June

Summer is already flying by so quickly.  Elsie and I have been keeping busy with our daily routine of eating, walks, playing inside and out, cleaning, and napping (mostly just for her).  Here are a few of the moments in June that I was able to get pictures of.

First off, trying out the new sandbox that Godparents Jon and Angie got for Elsie.  We weren't anticipating her reaction.  Angie plopped her in and threw sand on her and screamed.  She got out of there as fast as she could and clung to Angie for dear life.

We put her back in to try again and here was her reaction...

After a minute or two, she started easing up....

And she was even willing to purposefully touch it with a pinch...

We haven't tried it again but will soon.

A common morning occurence is that Elsie explores all over the main level while I finish cleaning after breakfast or checking e-mail.  On this day I saw that she had pulled her diaper bag down and was digging through it.  I let her go and continued reading my e-mail.  Then I started hearing a "ch-ch-ch-ch-ch" sound and turned to find this....

She thought that was the greatest game ever and was not impressed when I put an end to it.

Elsie's first smoothie!  We made them while MAtthew was home for lunchy...

It is really funny to see where Elsie tucks away and puts toys now.  I thought it was cute that she put these little guys on the windowsill to look outside....

Lastly, some pictures of Elsie from last week. I was trying to get her to sit on the little chair I got at a garage sale.
