Super Huge Catch-Up

This post has pictures from May to mid-July. Sit back, get comfy, and enjoy.

11 months old!


Swinging with grandma Chiq
Lovely baby bumps
Gabe's parents and two sisters visiting DC for Gabe's graduation
On the national mall for graduation from the George Washington University. Eleanor stole the show.
Elle didn't like the outfit. We tried to explain that sometimes looking your best doesn't mean feeling your best.
With grandpa John
Gros bisous (love and kisses) to aunt Leah

Elle can't get enough of the carousel at Roosevelt Fields Mall
Looking cute in a dress Aunt Emily bought in Peru
Swing in the park across the street from our house
Priceless expression - what else can I say?

Happy Birthday! Early in the morning
One year old exactly at 5:58 p.m.
Amber claims that Gabe is teaching Elle to be a druggie. Gabe retorts, "Not so . . . simply better living through chemistry."
Fun to be one!
Uh... you have a little piece of cake on your face. - Did you get it?. . . no, it's still there.

Reaching out to feel the rain falling for the first time
Aunt Adria and Uncle Mike stopping through at JFK airport
Father's day - Amber and Elle made a banner for papa (he loved it)
A "first" birthday party for our neighborhood friends. Amber organized a party for all the kids that would be turning one at about the same time.

We tie-died onesies for the party activity
Elle's friends: Lyla, Lily, Ava, Justus, and Brenden

A surprise baby shower for Amber thrown by her library group friends
Up to this point, Elle has hated any body of water - from the ocean to the pool. Elle decided to conquer her fears at the beach on Independence Day - how appropriate.

Now she can't get enough of the pool. We're so proud
