Bath Time!!!

First we have a video of our very active little girl. Then we had bath time and there is a great picture of Elle in her bath towel from grandma Shephard.

Baby Shower

Last Saturday Adam's cousin Lainey threw us a "sip and see" baby shower so that the extended family could welcome Eliana to the family. She wore her party dress and was very happy to have her picture taken with everyone. All the ladies brought wonderful gifts for Elle and Lainey did such a great job of hosting and decorating so beautifully. She made a couple of new kinds of drinks-lemonades and punch and teas. We made the most of our trip to Louisville and ran some errands ...even though we forgot to take our stroller. But Elle didn't mind us holding her the whole time, in fact she slept. She missed some really neat paintings of a balcony overlooking the ocean, and a milkshake from Chic-Fil-A. Then we went back to Matt and Lainey's for the evening. Matt and Adam had a wonderful time trying to figure out how to order Pizza Hut online. The page kept deleting the order when they tried to place it. But when we finally got the pizza it was amazing. It's been a long time since we've had Pizza Hut. All in all it made for a great Saturday.

Eliana's First Big Outing

Last Friday Eliana, I, Gramma Wisley and the two aunts ~ Angela and Cheri went for a long ride to Lexington to go shopping. Gramma bought us lunch at KFC where Elle sat in her chair and stared at the hanging plant above her. She was so content the whole time and enjoyed the library where Angela and Cheri had an auction for a reading program that they were involved in this summer. Oh and she took a bottle very well during the auction. Hopefully she will be more and more portable as she gets older. We are enjoying her so much!! I am sure we'll have lots more little stories to post as the days go by.
