little buddy

my little buddy and i are having a splendid saturday. she is even sitting in her little vibrating chair while i type this post right now as we speak, just cooing and giggling away while i get a chance to brag about her to the world. today we went to the farmer's market where she slept, beautifully, in her little sling while mama chatted and bought the most fabulous 'state fair' apples (mama's favorite time of year at market is apple time!) then we came home, had a good nurse under the ash tree out back, and decided to saddle up to go back downtown to meet dad who was working a booth at a children's fair for the school. right next to the children's fair was missoula's hempfest celebration. so missy and i packed up her stroller and headed downtown. she actually managed to enjoy her stroller for about fifteen minutes before she woke up and protested, demanding to be back in the sling in her favorite 'mimicing the womb' position. she then passed out with her little face pressed against, guess where, happily for the next few hours, letting mom wander around and mingle with all the folks about town. we then met her dad, hung with more of her fans, and finally, headed home. on the river trail walk home, miss big girl eliana actually slept in her carriage the whole way! she didn't even wake up when dad and mom were completely overtaken by massive amounts of griz fans. go griz! just kidding....it was actually the closest mom's ever been to actually participating in a griz game. and that was just enough for mom! but the real reason for this post is to put up these beauteous shots of miss thang in her little missoulaed out onesie, in her chair, happy as a peach, the best bucket ever.
