Nice and toasty



I told you I was technologically challenged! So I haven't been able to post a video on here yet. I did figure out how to use the camcorder, though. So, videos of Elise do exist, they're just not on the internet...yet. I took this two-minute video of her, but for some reason the file is rediculously huge, so I can't really upload it anywhere. As soon as I figure out how I screwed up, I'll post a video.

Kenny, Elise and I had fun this weekend shopping for Elise's first winter clothes. Kenny bought this big white furry snowsuit for her which is rediculously big and bulky. He debated for a little on whether to buy it, but he loves winter clothing and he just couldn't resist. I'm sure I'll be grateful for that suit when the snow starts rolling in. We bought alot of little jammies to keep her warm and a sweet little winter hat with bunny ears (see pictures above and below).

We are doing well and Elise is as happy as can be (especially right now, as she naps in my left arm while I type with my right). We have continued to practice our baby yoga which Elise usually loves. But I think Elise is wanting to cut back on it a bit, she started crying yesterday in the middle of our routine, so we had to stop, maybe she's bored with it? That's the thing with babies, alot of times it's just guess work and ruling things out.
Here are some pictures of our little bunny getting ready for winter.

We're Growing Up

I just finished packing away all of the clothes that Elise has outgrown and I am so sad! I filled up a whole crate full of sweet little outfits that she will never wear again. I had to pause every once in a while and hug a little onesie or romper that brought back special memories. Okay, I admit it, I have become a sappy mom. But I just can't help it! I held her little shirts up to my nose, breathing in what was left of that wonderful baby smell. I know that Elise is still so small, she's still just a little baby, but she is just growing so fast, I wish there was a pause button!
Despite my motherly sappiness, I am looking forward to watching her grow up. I know that every stage brings its own rewards and I can't wait to see her crawling and toddling around. I always get so proud every time she reaches a new developmental milestone. I see her and immediately get an insanely large grin on my face and I think 'That's my girl! Growing and learning something new every day.'
She is such a joy. But, enough of me gushing over her.
My goal for this week: Figuring out how to use the video camera and how to post a video on this blog. We'll see if it happens, I'm not very technologically savvy.
Here are some new pictures, because if you have been following this blog at all, you know that I am very camera happy.
