Our little girl is trying very hard to stand on her own. Can walking be that far in the future? When I was reading to her while sitting cross-legged on the family room floor, she decided to climb up and see what she could do.

Baby’s First Road Trip / An Amazing Birthday Cake
In late August, we took Eliana for her first car ride longer than three hours. We drove to Minnesota to celebrate Ella’s 8th birthday and Lily’s 6th birthday. Jenelle made the cake, and I think it turned out wonderfully. Be sure to check out the photo album from the trip. Also, here’s a video:
Crazy Photo Book Deal
I placed an order on Shutterfly today for one 8×10 print, three 5×7 folded greeting cards, and four 8×8 hardcover photo books. The total was $5.26.

Give ’em a Wave
Here’s the next cute thing she can do. Waving! There’s some eating and laughing in there too.
Photo Updates
I’ve added four photos to Eliana’s July album, including the cute pic above. I also added Eliana’s August album, which has lots of great shots, including the company picnic, a nap at the Brewer game, and a crawling sequence.

Cleaning and Organizing
Jenelle and I are going through every nook and cranny in the house to get rid of old things and stay organized. Our plan is to visit one area of the house each day over a 40-day period. So far, it’s going well, but we haven’t got to the really cluttered places yet. Today, I […]
Running With the Baby
We’ve gone for walks with Eliana in our fancy-schmancy Bob jogging stroller, but yesterday was the first time I actually ran with it. I managed to run three miles in less than 11 minutes each, and Eliana seemed to enjoy it as well. Jenelle rode her bike and brought our portable video camera along.
Feed Thyself
After posting for eleven consecutive days, it’s been about a week since my last post. I hope to have more stuff later this week. For now, check out Eliana and her latest eating milestone.
