4th of July Fun

Two posts in 3 days, can you believe it? Trust me, reading this whole post will be worth it, big accomplishments at the end!

July 3rd, we went to Grandpa Gary & Grandma Joann's for a pool party! Eleanora got to try out her new floater and, as you can tell, she thought it was pretty awesome!




Her cousin Sophie got to see Eleanora for the first time since she visited us in the hospital,



Ellie was pretty smitten with her,



The 4th we went to the farm to celebrate Justin Gatti's 1st birthday. Grandma couldn't resist Eleanora's plea for cake, and man did she enjoy it!



"Please Grandma, can I have some more?"



She took full advantage of the birthday boy abandoning his new gifts to get his diaper changed,



Swinging with Daddy,



We took her to meet the horses, she was thrilled at first, then one sort of blew out of his nose right on her face and it scared her!



Then we went to the other Grandpa's pool, which was less crowded than the day before, and she just got to hang out,



She's an awesome swimmer! Kicks her legs and splashes her arms across the pool (luckily she didn't inherit her Dad's swimming skills!)



Enjoying her first popsicle with Mommy while waiting for the fireworks to start,





She was not too impressed with the fireworks, in fact a little frightened at first, but she warmed up to them and was clapping by the end. Watching with Daddy,



Cutie in her jammies,



Finally enjoying the fireworks,



And the highlight of her first 4th of July, her FIRST STEPS!!!



For weeks she's been on the brink, but never had the courage to move her feet. Last night before the fireworks she decided to take 3 wobbly steps! Daddy was glad he got to see them, he was sure that his first day of work is when she would decide to take her first steps.
