Bath time fun!!!

This girl loves her bathes!!! We are so lucky to have such an easy going daughter

Great baby, terrible sleeper

Our baby is completely healthy and such a happy baby! I'm assuming God did not want to make all the other mommies jealous so He made her a terrible sleeper so that we would stay humble. And tired obviously. She is no doubt the biggest blessing we have been given. Our little blessing just did not come with an 'off' mode. or not one that we can find consistently. She doesn't sleep at day care for more than 30 minutes at a time, doesn't sleep soundly at night. She doesn't get the amount of sleep that her age should get...

So to look at the monitor and see this is like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow:

Breakfast with Elise

Just us two girls chatting over breakfast. What a wonderful Saturday morning

Growing up

Seems like once Elise hit the three/four month mark, she really started growing up fast. The first several months were just eating sleeping and pooping. (Just like everyone jokes about!)
Now every day is a new adventure and new milestone. Here's a little bit of what is new for Elise:

She can almost sit up by herself without toppiling over. She also loves her feet and they are constantly in her mouth

She started being fed rice cereal and baby food! So far we have tried : peaches, sweet potatoes and tonight we are planning on green beans!

She gets tired and passes out after too much play. This is photo evidence from day care.  

We had our first boo-boo. You can't really see it, but she has a little red mark on her forehead from where a clipboard fell on her. It actually happened at Day care while I was still there - I can testify it was a complete freak accident. To say the least, mommy was tardy going to work that day. Not going to leave my baby upset like that!



She is now sleeping on her tummy in her own bed. (in her own room) That's like 3 new things at once! I'm actually pretty proud of us considering we didnt think she would sleep in her own room until she was 10



The many names of Elise

She's been here 5 months and has really racked up quite a few nicknames in that short of time. Here is a list of our favorites:
