8 Months!

Since we were on the road we thought would would just chronicle Elle's 8th month with our vacation pictures. At this stage Elle is still not crawling however she does have a very effective pivot! She spins in cirlces in order to change her vantage point or scoot closer to her desired location inch by inch. She looks like a dog chasing it's tail or a beetle bug turning circles trying to get up right. This is one of our favorite "tricks" she does. We thought she cut a tooth on this trip but it must have been a mirage, she still has only gums. Just as every other month she has completely enhanced our lives!

Here we are in El Paso, Texas buying groceries for our camping trip. 

Elle and Sam at H & H Car Wash. Contrary to the name they serve  up some pretty mean mexican food. 

Elle on one of her many gondola rides in Telluride.

The Kirkendall's at the Pockrandt's in Red River, New Mexico. 

 A little more exposed than the gondola. Here is the pair on one of Red River's ski lifts. 

Elle and Sam at our second campsite on the way home. Although we gave it a good effort we did not make it through the night. We checked into a mountain lodge around midnight. It was too cold for little's and we just didn't have the proper gear to keep her warm. Worth the try nonetheless!

A great 8th month indeed!
