Elia's hug/tackle move

Holding hands
I love Alex's eyes in this one.

Elia's buddy Alex came over for a visit today, and we think Elia freaked her out! ;) Our girl is quite spunky, and kept trying to tackle poor Alex.

Fashion show

Yep, that's my bra.
Dad's hat is pretty snazzy.
Elia has been into putting everything she sees on her head or around her neck, including my tank tops (watch for the video) and Eric's hats.

Elia goes for a ride

We bought Eric a trailer for Father's Day, and the little lady doesn't mind it! She hates her helmet, so that is a challenge, but she is pretty content to go for a ride.

Serious crawling

When Elia gets really serious about crawling she puts her head down and smacks her hands real hard on the ground, too hilarious. She crawled in circles around the island at the cabin many times when we were there earlier in the month.

Marley love

Is that the best laugh or what?!! Marley was a super trooper and danced for a couple minutes to keep Elia laughing.

Cabin fever

Eating like a big girl. She liked mom's peach!


She loved looking through this book about goldens.

Hello Kelsey.
Playing with bath salts.
Marley feeding Elia. She kept telling me how easy it was. ;)



We went up to the cabin in early June after Eric finished school, and sadly the weather was pretty awful. But Jeff, Tina and Marley came up for a few days which was awesome, and Elia managed to keep herself pretty busy. She was a little fussy towards the end and when we got home we discovered tooth #5 coming in! Poor peanut.
