Ringling Brothers Meet Elizabeth

We've been working on Elizabeth's juggling skills. We think she might have a real future with the circus. Now we just need to introduce those flaming wands...Uncle Aaron, can you help us out with her training?

Larry, Curly and Moe

Who's the wisegal?

A Big Day of Fun

Playing with friends - Elizabeth is learning to share.

Dad, quit tickling me!

Another nice Saturday evening listening to music. Elizabeth has learned to "dance" and she really got the beat of the African drums.

Playing in my PJs

Someone is a morning person...at least for now

Notice the 2 purple shapes? Whenever she plays with the shape sorter, she usually finds with the 2 that match. She's so smart.

A Day at the Park

There are lots of nice parks around us so we like to take Elizabeth when we have time. Usually we only use the swings, but at this park, we helped her with some of the other equipment. The tire swing with dad brought a lot of laughs.

State of the Art Toys

Dear Millie- Thank you for the cool box toy. I really love the box. Actually this music table has become one of Elizabeth's favorites. She loves standing up "herself" these days. Yesterday she officially started cruising from the music table to an ottoman. We bought out first baby gate finally and I have a feeling we're going to need it soon! She has so much energy that once she starts walking, it'll be a run in no time.

Happy 4th...or 21st of July!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Greg (no, not Uncle Sam it's Uncle Greg's birthday on the 4th). We spent the 4th at the pool and a cookout with some friends and other babies. In the evening, we went to a free concert here in our area. Elizabeth seems to really like music. Just this week, she's started "dancing" when music comes on. She'll bob/bounce up and down. It's so cute!

Too much kicking in the pool made for a tired baby at the end of the concert!

Family Photos

Did you all know BJ is a model in his spare time?

Hello Wednesday

Does this look like a "sick" child to you? She was at the doctor yesterday and they think she has a sinus infection, so yesterday she was home with daddy and today with mommy. Shouldn't she be laying in bed sleeping and not playing?

Look at that modeling pose...way to work it with that yellow ring, Elizabeth

Ooops, she was a little distracted by tennis - I think she likes Federer

There's that sweet smile

Beat of the Drum

Elizabeth has a new favorite game - standing up herself (with the help of the footrest). Every time we do it, she just laughs and yells and lets us know she's enjoying that perspective. It's also a good way for her to work on her drumming skills. Motley Crew or GNR, only a few more inches of hair and here we come (she already has her shirt off)!

Go Dayton Flyers

Elizabeth isn't the newest baby to join the team anymore. Her new friend, Reagan, came to the games on Saturday. Elizabeth welcomed her by trying to grab at her eyeballs (it's her way of shaking hands). Elizabeth had a great day at the softball games and cheered on mom and dad, even though they both had a bad day at the plate.
