We had a great time at Great Aunt Mandy's!
Ellie LOVED Cousin Brad's butternut squash soup (and then promptly broke out in hives!) The meal was fabulous and the company, well, that goes without saying!

E is now standing on her own and has taken her first step! Her first real words/sounds are BA and PA, which she repeats over and over. She cruises the furniture like a champ, crawls quickly, and is starting to use her little pinchers to try to pick up crumbs from the floor.
