First Stop on the East Coast Coastal Tour - Newport

Our best buds Auntie Nina and Uncle Rich got married over Memorial Day weekend in Newport. Wow - that place is beautiful! We were lucky enough that Grammy and Poppa joined us for the weekend, and our good friends Mitch, Kelly, Riley and Morgan live in Newport also, so we were able to see them as well! Such a fun trip!

Mommy and Daddy got to see just how beautiful Newport is when I woke up at 5:15 am our first day there. This is the sunrise out our window.

Walking in downtown Newport with Grammy.

Snuggling.

This girl decided she really like to hug me. I have no idea who she is.

Then these huge dogs showed up. So fun! (Yes, she's still hugging).

And still hugging.

Family pic. It was such a beautiful day!

Chillin' in Newport.

Sharing snacks with my new huggy friend.

We got to see the lobsters!

We also visited Daddy's college friend Todd while we were there.

And Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Bob! It seems like everyone is in Newport!

While Mommy got ready with Auntie Nina, we went on a picnic.

So fun!

I love baby Morgan.

Wow. I could so live here!

Riding with Riley.

I loved Riley's baby doll. I've become a little obsessed with babies recently.

On the beach, close to where Daddy used to live!

Even though I wasn't there, here's a picture of Mommy and Daddy at the wedding :)

Chillin' with Mama

We're baaaaack! Sorry for the hiatus folks, but we've been on vacation! We just arrived back from an amazing week at the beach. Pictures will follow shortly, but first we have to catch up on previous pics!

Mom and I have been hanging out during her break between jobs. It's been so much fun! We spent some time at Clemyjontri, an amazing park (where I learned to love the swings) and then visited the Playseum. Enjoy the pics!

Swingin' with buds Olivia and Eli. I wasn't so sure at first, but then didn't want to stop!

I looooooved the carousel.

I said "Neigh, neigh" the whole time. I was so upset when we had to leave the horse that we spent a long time saying goodbye to all the horseys!

Hi!

Peek-a-boo!

Olivia and I driving.

Grocery shopping at the playseum.

Shooting hoops.

Doing the laundry. I help mommy with this a lot :)

Back on the swings!

As you can see, some days Mama got very bored and decided she needed to do strange things to my hair.

Visiting Great Nana

We took advantage of Mom's time off in between jobs to visit Great Nana! It's been almost a year since Ella has seen her Great Nana, so needless to say, she has changed quite a bit. Instead of holding a tiny baby, Great Nana had to deal with a toddler exploring every corner of her house!

Hunting for Missy. Missy is Great Nana's cat. Ella was obsessed with Missy and constantly called for "meh y." We spent a lot of time looking for the cat, and the cat spent the entire time hiding from Ella.

Ella, of course, loved the duck.

Exploring Great Nana's backyard. As soon as Ella saw it, she said "Wowwww!"

Ella's Got Moves!

Check out some of Ella's great dance moves :)

Baby Charlie and More!

This weekend we went to visit Charlie - the newborn baby of our good friends Stephanie and Scott! What a sweetie!

Ella, however, was not so impressed with the baby, and was much more interested in picking strawberries in the backyard.

Huey the dog helped out.

Ella was quite taken with Huey.

Some other pics from the past week. The sunlight really highlights her baby mullet :)

Mama puts on the books on the shelf. Ella takes all the books off the shelf. An endless cycle.

Still a messy eater. But so cute!!
