...and CLIMBS all over everything! We just missed the shot of her STANDING on her bouncer! She never ceases to amaze us...
Sweet Adeline is playing on the floor beside her! They are best buds... Elsie Anne always 'checks in' on her + gives her kisses (its more like a head bump w/ an open mouth)!!!
We decided our next play-date will be in Denver to go see Santa Clause!! I can't wait to see if EA will be flirty or scared of Santa!!
Got to the airport a bit too early, so we got to play a little more before Memere went through security! EA loves doing 'Patty-Cake' w/ Memere... "throw it in the pan!"
Miss you already Momma:( Thank goodness we'll see you in a month!!!
She really liked the vibrating drill, but didn't really know what to do w/ the rest... besides knaw on them :)
Tubby time w/ Memere!!
LA + Mike...
Once back @ the house, Memere got the food warmed + ready to serve up for an afternoon Thanksgiving Dinner!
Our friends, Donnie, Laurie + Scott also came over for the delicious feast! Elsie Anne stole the show when she showed everyone her walking abilities!!
She wore her cousin Ashton's dress... so nice to have meaningful hand-me-downs!! Super cute tan cordurory w/ birds on a branch in the front, then wraps around in the back w/ two big buttons!
EA's first time eating meat... I pureed T-giving turkey + mixed it w/ her squash... she loved it! So fun getting to try new things... next up... brussel sprouts, beets + asparugus!! Now that she's almost 9mo, she also gets to have egg yolk... she is such a 'Super Baby'!!
My cousin, LA, + her husband, Mike, moved to Denver this summer from Tallahassee! She is getting her PhD @ Denver University... its so nice having some family close by! They were loving the scenery + taking in the mountain life style :)
No matter what music is playing, EA can always find the beat! She + Daddy danced all night! I got a turn while Daddy walked around :)
She also got to hang out in the snow for the first time! Her hands were covered, so there wasn't much she could do, but she thought it was funny sitting on the ground @ everyone's feet! 
Shawn, EA, Memere + Donnie!
Next time we'll have to do a bit of research on the music... @ least it was a FREE concert :) 
We had a yummy lunch in Denver @ PeiWei Asain Diner + shopped around Super Target so that EA could play a bit, before driving back to Breckenridge! Once we got home, EA quickly showed Memere her new (and favorite) toy... her walk/ride... she is such a ham:)
Memere cooked us up a great dinner + Elsie Anne watched every step! You've probably heard my cooking philosophy... I think it's GENERATIONAL!! My BumBum is not known for her kitchen skills, so my mom learned young + is amazing in the kitchen! I never learned since she + Dad are both great cooks, + now my poor daughter will have to learn early... so far, so good... EA seems to be very interested :) She also loves watching her Daddy cook (thank goodness for him)!!!
Every time Memere held EA she played w/ her diamond necklace... she's got great taste!! Just kidding, every baby has always loved Memere's necklace :)
Can't wait for that 2nd one to pop through! She'll be a little chipmunk!
Adeline is 6mo, but she was 10wks early, so her adjusted age is 3 1/2mo! She is super sweet + loves getting kisses from EA! I am very happy to be working w/ her family again :)
Happy Mom + Son... we had a wonderful visit + can't wait until January when we go to Cinci + meet our 'soon-to-come' nephew!
Such a big girl... getting into everything!
The jammies we got EA... actually, they were for Shawn! He is VERY into Christmas + keeps wanting to decorate, but I'm like my Mom + won't let him until AFTER Thanksgiving! These jammies have reindeer, santa, candy canes, xmas trees, etc... can't get more xmasy than that :) GeeGee got her the hat... its a snowman/santa hat!!
All decked out in our Bengals attire!
Family photo... look @ that weather behind us... you can barely see the mountains!
Our "BEN-GALS" cheerleader! She already does stunts w/ Daddy!
Giving GeeGee some much needed kisses! It was too sweet!
All of EA's fun new gifts from GeeGee + Granpa! This rocking horse has 40 songs + she is loving it! She sits there + dances to the tunes :)
Our loving little sweet hearts!!
Breckenridge Ski Area opened on Thursday, so our morning outing was a RIDE ON THE GONDOLA!!! H could not quit talking about it all morning + the whole day after! We are waiting for Shawn to join us... look how EA watches H w/ such admiration!
Here we are riding up the mountain... we saw trees, birds, squirrels, snow, buses, cars, trucks... all below us!!
We had lunch on Peak 7 @ the new restaraunt 'Sevens' + then Shawn went up to ski + we went down for naps!! 
This was the first time she sat on the ground (w/out a blanket or towel under her). Mommy is a bit of a 'neat-freak', so it's good that Daddy lets her get down + dirty! She did really good throwing all the rocks + wood down when we said, "yucky, throw it away!"
Daddy also let her play in the back of his truck... She thought this was the best! She was hanging on to the bar, bouncing, dancing + squealing w/ delight!
"I love helping Daddy, can I go to work w/ him more often?"
"Hmmm, don't know about this... I don't think Mommy would let me get away w/ this!" This is why Daddy is her favorite!
It was good to see EA w/ a little dirt on her hands! I do want her to be a mixture... a 'girlie-tom' as I call it! Yes, for the most part, I am a 'girlie-girl', but growing up w/ 2 brothers definitely gave me the 'tom'!
