Tired Girl

I couldn't resist taking this picture one afternoon when Elsie was napping. She has her little tush up in the air and she is drooling. It is tiring to be a 10 month old. I am sure I will get grief about this photo when she is older, but it sure is cute.

Baths are so much fun!

Elsie is really a handful in the bathtub now that she can stand. She is also learning how to scoop up the water and splash it around. Note the University of Houston cup - what a little cougar!

Standing Now!

Check out the latest accomplishment! We can stand, but we still need to use at least one hand.

Bananas!

Elsie ate an entire banana in one morning! This was a big accomplishment for her as she is just started eating table food.

So cool - Shades Required

Just started wearing shades. They only last for a second or two, but they are adorable while they last. she already knows how to do "the look".

Daddy is TOO funny

Ever wonder what a daddy would do to make his little girl laugh? This video says it all. (Although, I don't know that daddy knows he is on the blog doing this yet.) Sssshhhhh!

Dancing Queen

Elsie's mommy and daddy had fun picking out her first big new toy now that Elsie is standing /pulling up. It is a leapfrog table with music and all kinds of stuff! It is really exciting. Elsie now dances to the music. Doesn't she look like she is doing a John Travolta move here? "You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life, oh oh oh, see that girl, watch that scene, digging the dancing queen, oh oh . . . "

Hanging with Daddy

Elsie thinks her Daddy is the cat's meow! Here she is with daddy doing what they do best dinner and slacking off. Needless to say, Elsie has her daddy wrapped around her little finger.

Elsie goes to her 1st party

Elsie went to Abby's birthday party at the park with her mom and dad and her grandparents. It was very exciting to be at a big girls party. Elsie dressed up in her finest outfit with matching shoes and hat! Too cute!

Buddies

Here is Elsie and her buddy Carl in a rare pose - sleeping! They are both usually so busy when they are at the Church nursery that they never sleep. It must be tiring to have such undivided attention from the nursery staff.
