Toys...

who needs them when you have toilet paper and carpet pieces?

First of Many

Today Ellabeth got her first pair of real - not just for looks - shoes.  So far, she is more interested in playing with and eating them than walking in them!

Safety First

Looks like our next baby-proofing task is to get cabinet locks!

Just Like Mama

Ellabeth and her mommy had 9 month pictures taken in the same outfit, by the same company, with almost the same background.

US OPEN Style

We didn't draw as many fans as Rocco and Tiger.

Actually, our only fan was really more interested in her juice and snacks than our long, straight shots.

But we all had a fun afternoon at the driving range!

Family Night Out

Over the weekend, we headed into Boston to check out the big trophy and people getting excited about the Celtics.

We stopped by the North End to grab some pizza.

And no night is complete without visiting Paul Revere!

Gate Time

This morning, Ellabeth was playing well with her toys, so I decided to run to the bathroom to quickly wash my face.  When I stepped out to check on her, this is what I found.  She had crawled from the living  to her bedroom and then somehow climbed to standing on her chair so that she could play with the blinds.  

This afternoon, I put up a gate to keep a little more control on her roaming!

Getting Ready

Ellabeth is working on her hair style and facial expressions for her 9 month pictures later this week.

First Meat

Ellabeth enjoyed her Sunday until she had to try baby food chicken noodle dinner.  She might stay a vegetarian a little longer!

Short Shorts

Ellabeth is going to spend the summer showing off her chubby legs.

Sweet Kisses

Ellabeth missed her daddy so much that she showered him with kisses when she got back.
