Little Helper

There is one drawer in the kitchen Elise can play with.

She likes to empty the dish towels out, and put them back...sometimes.

I love wathcing Elise move around. She's getting so good at standing and maneuvering to get what she wants.

She also loves to pose for the camera!!!

Watching Daddy shovel snow

We had about 10 inches of snow on Sunday, and Logan went outside to shovel the parking spot, and dig out the car. Elise went over to the window, lifted the curtain over her head and stood up. She stood there and watched him the whole time he was shoveling. She usually doesn't have a very long attention span, but she could look out the window almost all day long. She loves to wave at Daddy, and kept waving, every time he turned towards her, and sometimes when he wasn't looking.

The view from inside.....


The view from outside!!



Then we took Elise outside in the snow. She was ok while Daddy was holding her.....


But didn't really like being in the snow herself!

Happy Birthday Elise!!!

Elise loves balloons!!!

We've taken pictures with this bear every month since Elise was 2 months old. She's certainly grown a lot since then!!

I made Elise this cake from a book we got from Logan's sister Tifiny at Christmas. It was a lot of fun, and Elise really liked all the colors! She found frosting too sweet, but the cake part, and the animal crackers were tastey! Happy first birthday! (Well, on January 24th)

Winter Snow

We've had a lot of snow lately, and Elise has enjoyed looking out the window, watching the plowing.


She also loves to watch for Daddy to come home at the end of the day.


Elise is getting so grown up!!! I love to watch her standing and walking tentatively on her own. She's up to 10 steps all by herself, although crawling is still the fastest way of getting where she wants to go. What a cutie!!!

Happy Girls!

What a lovely snowy day outside!!! Elise and I are just like two cozy little bugs in a rug here, and we wanted to say good morning to everyone!! I just love having a happy girl, smiling and giggling. She's getting so big, and won't be so content to play in her playpen much longer, but its so cute when she stands up and can now get her arms out over the edges. We had her first birthday celebration last week, and boy was that fun! Its so amazing that she's learned so much in the last year, and that Logan and I have learned so much too!
What an adventure!
