Isn't she cute

Earning Baby E's trust

Baby E has always been shy and doesn't really like other people to hold her especially when mom or dad are in sight. My older brother spent a fair amount of time at the temple trying to play with her and get her to let him hold her. As you can see, he did a pretty good job of earning her trust

Growing so fast

Baby E has really started to love being outside. If I go outside she starts saying "side, side, side, side" until I take her out. She is also starting to be able to move up and down stairs and practiced this a lot over the weekend at my parents house and when we went to the temple. In the pics where she is in the purple coat, she is bouncing on her first trampoline and she seemed to really like it. In the other pic, I brought her under this tree with me and then she later went back to it and tried to get underneath but wasn't able to do it all by herself. I got to see my brother's baby for the first time and it was wierd seeing how small she was compared to Baby E. I guess I have forgotten how tiny they are. It felt a little awkward holding her. I guess I better get used to it again though.

She loves eating-messy like me too

Such a big girl

She wants to be just like her mother. I'm in big trouble.

More peek a boo

She loves to play this. I think it is soooo cute that she covers her face with her hand and still keeps her eye open to see. Wifey will start looking for her and saying "is baby E behind the couch, and baby E will actually answer her and say no" It's adorable.

Cute wife and child

Firepit

I bought one of those little firepits and baby E really liked it-A lot!

Peek a boo

She is so much fun now

Reading and Drinking water

The first thing she wants now everytime she wakes up is her sippy cup. She reads a lot. She has no idea what she is reading but she makes up the words as she goes and there is an aweful lot of cute jibberish going on.

New Camera

I got a new camera and therefore I have become camera happy. This camera is awesome and I have gotten some really fun pics that my other camera would not have been able to take.

Wrestling Team

We start with about 30 and this is what is left after everyone quits or gets kicked off because of bad grades. It's pretty frustrating to coach at this school but at least it makes a difference to the few that stick it out.

What Year Do You Belong In?

You Belong in 1985

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

Time off

I got a new camera which makes it a lot easier to get good pictures because it actually takes the pictures when I want it to. Baby E wasn't feeling very good today so I took her for a drive to a park up the road and she tried to get in the river. I think this summer should be fun because she might actually be interested in playing in the water. Last year, I tried to get her in the water and she became very upset. She and I will also be spending a lot more time together this summer as we will have our baby boy by them and I will be on Baby E duty while I am on paternity leave. I wish Baby E was old enough to go in my boat but I don't think she is yet. Hopefully, the new camera will inspire me to post more regularly but I promise nothing(for the 2 people that even look at my page:)
