Elizabeth Meets the Cottontail Tree

I haven't had much of a chance to take Elizabeth on the cottonwood trail because it's a bit of a walk to get there, and I only very recently upgraded to a stroller that will hold all three. One sunny day back in April when Addie was at school, I loaded Elizabeth and Emily up in the double stroller and took them to the Cottonwood Trail. Of course I stopped at my favorite tree to take some pictures.



While Elizabeth wasn't standing on her own yet back in April (it's something she's just very recently started doing), I was able to kind of lean her against the tree to make it look like she was standing....

Big Sis Emily wanted in on the posing... (so funny that Emily is now the big girl at this tree. Two years ago, she was the little one next to Callie, and Addie was wearing the dress Elizabeth is wearing.)

My little strawberry beauty.

Precious pic of Em. The funny thing is, she's pretending to scratch her back on the bark of the tree like Baloo in the Jungle Book.
Oh, and the "cottontail" thing. Emily's nickname for the cottonwood trees is "cottontail trees." She's become pretty fascinated with them in the last month or so because of their flying fluff, and wants me to point them out to her when we're driving around.

So glad I was able to finally take Elizabeth's picture next to one of my favorite trees. Last month I found this pretty little thing on Craigslist...a Joovy Big Caboose. Two seats with a sit n stand for the third. Since then, Elizabeth's seen the cottonwood trail several times, but I haven't had a chance to do a photo shoot with all three by The Tree. It will come.
