more of summer

elle had so much fun at the 4th of july parade! she usually doesn't keep the glasses on for more than 3 seconds, but decided that they were fun and left them on.
every week she's doing something new. she's constantly saying new words and has just started saying her name, which sounds like "ewee." she loves to sing and can carry a tune! sometimes i hear her singing "jesus loves me" or "twinkle, twinkle."
enjoy some cuteness.

Swim time

Thanks everyone for the fun swim toys you bought Elle for her birthday, but apparently a clothes hanger is more fun in the pool.
I can't get enough of the red polka-dots. My child is quite possibly the cutest little girl ever. : )

First Hair Cut

My adorable child transformed from an infant to a toddler on her birthday. We cut bangs, and she let me put pigtails in. She looks so much older to me now!

So sorry...

Due to technical difficulties (my iPhoto is running like molasses), I won't be blogging new posts for a while. I'm referring you to my Facebook account where you can see new pictures of the darling girl.

Elle turned 9 mo. today!

The Video I Meant to Post

This is a better video, she actually crawls in this one. : )

The Muffin is getting SO BIG!!!

She's growing up!!! Everyday she's more like a little girl and less like a baby. She's eating lots of new foods and wants to feed herself most of the time. I've been making her "muffin meals." They're healthy of course, tonight she had organic chicken with carrots and broccoli.
In the past week, she's started to pull up on EVERYTHING. This morning she pulled up on the changing table where I have some of her things stored in baskets. She grabbed a hold of the basket, flinging barretts everywhere and plunked down on her bottom and then sprawled out onto her back and gave me this pitiful look. Wish I would have caught that one on video, it was pretty funny to watch!
