Peek-a-BOO

Elyse thinks she is tricking me and she hides under the crib. I frantically look around as if I can't find her. Finally I lift up the crib skirt and there she is. She errupts in this innocent childish laughter that is priceless! This is one of her favorite games, we can do this for hours.

Big Daddy and Lola

Elyse hates to get her diaper changed. So we wrestle and she usually wins and runs away with the diaper so I can't restrain her. She really loves to let it all hang out!

Elyse's newest hair accessories:)

Kylie and Elyse

My friend Lindsey's baby was born about 2 weeks before Elyse. We hadn't seen them since I was on maternity leave. So we got to visit with them again. It was interesting to observe the two. They seemed to have two different personalities. Elyse is talkative and active. While Kylie enjoys sitting down and playing with her toys and not getting into too much mischief. We enjoyed ourselves though. It was very nice to get some time to visit with another mom:)

We visited Aunt Donna and went swimming in her pool. Elyse was so active in the water, we thought she was going to swim away. She would not stop splashing herself and everyone around her. She got a lot of water in her face but the fact that she was semi-choking didn't really deter her from continuing.

I did have a wonderful visit though. Her daughter Anna loves babies and so she takes care of Elyse while I get some down time.

These shoes were made for walking.....

Elyse needed some new shoes so she could walk around. She is into everything. My favorite is when she walks to me with her arms open and attempts to give me a BIG hug. But most of the time I am not so lucky, because she is very independent and wants to do it all one her own. Interesting that I am the very same way, when sometimes we just need a little bit of help:)
