Ella has started eating cereal, oatmeal to be precise. The first time she seemed more into the plastic bib than anything else, the second timeshe started really opening her mouth and seemed upset when all the cereal was done, the third time she was all about the bowl and spoons. So it is going well and we look forward to introducing fruit and veggies too. Stephen had camp out overnighter on Friday and Ella woke up on Saturday morning saying Da-da..I had to call him and have him listen to her calling him over and over again...so cute.She is doubling up all the sounds now;na-na,ya-ya,ba-ba and the babbling goes on for quite a while. She is going for a drive with her Da-da now.

Happy Easter!!!

We hope that you had a wonderful day celebrating Christ's resurrection. Ella went to church in her new clothes,hung out with her daddy at Kidz Church, played some soccer in her pack and play, did a little photo shoot for mummy and then got tired of the new dress.Less clothing helped put her in a better mood and she played happily for most of the afternoon.

We have made some progress in getting Ella to bed earlier..it used to be around 10pm when she would finally fall asleep and now it's around 8:30pm. She is a good little sleeper. The first of this month marked baby's 5 month birthday and she wore a 9 month dress that fit her just right...guess they make them smaller these days!!

She is definately picking up more consonants and says 'Da' quite clearly. She surprised us last Sunday when she copied Stephen and said 'Yes'. She hasn't said it since but she does say 'this'. On Friday while I was changing her diaper, Ella reached out for my water bottle and rolled over for the first time. Looking forward to more firsts with our sweet baby girl...we will probably be introducing cereal to her diet next week; she is very interested in whatever I am eating and leans forward to take bites when I do.

Good night from the Daniel household.

P.S. Mummy , Ella is wearing a little hair band just for you.
