I went swimming for the first time today! Dada’s friend from work invited us to come swim and meet Lila, a super sweet girl who has been so excited to meet me. She wrote songs for me when I was in the hospital to help me feel better! I love playing in the bath tub so mom and dad thought I’d love the pool! I was a little uncertain at first but ended up enjoying it! It was a great first pool outing overall. Lila showed me all her cool toys and gave me a bunch of her toys from

Auntie Ronnie drove up for a quick visit and we had so much! We sang, we gabbed, we brunched! I love her lots!​

Today was a very busy, fun day! We went to a fun event at the Crocker Art Museum called “Baby Loves Art.” We met with our friends Priscilla, Matthew, and baby Joanna! Priscilla and my mom went to UCLA together and me and Joanna are only a week apart. Plus we’re both very special rainbow babies! It was my first time meeting Joanna and we were adorably synchronized! We were both interested in the same toys and sounds, and we both got hungry at the same time. I think we’re going to be good friends! Maybe we can both become

Auntie Lucy visited for a few days this week! She got me this cute onesie that says the title of this Elliegram and some fun sensory toys. We got some amazing auntie snuggle time in! She showed me some cool music like Beyoncé and Jhené Aiko. we played “auntie hair salon” and she did my hair soooo cute with little bows and picked out adorable outfits for me! I miss her already!

This past weekend, my parents’ friends visited me! Chris & Randi flew all the way from Dallas, TX and Ethan flew from LA. My mom says she missed Chris & Randi’s wedding this spring because I was about to be born… I was born only a week after their wedding!

Mom and dad have been friends with Chris and Ethan since high school! It’s so special they all keep in touch 13 years later.

Anyway, we had a GREAT TIME! I went to the Midtown Farmer’s Market for the first time, Oak Park Brewery, and Revolution, one of my

Mom forgot to post this earlier, but I got to meet my aunties Bridget and Arielle on their way home from Yosemite earlier this month! They brought me an awesome book called “Good Night, Great Outdoors.” I had lots of fun hanging with them before their big move to San Diego! Auntie Bridget just took the “BAR”, sounds like a smarty pants!

This week, I started physical therapy both at UCD and Alta Regional! It’s the best kind of appointment, I just get to play with cool toys and move around! They both said I’m doing GREAT and just gave me a few things to work on with stretching and trunk strength. I’m starting to like tummy time (for a little bit) and I’m getting good at grabbing toys! My wake windows are getting a little longer and I like to be entertained for most of them, so me and momma have a lot of fun during the day. I also love
