Memories

Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together, or one of the first memories you have of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

This will be fun. Thanks Brooke (and all others who have done this)!

Ellie's First Food

Today after Ellie's 6 month well visit, we decided to start her on solid food. Here she is with her first experience of rice cereal. I think she actually kind of liked it. She didn't make a very big mess at all, and she kept opening her mouth really wide for the next bite. We certainly enjoy each and every new and exciting milestone she reaches.

Mom, what is this?

More please.

Yummy!

6 Months Old

Last Friday, Eliza turned six months old. I can't believe how much time has gone by. She is so much fun to have around. What a joy she has brought to our lives!

We are a COUGAR family!

...Just in case anyone was unsure!

I love you Uncle Bryan!

Mommy, Wow...I'm a big kid now!

As of yesterday, our little girl can sit up all by herself. We can't believe she will be 6 months old next week and are so excited to watch her reach each of these wonderful milestones. She is becoming such a little lady! We are so proud.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

We had a wonderful 4th last Friday. We woke up early to go to the flag raising ceremony at our church. We then went swimming (Ellie's first time!), and topped off the evening with a wonderful fireworks display. Ellie had a very fun (and tiring) day. We are so grateful for our country, our independence, and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. God Bless the USA!
