Almost 5 months

All of sudden a month has gone by without me writing anything down! Ellis is so amazing. We are having a ton of fun with him. He is SO close to rolling over but not quite there yet. I think it is so funny to watch him try and do something so hard but I don't think he is clear on exactly what he is trying. He gets so frustrated so easily though when he wants to do something and he can't. Like if he wants to get a toy in his mouth and he can't do it, he starts to SCREAM! He still has that high pitched scream and the angrier he gets the higher pitched it gets. It is really funny actually.

He has this funny laugh that he does when he is upset too. He is a really good complainer. Likes to talk it up when he is upset and wants something else. Sometimes it is easy to talk him out of it. For example you just do something silly, like a funny noise or a funny dance and he has this guffaw laugh that he does when he swings from annoyed to happy. And sometimes he does that same laugh when he almost seems like he is trying to talk himself out of a cranky mood. He cracks us up!

There are very specific things that Ellis does not like. Tshirts, not being held when he wants to be, being up too late past his bedtime and hunger are among them. Otherwise, he is such a great and easy going baby. We are very lucky!

Clara is enjoying her newly reorganized room. We moved the bed out of Ellis' room and put it into hers and she LOVES it. We have not let her sleep in it yet though she really really wants to. She loves to run in there and bury herself in the bed. She is pretty insistent on it. I actually had to change her clothes and diaper while she was in the bed today! A little nuts. We need to get bed rails before we allow her to sleep in the bed though. I think she is really going to like it once we let her, though I am curious to see if she is going to walk all around when she gets that new freedom. We will see!
