Elsie Girl

Elsie girl we love you so so much! We love how big you are getting, how smart you are and how absolutely hilarious you are! We love those slobber kisses and those belly laughs. Not to mention that belly and those cheeks!

9 months old

Nine. Months. Old. Are you kidding me!!! That is how long Elsie was in my belly. Carrying Elsie for 9 months seemed so so long and now time has just flown. I know everyone always says that but you don't believe it till it happens. I've said this before but all of the "cliche's" and all of the things people say about being a mother is true. You don't know you can love someone so much till you become a mother, it feels like you've known them forever and they REALLY do become your best friends! 

Elsie NEVER and I mean NEVERTHELESS stops moving unless she's sleeping

She is obsessed with waving hello and goodbye and it is so cute she just flops her arm/hand around

She has thee biggest smile next to her dad

She crawls as fast as lightning 

Walks along everything she can and can almost stand by herself 

She punches and scratches SO hard especially when nursing (I always have little scratches on my chest from) 

She absolutely loves playing with other kids and their toys 

She loves food. New things she loves are noodles with sauce and cottage cheese

She talks so much and screams and squeals so loud

She is a dare devil and dives off the couch and bed if you aren't watching her

She sucks her thumb but only when she's going to bed

She is an anti cuddler. She absolutely hates it.

She sucks down apple sauce packets SO fast! If that was an event at the baby Olympics she would win

My least favorite thing to do with Elsie is change her clothes/it is literally almost impossible and I go crazy!

8 Months

Every month i'm in disbelief that our little baby is month older. Like 8 months, are you kidding me??? She is so old, but as much as it makes me sad I ABSOLUTELY love it! I love seeing Elsie learn and grow and I love seeing her personality develop.

Elsie you....

Are soooo sweet in the mornings and definitely the most chill

You are crawling SO fast

You love playing with non-toys such as empty water bottles and plastic

You are a foodie and love anything we give you

You know when you are doing something you aren't supposed to and it is hilarious

Changing you is almost impossible

You smile at anyone and everyone but when they smile back you get shy

You are starting to become a Mommy's girl

You love playing with other baby's and kids

You are pretty terrible at church :/

At night you are HILARIOUS and have so much energy. Mommy and Daddy will be tired and ready for bed and you just crawl all over us

You bite really hard

You still only have 2 teeth but I think you are going to get more soon

You pull yourself up effortlessly and walk along all of our furniture

You are learning to wave "hi!" 

You get really distracted while nursing

Daddy is your favorite he makes you laugh constantly and you are SO excited when he gets home

You give slobbery kisses but they have to be on your terms
