she’s quite the little lovebug in this house! we have been so amazed with how she’s found her little spot in the family.. how she just meshes with us/our routines so well…we love her!!! 🙂 here’s what she’s like:
crawls around almost all day, investigating things around the house.. not toys, but papers/books/cords (unplugged of course!) tupperware/boxes of food/etc. she’s not a bit interested in the christmas tree, fireplace or stairs.. so we’ve lucked out there.
she’s into dropping things when she’s up high (in her high chair or if you’re holding her) to see it fall and to see if you will fetch it for her.
she is totally in love with bananas. could eat them up whole if i would let her.
will make a mad dash for anyone who has food or drinks.. particularly a diet coke can or silver starbucks thermos or starbucks cup in general! haha- crazy that she knows what starbucks is already! 🙂
will grab anyone’s jewelry/watches or eyeglasses if nearby.
loooves her bath.
has been liking falling asleep in our bed. doesn’t want us to snuggle her, just likes to fall asleep there and then is transported to her bed.
been doing the EARLY morning wake up again.. eeek.. it’s still dark out and she is all smiles and ready to go!
has to have her little robeez on because she will pull her socks off immediately– as well as hats/hoods/beanies. 😦 — my photo ops of her in beanies are over!
if you get a phone call and hear a baby babbling, it’s very likely it’s her- she calls people on my cell phone all the time. 🙂
really is low maintenance. 🙂 🙂 🙂 really doesn’t need much. no expensive toys. some crackers, her sippy cup, maybe a book… and a laundry basket. 🙂
not kidding. she loves them and will stay in them for quite awhile. will even cry when you take her out.
that’s our girl. 🙂


doesn’t get much better than that!!!

I have never commented on her. I love reading this blog though. Your little girl is just sooo adorable. I mean your entire family is. Your Elsie reminds me of my Karigan. Very low maintenence. At nine months she was much the same. Love your work.
