Farewell Keuka

What a week!  It was so nice to be away and to experience our first big family vacation with Colton and Elizabeth.  I must admit, while there are many words I will use to describe our fun trip, relaxing probably isn't one of them.  We were in a relaxing place, and have some moments of relaxation, but vacation with two under one is quite an adventure.

One of the unexpected highlights of our trip is what Colton and Elizabeth did during the week -- things that made us smile, laugh, and love them even more...


Elizabeth...
- Smiles, smiles and more gave smiles!  She had smiles for everyone, especially Aunt   Leigh
- Can get loud -- she probably learned from Colton
- Spent more time sitting up and playing with toys -- especially the yellow ball
- Noticed her cousin and he finally resisted the urge to make her cry

Colton...
- Really moves now -- he has a high powered crawl and is on his feet more than ever
- Started to show his top two teeth -- you can really see them now
- Began to mimic us by making the same sounds, clucks, or faces following our lead    (it's really hysterical to see)
- Shakes his head "no" when he doesn't want something

Belly... need I say anything else about this photo?

Our farewell dinner - Colton did great (again)!
