Lots of Firsts

Ellie has had a lot of "firsts" over the past few days.

On Saturday she played in an outdoor swimming pool for the first time. Our neighbors were having a birthday party for their kids and rented out a city pool for the evening. Everyone had a great time, except for Ellie. She did not like the pool at all - a big change from the last time she was in a pool. I got in with her and splashed around; she cried. We did not get any pictures, but just imagine a screaming baby and you get the idea.


Sunday we took Ellie on her first real hike. Though it was short by our standards, especially Tim's, we had a great time. The dogs also went along. Ellie rode in the backpack carrier and enjoyed looking around. She only fussed when we first put her in; once we got moving she was happy as a clam. She dozed a couple of times on the hike and even did pretty well in the car on the way there and back. These pictures are in the wrong order - the one of her in the carrier on the ground is when we were just getting started.





Lastly, Ellie got her first tooth yesterday. It isn't up far enough to see it well enough for a picture, but the pointy little top is definitely through her gums! Yeah!

Here are a couple of pictures of her playing. The pillows behind her aren't to hold her up, just to catch her when she randomly pitches backwards!
