Elli's Big Adventures!

Elli had a busy day today. She and Greg went to Daddy Boot Camp, which is a class for expecting fathers put on by our hospital. Greg went before Elli was born and got a lot out of it. They ask 'veteran' dads to come in with their child and impart wisdom to those in the class. The class is three hours long. Apparently Elli did very well...she was the only girl in the class of 20 or so. I am so proud of Greg...Elli just loves him to pieces so I'm sure he had some good advice. (Side note: Greg picked out Elli's outfit so she wore her 'I LOVE DADDY' shirt.)


Cereal...here we come! We tried cereal this afternoon for the first time. Elli made some hilarious faces. It was too funny. She maybe ate 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon. We are going to try again tomorrow.


I promise I'm not strangling here her...I was trying to keep her head still.


Greg also put together the ExerSaucer (thank you Wodicka's...it's the coolest!!!). Elli got in it and loved it!! She found the mirror and just sat there smiling and talking to herself. It was priceless. There are moments like those that make me so grateful to be a mom...and specifically, to be Elli's mom. She's so much fun.



Thanks to the Nicholsons for allowing Greg and I to have a date night last night! You guys are the best...Elli loves her Mamaw and Papaw!


Here are some other pictures of what we've been up to.
