Sweet Elise

We are in trouble. Big trouble. First, we learned that Elise really wants a cell phone. Already! Your only 4 1/2 months old. We expected this in middle school, but not now. Second, we have a little mover. She has been rolling all around for a few weeks, but today she started scooting. She began this morning by scooting backwards across the blanket in our front yard. Then this evening she decided she wanted mom’s cell phone, so she army crawled / scooted her way forward as you can see below.

I just love when babies sleep with their little bums in the air. It is one of her favorite sleeping positions. And she also loves to suck on her two middle fingers to put herself to sleep. Oh I could just eat her up!

So remember the little cowlick she had as a newborn? Well funny thing is, all her long dark baby hair fell out in the last few weeks except the cowlick hair. Ya, weird huh?! I thought it started looking kind of ridiculous to have a bald baby with just one long piece of hair growing out the side. Kent, loving father that he is, did not want to cut it because it was a unique part of Elise, but I thought it should go. I have an Aunt Teresa who will not allow her family member to sport unbecoming hair styles so last week while watching Elise she cut it off. Yeah for Aunt Teresa.

We also call Elise our 'little gopher' because when she wakes up she doesn't cry, she just pops her head up and looks around the room.

Then when she spots somebody she gives them a big smile.

Elise is a super chill and happy baby. She smiles all the time and is a super good sport when it comes to surviving her older sisters loving. We love having her around.

We love her smiles, and the joy she brings us!
