yay for park days!

we had lotsa-lotsa fun at the park today with some of the big kids (cousin charlie, cousin shayne, ashliegh, and ethan). eliette can't wait to run around with them, but still had a great time chillin with the mommies and loungin in the shade :)

oh my god, shoes

thanks dan & tiffany for these rad shoes (one says mom, the other dad), so cute. where'd her pants go?

1st time at point dume!

so yesterday we decided it was a perfect day for our favorite spot in malibu since brian had the day off. eliette had such a great time and we thought the ocean air would be good for her. it was so fun that we decided this weekend would be perfect for camping on the beach. so excited!!

park + cousins = funtimes

we had a great time visiting with our cousins Erin, Brian and lil (not so lil actually) Jack, and loved hanging at the park. funtimes.

mudface

so a muddy dee-dee the dog runs into a happy eli while grandpa charlie decides to hold her standing on the ground in the backyard. mommy freaked out and quickly grabs her heading to a bath. eliette thought it was funny. i definitely have a forbes.

Her first cold won't stop the cheery squeals

Yes, Eliette officially has her first cold :( BUT, the goodish news is that she's building a strong immune system woohoo! And as you can see, she is still a happy chatty Bean.

hangin with mom on a monday

palm springs

we had the best time with the kids in palm springs over labor day weekend... i wish we could've stayed longer. eli LOVED the pool and her lolita sunglasses hehe. hayley and t-bone were into hiding from the camera, but they had fun too (waterslides & a lazy river!! how could that be boring?!)

what a furry pillow

brian thought it would be funny if lil eliette used camo as a pillow. he was right.

omg do we have some catching up to do!!

well, eli bean and the rest of us forbezes have sort of been hibernating in our new baby glory, and i am finally starting to see a little crack in between the ever time-consuming mountains of new parenthood (aka eli's new bedtime of 8ish woohoo!). so now i'm going to try and make my family and friends happy by uploading some long awaited pictures and video with this new free timeslot before i hit the haystack. here are a few pics (i love the ones of her with my mom on the swing, cute!) i took during month 2... oh i just love her eeek!
