Wow! I can't believe I haven't added anything since the third! Well, since we've been home, Ellie has made a lot of progress! She has learned to roll (on command, too), she can scoot backwards, but not forward yet. She is finally sleeping through the night (I'll probably jinx this by putting it in writing). Last night she slept 13 hours! This is fine as long as my parents are here, but after they leave, I'll have to wake her up when we take Katie to school. She has learned to enjoy the bathtub. As you may recall, this was a tramatic event the first time! As we speak, she is learning to beg for ice cream! Funny how they know you have something good! She is quite a picky eater. So far some favorites are baby oatmeal with banana, sweet potatoes cantelope and saltines. She'll eat about 5 bites of something, then she'll begin spitting it out!
We had our First Friday group this past Friday. Ellie got to meet many new friends who have children or are waiting to have children from China. The girls we thought were so small now seem very big compared to our little peanut!
She is a happier baby than when we first brought her home. We're thankful for that! Katie is doing well as a big sister. She enjoys playing with Ellie for short amounts of time, then she goes about her business. We're taking the girls for their portraits on Sunday. Let's hope for smiles!

We are so glad she likes ice cream! You know what that means!!!!
It's amazing how much Ellie has changed even since the trip photos. You would never know she hated taking a bath in a former life!
Love to all, ~auntie d
