And, by-the-skin-of-my-teeth, I barely remembered to take her monthly pictures that day (hence the poor lighting :-)
They are getting harder and harder with her movements!
This gal takes 2-3 naps a day, and goes to bed between 8-9 p.m. (and has developed a desire to want to eat once in the middle of the night which I am trying to break her of). One thing is for sure, she can sleep anywhere!
She is doing well at night, usually sleeping about 8-9 hours before she needs to eat again!
Elise has a new-found obsession with her feet!
I failed to catch her having both her hand and foot in her mouth...this mommy wasn't fast enough!
E has been logging in some bounce time in her jumperoo. She doesn't look enthused in this pic, but she has enjoyed recently learning that her feet can touch the floor :-)
She is also an avid Bumbo fan :-)
and I think it has accelerated her desire to sit more on her own
She has had some clingier days, but I'll take them!
And the boys have been clingier with her (ha!). No, really, it is the sweetest thing ever to watch your older kids bond with your baby. Blake calls Elise, "My baby." He always wants to hold her and check in on her at night when I'm feeding her and putting her to bed. The sweetest!
And JW has started interacting with her on his own, and not for attention. He's taking and running with the Big Brother role, and it is great to witness. As I said when I captioned this photo on Facebook, Elise will always be entertained by her brothers, whether she wants to be or not :-)
Case in point...hashtag, little sis problems
The boys often dress up, and we received this crown headband from my sister-in-law and her girls. So, Jameston always wants her to wear it when they are pretending to be "good guys" and saving their princess
She is rolling both ways but is very content like this. Can't handle the cutest of this chubby cherub!
We went to Austin to visit family, and the littlest cousins bonded. Elise and Claire
While the oldest cousin wanted to help E learn to sit on her own
She napped so sweetly while at Granny and Papa's (and with all the noise :-)
Mommy helped out with VBS in late July, so Elise had her first days in the church nursery. Clearly, she loved it!
Our poor girl seems to have some allergy issues, as we are going on two weeks of congestion and a dry cough. No fun! We haven't started anything for it, will look into it at her 6-month check up.
We love our Lisey Faye!
I'll post about her 1/2 year mark before you know it :-)
