A family photo

While we were torturing Elsie with photographs we decided to make the whole family suffer.

Easter

We had a very low key Easter here in Kansas. We got dressed up and went to church (which we do every week any way). Then we came home and tried to take photos of Elsie in her cute dress...but it did not go so well. These are the best we got since she no longer stays still for photo time.

A basket full of toys

We keep a bunch of Elsie's toys in a small basket in the living room. Lately she has been climbing into the basket of toys. Isn't she so cute??

Fun in the Park

We had a little spell of nice weather again and we took advantage of it and went to a park. Elsie seems to like to keep her mouth wide open while she is out side. Here she is on the swing at the park. She loved it and was giggling as she swung back and forth.

Playgroup

As many of you know we go to a playgroup each week. Even though this has been happening most of Elsie's life I have not documented it until now!! Here she is trying to escape being in the photo with her little friends. We have lots of fun and do lots of different things. We are all looking forward to the warmer weather when we can go for walks in the many parks near by.

Elsie's game

About a month ago Elsie started playing a head tilting game. She begins by tilting her head so her ear goes towards her shoulder. Then we mimic her and she gives us a big smile. Next she stands her head back up and then tilts to the other side and again we mimic her. We tilt back and forth for a while until she gets tired of it. Her favorite time to play this game is while she is eating.

Our newest adventure

I never imagined how quickly Elsie would figure things out. Ever since she has started to move it seems like she can do anything!! Her latest thing is climbing up the one stair to the landing in front of our door. She can not climb the regular stairs yet as there is not enough room on the step for her abilities. But I am sure that will be coming soon too!

Valentines Day

Valentines day has come and gone but here is Elsie in her out fit for the holiday.

Playing with Daddy

I just love to watch Will come up with more and more crazy things to do with our poor Elsie. I keep telling him to be careful and so far nothing bad has happened.
