite yet, but lots of drooling. We're still enjoying that cute toothless grin.
This past week Ella started at daycare. It's located at Jamus's work, so he can go by on his lunch break to spend time with her, which is really nice. It's been a little bit of an adjustment (and will continue to be) for her napping, but hopefully this will only get better. She didn't have any stranger anxiety, which I was particularly worried about. In fact, she went right to them with a big smile on her face. Each day, they send Ella home with a "report" on what activities they did, and how her mood is, etc. This is nice for us to read so we can know what she's doing, and how she's adapting. We're sure she'll soon be making lots of new friends at school!
