Four years old

walkie walkerton

Oh my gosh, my kid is WALKING! It is truly a bittersweet moment of parenthood, You relize that the babay is a baby no more. My Elyse is so funny--she cracks me up every day.

There are no words

This photo defies all words. So. freaking. AWESOME!

Professor Zing Zang

The kid has more nicknames than anyone I know! Elyse C., Ely, Buzz Buzz, Buzzard, Turtle, Bug, Boober, Professor Zing Zang (Jason's creation after a Bloody Mary Mix!)

She is so awesome! She started sitting up on her own around my birthday. Her pediatrician said she should not be able to do that yet and was quite impressed. Since we have known she was a child genius since birth, we were not surpised at the report.

People randomly stop us to tell us how cute she is, then she will flash her toothless grin and make them swoon even more! She has made lots of friends via our play groups and Gymboree! Life is fabulous with this little girl!

Family Pictures

Oh, I have been SO bloody busy! We turned a corner and I have been fully sucked in to the mommy vortex and mommy mafia!! Elyse and I have joined two playgroups and are members of the Children's Museum and GYMBOREE!! I sing and blow bubbles and havejust fully surrendered. Elyse is the best kid on the planet. Jason and I marvel about how lucky we are. Check out the gorgeous pictures Ande took!! This was June 12...

Smiles!

She is smiling! She does what we call the "silent laugh" and has this big sh^tty grin across her face and busts the gums out. My god, she is gorgeous!!

14 weeks and cuter than ever!

She is so adorable!! She loves to stand on her chubby little legs and check out the world. She is sleeping for HUGE stretches now--we are so happy. We give her a bath around 8 pm and she is usually down by 9. She sleeps from then until 3:30 then takes a bottle and sleeps until 7am!! She loves her balloon and her jumper. I swear she said BALLOON last Thursday--Valerie, her babysitter, heard it too!

In FABULOUS other news, I am going to be an AUNTIE! Ande and Jen are expecting!! We are so excited--our Christmas is going to be so awesome!

Easter

Here are the pics from Easter. We had a fab time at bruch! This weekend we took Elyse to San Antonio! She hit the Riverwalk and Sea World at the ripe old age of 10 weeks. We had a great time, I will post pics soon!

Easter!

We had such a wonderful Easter with the family! Elysie and I spent the weekend in Spring with Grammy and Papa Dawg. Jason joined us Saturday and the whole family went to brunch Sunday. Elyse looked so CUTE it was ridiculous!!
