Red Hat

Elsie is very into hats and wanted me to post a picture of her new favorite one. She picked this one out to go with her new bathing suit and because it matched mommy's. Also, here is a better picture of her in her polka dot bathing suit complete with matching skirt. Does it get much cuter than this?

Bathing Beauty

Well, here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for - Elsie in her bathing suit! She had a great time in the water, although she said it was a little cold for her since it just rained. Her friends Benton and Gabriel (pictured) came over, with their parents of course, and they all went for a swim. Elsie can't wait for everyone to come over and "swim" with her in the pool.

Summer Bonnet

Well, the days are getting hotter here in Houston and a girl needs her bonnet whenever she ventures out of the house. This is Elsie in just one of her many hats. This one is actually a sun hat that can be used in the pool. Watch out! Elsie already has a bathing suit and she is ready to go for a dip. It is not a bikini, but let's just say it has polka dots on it. Picture forthcoming . . .

Five Months

Well, mommy is a little behind in posting this photo of Elsie at five months. But here she is, in a beautiful dress made by her Grandma Wire. Would you check out that smocking? Amazing. Elsie really likes that the dress is long so she can kick it with her feet - what fun!
