We have had a busy past few months with work schedules and life in general, but as you can see from the pictures, we've had some time for fun and new experiences! Eléa went to her first and second birthday party, and I am pretty sure is convinced that for a birthday party to be legit it needs a bouncy castle. We also went to a neighborhood festival that had a small petting zoo and Eléa got to hold a guinea pig, 2 rabbits, and a tortoise. She also really enjoyed the musical performance, though was hard to capture her "dancing"in photos.
We also took a short trip up to NYC to visit old friends and Eléa was so excited to hang with Baby Jaya. She clearly fell in love and still talks on and on about Baby Jaya since we've come back. Other firsts included first popsicle and first popcorn, both big successes as you can imagine. Eléa has really begun enjoying make believe games and has started swimming lessons at our local YMCA. She has started to get a bit more fearful about some things... when she sees a cat she says, "cat no eat me!"... and she didn't want to ride a pony or sit on a longhorn bull during my father's weekend birthday celebration. I think a little caution can't hurt us and usually fearless offspring.
