Some recent pictures of Ellia--the one above was taken July 15th. Just one of my most favorite baby outfits, and she was smiling to go with it. Below that are two pictures from the day she was 8 months old. Mommy says she is growing way too fast. She is now rolling over, from one end of the room to the other. She scoots a little and tries to crawl. Not sure that she will be longer before she is on the move!

The pictures below that are from our trip to Mexico. Alexis is a boy there that adores Ellery and Ellia so we snapped some pics of that. We have a picture of our sponsored girls with our children as well. The other pictures are from San Diego, including one of Lito holding her in the Baby Bjorn. She loves sightseeing in that thing!

June 14th at Rocky Mountain-Ellia loved the beach at Rocky Mountain. She felt the sand and barely tasted it, but she didn't eat handful after handful like Ellery used to do. Thank goodness! She enjoyed sitting and splashing in the water too.

These were taken the day Ellia was 7 months old. She is getting pretty good at sitting by herself, although she still will fall forward or backward sometimes. She is still pretty happy as you can see by the pictures. She loves to have a blanket close by.

This was Ellia's second time in the pool, but we remembered the camera. She likes the water and enjoys riding in her float.

Ellia's second trip to the fountains..she is a good baby, and she played a little but then she got tired and cranky so I just laid her down to konk out! That is what she did!

Ellia showed a variety of faces when wedged in between her siblings. Some moments were happy, some were indifferent, and some looked scared! We just had to grab the camera, though.

Just a picture of the cicadas that are in Ellia's world these days. They are outside everywhere, and supposedly they only come every 11 years or something. They are VERY loud!
