Catching Up With Elli

There's a lot to catchup on with Elliana, so I will just dive into it.

In early June, we gave Elli her first real, all-out bath (versus a sponge bath). For the most part, she loved it. For the first half, she was totally lounging, like an adult in a pool laying on a floating bed on a sunny day. Toward the end, she let us know that she had had enough, but even then she didn't cry too loudly.

Now she bathes like a pro. Here are some pics of her first time.

This next set of pics is Elliana with her closest cousin in terms of age, Sawyer, who now lives right down the street from us (Sawyer was born one month before Elli). I love how you can see a difference already in personalities between the two: Elli has a different face in each pic while Sawyer is much more relaxed and chill. Heather and I sure have one emotional girl on our hands. : )

One day, Heather came home from running errands and realized that she had not buckled Elli into her car seat. Oops, right!? Elli was indignant at the lack of concern for her safety, and she let us know it in these pics below.

The rest of these pics are just some cute pics of Elli over the past month and a half. I especially love the ones of her smiling at the end. Isn't she adorable?!
