Are you almost a YEAR already????

I am a slacker mother, more commonly known as a busy mother. Elise has been equally as busy she learned to say mother(in which her dad and I wiped our brows with relief. I thought for sure is would have been the A-S-S word). Elise likes to say dad, grandpa, anna, b-bye and a lot of sounds that might sound like she is trying to talk like older people. She learned to crawl recently and that has been both fun, sad and frustrating. The worst part of her getting bigger that she has learned to pull herself up in her crib. When she isn't ready for bed she pulls herself to standing position shakes her bed and begins yelling to let us know that "I'm Not SLEEPING".

Elise got her first tooth the weekend before Thanksgiving, and the second broke through last night. The third one is WELL on it's way. She claps her hands, waves goodbye, and bounces to music she likes. I thought I would post a few of my favorite pictures in the last few months. She has a habit of me getting pictures with her and things on her head.

The first pic is Elise with her first weekend away from Mom and dad in Sept. The second was about 3 weeks ago. Her first trip to Wienerschnitzel and her first corndogs. The last one was in October...for some reason she was trying to put the PJ bottoms on her head. She couldn't get it right so i helped her out. I laughed for an hour, and she was happy to have them on her head.
