baby shower

Elli and I went to a baby shower today for a good friend of mine - Shannon. It was a sweet time. I think she really felt honored by what she received and the support she was given. Elli did so good! I went early and helped set up, and she just sat in the middle of the floor and played with her toys! The accoustics were really good, so she shouted and sang a lot to herself:

Mom and I made the cake for the shower (chocolate girl is supposed to look like the mom-to-be) (I have better pics, mom- I just don't feel like uploading another right now):

Elli and I (she doesn't smile for the camera like she used to, and yes, she has a bruise on her cheek - she's learning to stand and get around -it's a hard world out there! ) (and I was hot and have a balloon growing out of my head...oh well):
