Maryland trip

Ellia made her first visit to Maryland to visit Pappy and the rest of the relatives. We found a street that is the same as her middle name. Guess because it means hickory tree that it makes sense to find it in the community of Hickory! We made some videos of her on the swings at Rocks State Park, and we took some pics of her enjoying the great outdoors from daddy's head! Good memories!

Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga

On August 9th we headed to Chattanooga to the Children's Discovery Musuem. There were even a few things for baby discovery! Ellia enjoyed the day along with her siblings. The Bob the Builder hat was funny!

Ellia at nine months. These are from August 5th when Ellia was nine months old. We thought a few eating pics might be good for the memory books.

Ellia's first beach trip

Ellia enjoyed Dauphin Island for her first beach trip. She ate a little sand--more than Elan did as a baby but less than Ellery did. She was a sweet baby and napped in the wagon on the beach a couple a mornings. She was her usual happy self.

Ellia's show during Elan's birthday

We already had the camera out for Elan's birthday party, and Ellia was doing a little show herself. Some photos and videos to share (from July 28th).

Loving a dirty shoe--we went to Chickfila for concerts on the patio where they featured a local Christian band. Ellia sat in Ellery's chair and started chewing her shoe. It was beyond cute so I couldn't resist. Hopefully the germs were few!

Last Sunday morning, July 17th, Anthony took some pics of early morning fun. I grabbed the camera to document the way the kids pile in the bed with him when they wake up and he is still in bed. Mommy is always up and about already!
