Walk of Life

Here's Elijah figuring out how far he can go on those legs! It's great to watch his facial expressions as he is walking. He shows part excitement that he is actually walking and part wonderment of how it feels for his legs taking him on some wild ride.

"Mama, I'm ready for Obama"

A day to go down in history. Elijah enjoyed his first time to the voting polls. He was very excited to see American flags everywhere. He does get excited quite easily. Here he is...photo 1: "ready to vote"; photo 2, "Ahh yeah. Go Obama!"; photo 3: playing Obama a song to victory

Our Little Collector

Elijah absolutely loves being outside and playing. He is usually very busy collecting all kinds of things at the playgrounds we visit. Here is a video of Elijah gathering his pine cones, leaves and such in the dump truck and then moving on to collect more items. It is not shown on the video, but he did manage to get the fireman hat in the dump truck as well and kept on going.

Pumpkin Time

We had a blast playing with all the pumpkins. Met up with many of our friends at a pumpkin patch.

1st Yom Kippur

On this special day, we all spent it together with friends and family. Yom Kippur is a day in which we reflect on the year passed and we visited the beach to relax and share memories.

Meeting Cousin Keaton

My cousin Keaton was born Sept 16 and is a beautiful little girl. Mom & I had fun visiting her in Dallas when she was only one week old.

I now have 5 cousins....Kyle, Caden, Quin, Coral, and Keaton. Ka-razy!!

9 Month Review

See what fun a 9 month old can have!

Getting Dirty

Elijah loves being outside. He enjoys playing at the park (any park). His legs and arms kick with excitement as soon as he has the park and all the kids playing in his view. He is extremely social smiling at everyone and getting very excited to see people. He seems to like playing in the dirt and often finds either a small twig or leaf to hold and bring around with him as he crawls all over the park. He is getting more comfortable using the toys to walk around with, and he absolutely LOVES it when a flock of birds fly overhead. When he sees the birds flying he raises his arms up in the air as if the birds have just flown from the heavens. Here are some photos of Elijah having fun at some of the parks around town...
