update

I haven't updated this ol thing in a while. I honestly am losing my desire to, but I know I will regret it one day of I don't record what is going on in our life and all of Elise's milestones. I was so diligent with Leyton and I love looking back and seeing what he was doing at different points and I know I will want the same for baby girl.

We are walking everywhere! She began walking about 2 weeks after her birthday. She caught on so fast and quit crawling completely within 4 days. She is into everything and leaves a path of destruction behind her everywhere she goes.

Dancing. Perhaps the cutest thing ever. I NEED to capture this on video.

Elise has had a huge language explosion. She is chattering constantly and tries to imitate us all the time. Some of her new words:

cracker ("qua-kah") she draws it out and says it slow. It is adorable. Every food item is a cracker.

water ("wa-wa")

bottle ("bah-bah")

diaper ("pi-pah")

puppy ("puppah"). Every living thing that is not a person is a puppy to her. Cows, deer, birds, you name it.

ball ("baaawl") She drags her words out like the true Southern Belle that she is.

Leyton ("yeh-yeh")

She loves to eat and is now on table foods. Her current favorites are crackers with hummus, cheese, cantaloupe, banana and has so far done well with most things I cook.

She goes non-stop all day long. She is just absolutely precious and we are enjoying every minute with her. 

Here are some recent pics...
