Getting Ready For Florida

We are so excited about our vacation in just a few weeks.  We were out at Walmart tonight getting Elle some new running shoes.  Her bf Charlie had some cute shoes on at our church social and since Elle's feet have finally started to grow and she is trying to stand and shuffling around furniture we thought we would get her some new shoes.  While we were there we picked up a few other things.

Little Swimmers were on sale so we picked up a pack for Florida.  We are counting on the weather to be warm enough to swim since Elle LOVES swimming.  When we got home we decided to try her bathing suits on.

The above bathing suit is up to 9 months and the top was rather tiny on our chunky monkey.  Matt reminded me though that cousin Melissa also bought her a bathing suit so we tried it and it fits perfect.  Look how cute! 

Her hair was terrible from having her hat on so we thought this hat matched the one shoulder look.  Haha

Noah, from Noah and the Ark was also present! :)

Finally, this week Elle was interested in my glass of water.  She wanted it so badly that I let her try drinking from a cup.  Luckily it was water since she covered herself in it.  Since she was so intent on it I thought I would try her again with her sippy cup from Nana and Grandad.  She was loving it.  Don't mind the fact that she has no clothes on...it was just easier to wipe her down. :)

She was so proud of herself but the Gator cup is still a little advanced for her so we bought her a more age appropriate one at Walmart.  As soon as we got home she tried it out.  Look at  how big she is!!!

Can you say TODDLER?  She doesn't look like a baby anymore.
