We need to first apologize for our slack-blogging. Here are some highlights of our crazy summer, and some new fun things the baby is doing!
Elleah is getting more and more beautiful, each day and her hair is getting thicker and thicker. She is pulling herself up on furniture, and trying to get into everything. She scoots on her bum but refuses to crawl. If she needs something she'll get on her two front hands, one knee and then plant her other foot on the ground like she's walking! She's starting walking along the front of the couches and can even pull herself up in her crib. We' keep practicing crawling, but I'm not sure it's ever going to happen!

We went to WY to visit my grandparents! Her grandma great was tickled to see her!

Mike would walk her by any photo of Jesus and she would just light up, very neat to see!



My mom made all the little girls pioneer bonnets and skirts!

Happy Fathers day!

Cameron there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you, and what you have done for us. This baby has so many amazing features and traits that I know have come straight from you! We are so grateful to you, for who you are as a person and as one of our closest friends! Thank you doesn't seem right but it's all there is when there is a lack of words!
we Love you
Mike, Lora and Elleah

happy fathers day!

I learned to fish!

A special word and a picnic
We had our first family picnic, on a lunch break of Mikes this week. It was was too quick and not a very great first picnic, so a few days later we went back to the same spot to try it again. The park is connected to the "zoo" if there is such a thing in Logan and we just had a blast walking around looking at the animals. Elleah is definitely a watcher. She could just stare and watch. I love that about her. This week she also said "dada" she has pulled out "ma ma" several times too, but dada is a constant word it's so cute. She has started to get up on her hands and knees. She just smiles and then plops back down on her tummy. I think she knows she's done something right and that's all there is to it!

she LOVES real food, she likes her baby food too, but would rather eat off your pate

she has these super long dark lashes that she bats at strangers as they pass! everyone stops to comment on what a beautiful baby she is!
