Hiking in Yellowstone with Dad

Crawling Position

Ilsa learned to get herself into crawling position today, but continues to grin, rev her engine and spin her wheels when she gets there.

Sitting Up

Ilsa learned to keep her balance sitting up today.

Thinking about crawling

Close encounter on the Madison

Eric came within inches of stepping on this guy on the Madison the other day.  Just another day at the office.

Reunion w/ dad

After being apart for a few weeks Ilsa & Sappy were content to just hang out w/ dad in Grandma & Grandpa Paulson's fifth wheel trailer in Billings. 

Montana Women's Run 2009

We travelled to Billings to meet up w/ Keri for the Montana Women's Run & our maiden voyage in the hand-me down jogging stroller.  We also got to visit w/ the Falks after the race.  It was incredible to be able to run outdoors again - Ilsa loved the stroller almost as much as I enjoyed pushing it.   

Grandma Maus' Birthday

 

Just a few photos from Grandma Maus' Birthday Party.  Ilsa, Sap & I rode the Razor over for the BBQ where we played horseshoes & hung out w/ her cousins.  Her cousin James was there too of course but left for a nap before heading to his other grandparents for the evening.

Great Expectations

I get this look a lot...since Eric has been gone guiding on the Big Horn again for the Spring season, I have found that my entourage has come to expect my entertainment alone which, believe me, entertaining these two can be a big task.  We are really looking forward to Eric coming home to add to the entertainment.  

Getting Mobile

Please don't hold me accountable for my dull commentary in the video.  Ilsa has been rolling over for over a month now, but is finally rolling multiple times in a row and actually going places to grab at things that she wants to play with.
