Ella is 6 months old!

Ella had her half birthday on the 13th, this past Saturday! I cant believe shes 6 months already. Shes really trying to keep up with Olivia. Shes doing a combination army/hands and knees crawl and really working on just crawling on her hands and knees. She just has to figure out to move both hands. She will move just one hand and both knees so she ends up going in a circle!! haha Sometimes she tries so hard the she walks her feet right up underneath her and her butt is straight up in the air!! lol Shes pulling up on things, including things that are not steady enough to get up on, and doing a little bit of cruising.
Her newest thing, that she started on her 6 month birthday, is to lay her head down when we say awww....so cute!

here is yet another video of Ella :)

Ella walking...with help :)

Yep, she can walk!! Ha, with help she better not be walking yet :) She is 5 months and a week in this video. Olivia is excited about her sister walking, she has been wanting her to get up and walk since she was born! Olivia is in the background saying "Ella walk"

Ella trying to crawl

Ella is growing so fast! Shes already six months old, how is that possible? She is 5 1/2 months here.

Ella is on the move! This video is a little long but I got her trying to crawl and doing a little bit of her army crawl without her normal crying that goes with it. She really wants to get up and go but she gets so mad that she just lays there and cries. When Olivia got mad, she just tried harder determined she was going to do it, funny how they are so different!

Ella a day before her five month birthday just having fun playing

Its better

Olivia has slept better the past two nights. She has gotten up only once a night, from what we remember!! Last night we woke up to Olivia sleeping between us, we have no idea when she climbed into our bed but she went back to her bed and slept the rest of the night :)

Lets sleep....please

Tonight is the third night of keeping Olivia in her bed, in her room. The first night she was up every hour, last night was a little better as we only had to get up with her 5 times. Maybe tonight will be the night she actually sleeps THROUGH THE NIGHT?!?!

Olivia dancing and singing happy cake

One night I was sitting upstairs with the girls playing and watching TV. Olivia was messing with the computer then started dancing around the room singing "Happy cake, I want happy cake" and "princess cake." She was excited about mommy making a princess cake for her birthday! She danced around like this for a good half a hour!!
