JUNE...

• Back to Asheville for Aunt Carly's high school graduation!
  
• While in Asheville, Ellery discovered her toes. She sucks on them whenever she can. Sometimes they get wrinkly for having been in her mouth so long.
• Kevin, Betsy and Aidan visited us from Oregon. Lots of activities including Water World, fishing, go-carts, and camping in the backyard.
• Quinn, Dan and the kids came for their annual summer stay. Finn --age 3 -- liked to ask Ellery, "How was your day today?"
  
• Chris left the Rocky Mountain News for a job at The Community Foundation. He works right downtown -- 2 miles away. Ellery and I visit him at work when we're downtown. http://commfound.org/news/index.html
  
• Her four month check-up -- 10 pounds, 12 ounces, 24 inches long
• She laughed for the first time! She's talking a lot, watching us eat, and trying hard to roll over, but still does not like the car.

May

MAY:

• She loves the water! She likes to take baths in the big tub where she can float and kick.
• She does NOT like to ride in the car. At all.
• She learned how to use her hands and can reach out and grab her toy.
• She only naps in the sling.
• She loves to be outside and especially loves to look at the trees.
• Reid visited from Missouri. He went backpacking and found out that it's still pretty snowy in the backcountry.
