Swimming!! (8/9/09)

So it FINALLY got warm this summer, enough for Daddy you blow up the pool.  Swimming is great!!  Its almost like taking a bath!

Sweet Beats (8/6/09)

Today I helped Daddy with his music collection.  He let me listen to some tunes through his headphones.  I really like music!

How I spent my July

In a word, WALKING

This month, I expanded my mobility repertoire by trying my hand at walking.   I started by standing in place for a while.  Then I tried taking 2 or 3 steps before losing my balance.  Mommy showed me that I could practice taking more steps by using the walker.  I can't wait until I'm walking on my own!

My First Camping Trip (6/12/09)

June was a very busy month.   The fun didn't slow down as we headed to Fish Lake Beach with our new pop-up camper.  BEHOLD...

 

Mommy and Daddy really love camping.  There were a lot of us.  Let's see, there was Mr. Joe and Mrs. Emily, Mike and Patrick, Mr. Matt and Mrs. Mary, Aunt Kitt, Uncle Kyle, Aunt Becky ~ and cousin James came along too.  We all had a great time!

My First Sox Game (6/7/09)

I am not sure who was more excited ~ me or my parents.  Daddy made me a sign so we could try to get on TV.

I had heard a lot about this 'baseball', and I have to say that I had a really good time.  Although the Sox didn't win, Mommy said that we would get them next time.  White Sox!  White Sox!  Go White Sox!

Cousin Mike's Graduation and I meet the Great Greats for the first time (6/6/09)

My cousin Mike graduated from 8th grade.  Daddy said that not only is he smart, he is a force to be reckoned with on the blue line.  Here I am sizing him up.  I think I can take him....

Mike's mom is really nice.  She makes me smile.  See my tooth?

Daddy introduced me to his Gram and Gramp.  He says that I get to call them the 'Great Greats'.  He also said that I can't have his olives.  Yet.

Its my half birthday!! (5/13/09)

Gram made me half of a cake for my half birthday.  At the time, I had no idea what either were.  Sure looks good though....

Time to get caught up

Now that summer is over and our schedules are less hectic, its time to get caught up on how Miss Ellie spent her summer.  Looking back through the MASSIVE amount of photos, we left off around mid-May.

At 6 months, Ellie started to really enjoy her baths.  I think her expression says it all.
