My Illegitimate Child » Trapeze http://www.myillegitimatechild.com A blog about Jon, Liz, their illegitimate child.

This evening marked my first foray back into the land of pull ups, callused hands, ripped up feet, knees and ankles and the oh so exciting “I can’t move in the morning ” soreness.  I have to say that tonight wasn’t as bad as my very first trapeze lesson, but it was ridiculously frustrating since I used to be able to do just about anything and now can barely climb the rope.  They say that after you have a baby your strength comes back pretty quickly because of that beautiful muscle memory business but my abs and arm muscles are basically non existent  right now.  I am however, lucky enough to have the world’s best trapeze teacher, none other than Niff Nicholls!  She was so encouraging and supportive as I struggled to do what used to be so easy for me.  Elziebub joined me and was a real trooper for the most part.  Everyone took turns holding her when she got fussy and after class was over Niff and I rigged up the fabric and had a little photo shoot!

Here are a few pics from the last few days.

How cute is this hat?!!?

This is just about as cute as it gets.  I LOVE when she does this.

Just three seconds before this photo was being a total TERROR.  You would never guess it by how angelic she looks in this photo.

Look at that identical hand placement.  What a daddy’s girl!

This was one of those days where we were rushing to get out of the house but had to stop for the photo op!

Elzie is smiling like crazy now and cooing all over the place.  It’s so amazing to hear her little voice.  I really hope she can sing as beautifully as her dad can!

I hope everyone enjoyed the photos! I really can’t believe that Elzie is already 2 months old.  Where has the time gone?

Check out her awesome performance!

Niff, you wanted a post…well here you go :)
