"All Grown Up?"

Look at this one go! Here we found Little Miss Elena playing "Big Girl" and "Good Mommy" for the far, far off future. She has her purse and baby doll and is trucking them around the house like she has been walking ages. Also she lugs around other things such as this heavier drums while walking. She sure is growing up oh so fast! Where has the time gone?

Caterpillar's

Caterpillars are fun......................fun to eat that is MMMMMMMHahahahahahaha. No not really. I did try to pinch one to death and eat it as well. Mom intervened and spared the poor pretty things life. Man was it fun to play with and pet and let it crawl all over me. How excited I was. Luckily they are all over our yard so there will be many more opportunities to play or "hhhhmmm" eat? I wouldnt be the first in the family now would I????? Oma = )

Multi tasker here

All aboard my bus. I am your bus driver for today and my name is Elena. Don't pay any mind that I am mixing with my spoon and buckets while driving. No one has been hurt in the making of this play time or of the photos...he he.

Playtime with Elena

Here I am getting in and out of boxes and baskets. Cleaning out and loading them back up again. I like to be pulled around the house in the pink basket with wheels.

It's Official!

I am now a cruiser! I am now toddling everywhere! I do occasionally still knee crawl..but mainly walk now. I like to show off my "mad walking skills" so I will even at times kick my large pink ball around the house while walking unassisted. Then yesterday I started saying "all done" and have said it several times between yesterday and today. Look out world...here I come!

Wedding Part 2

Here I am with the Bride to be and the Groom to be the night before their wedding. Also a couple pictures of me at the wedding and with one of the many kids I enjoyed playing with and meeting.

Part 1 of the Wedding/ Reunion

Here we are at the rehearsal dinner . These are some of my cousins and my aunt. This was our first ever meeting. I had a lot of fun with everyone. Everyone enjoyed passing me around and getting to know me. There was much more family there in one place and at one time than you could shake a stick at..but here are just a few pictures.

SD Beach and Zoo

This last week I got to do and see many new things. Here I am at the beach and at the SD Zoo with my Great Great Aunt Pauline. The main reason we went to SD was for a wedding and for a family reunion..but we got to squeeze these two things in as well.
