Week 52

Tomorrow E turns one!
I can hardly believe it.

She is one busy baby

 
and I'm sure she'll be one very busy toddler too!

Now that she is just about waking, we find her almost always in this sumo squat position, which is sometime mistaken for us thinking she is filling her pants!

I am just about done with her quiet book and other birthday projects, so stay tuned for upcoming pictures!

Week 51

Elsa has become quite the little dancer- it's mostly all in her arms! She really started while at the beach with her cousin. They would bang on the piano toy, Elsa would dance, and Dulany would sing. We got a few videos and pictures of her dancing.



 
 
 
Not sure if she is trying to dance or if she is just really excited about the music!

Week 50

Wow, week 50 already?!? 

Hard to believe she will be a year old in less than 2 weeks.

This week brought two things....

1.  We had a breakthrough yesteray. 

E finally picked up her sippy cup and drank from it.
Yes, this has been a struggle. 
She usually picks it up and throws it on the floor. 
Will it happen again, probably not, but I can always hope.


2.   Now on to the next battle....eating. 


  She had finally started to eat a lot better.  But as of the last few days she refuses to let me feed her anything. She wants to feed herself, which is great, but she only has about 3 bites and plays with the rest. I've been trying to cut her bottles down so she is hungry but it has resulted in her waking up at night hungry.

So, meals take a loooong time and we dont get much out of them (besides a still hungry and messy child).  I can't lie- I am getting a little stressed about getting her off the bottle and getting enough food into her through out the day. Let's all hope this is just a little phase she is going through that passes quickly!

Week 49

We got the pool out for some fun this morning... 
(there is another new post below this one)

First thing she did was dunk her face into the water

and then quickly came up like she wasn't sure that was what she really wanted to do!

But she did it again, but this time she blew bubbles

and thought it was pretty funny!

Finally she dives into the pool.


 
I think she misses the beach and all the water by how excited she was to be in the pool today....

Week 48-from the Outer Banks


 
                             That crab almost became E's lunch. She took a good look at it and then it went straight to her mouth!

 
Playing with cousin Dulany



E found a replacement for Laddie's water dish!

 E loves the surf!

week 47


Yesterday I learned that I now have to keep the bathroom door shut at all times because she likes to go in there and flush the toilet. I was quite surprised when I was in there brushing my teeth and she crawled over and did it.   I am hoping this was just a one day thing and that she will have forgotten about it today. She has always liked to take things out of their containers and toss them everywhere and her new container of choice is the laundry basket....

Elsa now refuses to wear her bib and she likes to have her own spoon and something else in her other hand. Most meals look like this....

E stripped down 

because she ends up wearing most of her food

Then she keeps Laddie company while he searches for any leftovers!

Week 46 and a birthday shout out!

Elsa's new thing....not sure what she is trying to do but she's pretty cute doing it!










Grams would stretch and touch her head and then her toes and Elsa would do the same. After that, we kept catching her randomly putting her hands behind her head. 






We also wanted to wish 
Aunt Sally 
a
VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
We heard you were hard at work today but we hope you get to have some fun too!!! XOXO

Boxes...getting out of them is still a little tricky

Sorry, it's sideways once again...you'd think I'd remember to take the video with the camera the correct way


just a cute picture to throw in the mix

and...

Remember the video of  Elsa feeding Laddie? This is now standard after each meal for him.
