Spending time with friends!

Today we went to the beach with our Navy friends Liz and Audrey. Audrey is 3 months older than Elise and they are new buds. Elise enjoyed rubbing sunscreen on Audreys back. Audrey didn't seem to mind. They were so cute playing together!

I saw dolphins about 200 ft out from the shore today. I think there was about three of them, it was pretty cool!

The girls wanted to be like each other so they were good and wore their hats to prevent premature sun damage!



Seashells! The girls had a wonderful time searching through the shells. It could have kept them busy for hours. The girls did a good job sharing.

Elise is an angel! She loved watching the seagulls, she would point at them and say, "bird". She learns new words everyday.

Earlier this morning I put Elise in her new swing that we hung from the pergola. She loved it!

It think she was in it for 1/2 hour.

Here we are last week at the base marina. VT-4 participated in the Captains Cup sailing competition, so we decided to show some support and go out and watch. I don't think they did very well...plus Jeff, Elise and I were the only fans there.

We saw lots of hermit crabs at the marina. Elise surprisingly didn't seem too interested in the water that day.

Pet Lizard, Faces and Playing in the Bug

Elise has a new pet lizard that lives outside her window in the flower box. We haven't named him/her yet, hopefully we will sometime soon. Elise loves to watch and try to get him. It's fun to watch the harmless critter!

Elise is watching the lizard whom is attached to the outside screen.

Oh Elise! You are silly! Elise loves to pull her hair above her lip then stick her pacifier in. I'll try to film it and post the footage. It is really funny to watch her.

Jeff had his bug out last week and Elise decided she wanted to play in it and pretend to drive. She didn't get very far after taking a tumble in it. All was okay, no major injuries.

We went to the doctor yesterday because Elise has had cold symptoms for 4 weeks and got some antibiotics. Elise also has a mild case of eczema in which she also received some cream for her. Elise was 22 lbs and 8 oz. she was 31.5" long at 17 1/2 mths.
