Hanging out...

This weekend we went hiking in the Columiba River Gorge. It was a short drive from Portland to a place called Latourell Falls. and although it rained a little bit, the weather mostly cooperated. We tried out the baby backpack, and Ellie seemed to like it fine! We hiked for about 2.5 miles. Here we are taking a quick break at the upper falls.

And here are the lower falls.
Eliana mostly seems to have a good appetite. At the same time, she seems to get bored of certain foods. Peanut butter sandwiches, which used to be a big hit, don't seem to appeal to her anymore. The current favorite food is scrambled eggs.

And hanging out consists of letting Eliana roam around the (what we hope is) child-proof family room. Since she has gotten so good at cruising around the furniture, that's what she mostly likes doing. Here she is around the coffee table.

And one last thing that is very fun for her is to give us her toys. She'll offer it even if we don't ask for it. Usually, after we take it, she claps for herself (in this case, because she has to hold on to Mommy's hand, she slaps her leg) with a big smile.

I can't wait to go hiking and camping with you guys when we come up in July. How far is Vancouver to Portland? Get ready for a slew of emails with all sorts of questions when I start packing!
