a quarter of a year!




here we sit: elise and her mama. i can't believe she's been in our lives for four months already! (by the way i was going for the drama with the title of this post-could you tell?!). as i type this one-handed (and yes, i've gotten quite good at it) she's snuggling on my lap, holding her finger, relaxing after a full feeding (...and then she spits up!). even while i fed her this morning i could see the growth she has made. i held up my hand and she held up hers to mine, as if to compare the size. then she grabbed one of my fingers at a time, meticulously focusing on each one.



we just finished a little four month photo shoot. i'm amazed at how she sat up in the chair and could hold her balance for the most part all by herself. you'll also notice how much her hands are in her mouth...another dead giveaway of her age.

as she now grabs my fingers, shoves them into her mouth, and utters a few wonderful baby noises, i realize i must go--it's time to play! check out some video from her play time on the mat! (this is my first video post...i hope it works!)
