Elliana's 5 month photoshoot by Anna Carol Fancher

On Sunday, our friend Anna Carol offered to take some pictures of our family at the Children's Garden in Columbia. Of course Ellie's main interest was in eating her dress, but we managed to get a few smiles out of her with much exertion on our part :) We made noises and spoke in voices we never knew existed :) By the end of the photoshoot, Ellie was getting rather fussy so Jess held her in her arms and within 3 seconds she conked out.... Being pretty is hard work!

Elliana's first "solid" food.

Yesterday we served Ellie her first "solid" meal. Rice cereal.... Yummy!!! I think more of the cereal ended up on her bib than in her mouth :)

The Tongue

For a few days Elliana was sticking out her tongue whenever she was happy. Ellie needs to learn a few manners :)

See how high I can jump....

Ellie has definitely enjoyed her jump-a-roo. Matt loves doing jumping jacks with Ellie as she bounces.
