base jumping

Eleri jumped off this rock in Yankee Boy Basin about a hundred times. And it never got less cute. She likes to count these days, and a good thing too. It's the only thing that keeps her from launching off rocks, or the side of the pool without someone being there to catch her.

imitation is the highest form of flattery....

Brought to you by the letter "D"

Eleri's list of words continues to expand. Just this last week she decided to start saying "mama", which warms my heart. She also has started to say "up", "help" (which sound the same), "water", "eleri". The most prolific words, though, are of her own design -- all of which start with the letter "D". "dawa", "dewiss", "dewhadis", "dow"(cow), "do"(go), "dall"(ball). And she can string them together, "da da da doooo". She continues to be very selective about which words she chooses to say ("boba", "no"), and those which she has no interest in saying, but could probably say easily ("nap", "more"). Go figure.



Last weekend we had fun in Ouray with Becky, Drew and Debbie. Did some hiking, soaking, and lounging. Here's some pics and vid.
