Jumping Bean!

Elliana goes wild in her exer-saucer, jumping all over the place, grabbing her toys and laughing and having fun. Here is a video...

Sweet Pea!

I forgot to tell you that Elliana has moved on to peas for her big girl food. She still likes to "help" by grabbing the spoon.

Raaaaahhh! A scary spider!

Grabbing her toys and ripping them down...

Apple Picking

We went apple picking at Applecrest Orchards in New Hampshire on Saturday. Elliana had a great time in the pick-your-own apple patch, and on the tractor and hanging out with Grandma, Grampy and the Fossianos.

Elliana loved picking her own apples (and leaves)!

Elliana tasting her first fresh picked apple...nice and sour, pucker up!

Elliana having a great time playing with Grampy, who's happier than this little girl?

Big Girl!

Here are some more pictures. Elliana likes to hold her bottle now (sometimes) but she also likes to pull it out of her mouth and move it all around, so she hasn't mastered it quite yet!

She also likes to grab the bars of her crib, so it won't be long before she tries to climb out I guess!

Here she is showing off her Life is Good Love Bug outfit

Just a little drool dripping off the chin, but still looking cute!

More Pics

Here are some more pictures, didn't want to leave you all hanging since you've been better with the comments! Sticking her tongue out a little:

Showing off the teeth...

Watching her Beethoven video!

New Poll!!!

It seems that I am getting a bit of grief for wearing a helmet while towing the little girl with my bike. Note the following two comments:

whats with the helmet?

~Ryan (listed as Anonymous, could be Agustina but for the purposes of this post we will go with Ryan)

That is a pretty sweet set up she's got there. And Rob, you look super fast in that helmet.
~Nate

Unlike someone who already has brain-damage (i.e. Ryan and Nate), it could actually affect my life significantly if I were hit by a car and smashed my head on the pavement. So with the real elections looming I submit to you another voting opportunity with the following question:

Who looks better in a helmet, Rob or Ryan, as seen in the photos below? Please answer in the top right section of Elliana's Main Page!

Carrot Face!
