Aquarium!

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend even though the weather was gloomy and rainy.  Since we couldn't do anything outdoors, we decided to take a trip to the aquarium.  I was a little apprehensive taking Elise, but she did great.  Here are some pics from our little day trip.


Elise with her daddy, grandma and grandpa.


Elise is busy people-watching!


Pretty fishies!


HUGE crabs!


Really interesting looking fish - I can't remember what kind they are. :)


After a long day looking at fish!



In other news, Elise is in the beginning stages of crawling.  She has gotten really good at going backwards and rocking so I have a feeling in about a week she will be unstoppable.  YIKES! 



That's all for now!

6 Month Photos!

A couple weeks ago we had Elise's 6 month photos taken. Don't mind the little scab on her nose - she scraped it on the side of her pack n play a couple days before the photo shoot. :) Hope you enjoy!

My First Mother's Day!

I have to admit, I felt a little weird celebrating Mother's Day last Sunday.  I mean, I know full well that I am a mom to the most precious little angel, but for the past 28 years of my life, I have spent the day as a child, showering my mom!  Greg and Elise made my first Mother's Day so special that I am already looking forward to next year! :)  A gourmet breakfast and a beautiful necklace, not to mention a beautiful, healthy daughter - what more could I ask for!? 


Mommy and Baby!

Our Little Family!


Trying out her new big girl car seat!


She seems to really like it!


Today is my dad's birthday - his first one as a grandpa!  Happy Birthday, Dad!  We love you!!


Grandpa - since I can't talk yet, I thought this sign would be a good way to wish you a Happy Birthday! :)



Love,

6 Months Old!

Can you believe Elise is six months old already?! Where does the time go? Elise has been sitting up by herself and has even started waving bye-bye. It seems like she is doing something new every day which is very exciting. ;) We took Elise to her six month-well visit this morning and she weighs 18 pounds, 2 ounces and is 28 inches long, which puts her in the 90th percentile for weight and 97th percentile for height! The doctor gave her a great report and hopes to not have to see her till her 9 month appointment. I hope you enjoy some new pictures of our little angel!


Sitting up in her crib like a big girl!


Playing in her pack n play with her favorite buddy, Cookie Monster!

Enjoying time with her grandparents!
PS - Thanks Aunty Marianthe for my new dress...it's my favorite summer outfit!! :)


This is not a good sign - she's holding cardboard from a case of beer!!! :)



Enjoying sweet dreams!



That's all for now. Thanks for enjoying the past 6 months with us!!
