5 Month Pics

Well, Ella is less than a week away from turning 6 months old, and I just realized I never posted 5 month pics.  Here are a few of our cutie.

North Carolina

Ella took her first trip and we went to North Carolina to see Matt's family at the end of September.  She surprised her Grandma for her birthday.  

She was wiped by the end of the trip after being spoiled by Grandma and Papa and after meeting both sides of Matt's family.  We also went to the Apple Festival in Matt's hometown where she saw such things as Fried Apple Pie, cloggers, and pop guns.

Firsts

Ella had her first trip to the zoo.  She slept for a lot of it and didn't really seem to notice the animals.  But boy was she cute!

She had her first plane ride and did great!  She slept for a lot of it and didn't scream at all.  Of course, everyone around us thought she was too sweet.

Visitors

We had lots of visitors in September and boy did Ella love the attention.  Her Gram and Doc came first and spoiled her rotten.

Gram and Doc even played some Wii while they were here!

Grammy and a bunch of crazy ladies came next.  Ella sure loved her some Grammy time, as did I.

Ella decided to show off her foot sucking skills for the ladies.  This is one of her favorite pass times.

October?

Hello?  October?  Where have you gone?  I absolutely cannot believe it is almost November!  The last two months have flown by!  We had several visiting Hoosiers (no offense) in September and then went to North Carolina and Florida within a week of each other.  Life's been crazy!  But good.  Lots of blogging to come!

Tons of Fun!

Ella is nearing 4 months old and we're loving all of her new "skills."  She's quite the mover and shaker right now and has started talking and laughing quite a bit.  We find ourselves commenting how we could just watch her talk all day.  Here she is after a bath.  She's starting to grab her feet and would have them in her mouth along with everything else if she could.

She hasn't quite learned the art of flirting as seen below with her boyfriend Wyatt when we all went to Keystone.

She loves stroller rides!

Ella really enjoys watching herself in the mirror.  She's so vain.  Wonder where she gets that???

Here she is working on her rolling skills.  So close!

We've got an exciting couple of months coming up.  Gram and Doc will be here next week then Grammy arrives with a bunch of crazy ladies.  In October, we'll be attempting our first plane trip.  We'll be going to Florida with Matt for a business trip then a little Vacay.  Can't wait!

3 Months Old!

Our baby girl is now three months old!  Boy is it convicting to see that the last blog we did was at 2 months.  We'll have to get on it.  She now weighs 13 lbs and 13 oz.  At our last check, she was in the 90th percentile for height and weight.  Not a tiny girl!  She has some adorable rolls that we just can't kiss enough.

We went to Keystone with our good friends, the Huffs, for the Bluegrass and Beer festival.  Ella had a great time dancing to some good music and hanging out with her boyfriend, Wyatt.  She also swam for the first time.  She wasn't too sure what to think at first but ended up enjoying herself.

She is quite a happy little girl.  She loves smiling and cooing at Mom and Dad.  She thinks we're hilarious.  We think a laugh will show up any day now.  We've been working on napping in the crib instead of only at night.  She isn't enjoying that too much.  Baby steps.  Ella is going to daycare two days a week starting tomorrow as Kate is going back to work.  We're convinced that it will be harder on us than on her.  

Life in the Johnson house is good.  The summer has flown by.  We feel like Ella changes by the day and somehow manages to get cuter and cuter.  Enjoy the rest of her three month pics.
