A bloom on the Lady Elsie rose!
I've got my pansy. Don't even think about taking it away from me!
Ruby, one of our next-door-neighbors, came over for a visit!
Kristi R., Dad's coworker, was my first non-family babysitter. We had fun while mom and dad went to a concert!

I got stuck when I was rolling around. But I didn't mind since I could chew on my hand.
Not only is Elsie "reading," she is reading her Spanish/English word book from Aunt Katie!

Elsie now joins us for meals at the table. She is not eating cereal or other foods yet, but she is good company!
Mom had to do some work at school, so both Grandmas were happy to babysit Elsie! This is Grandma Larsen reading to Elsie.
Giggles while getting ready for bed
Snuggling in Grandma Newburg's arms
I can see my toes - these "hundreds" in my Pilates workout are really working!
Mmmm. Tasty.
My hands always amuse me in my carseat!
Getting ready to go on a walk on a windy day
Watch out! I am the karate kid!

Hitching a ride in the laundry basket
I love looking at books in my crib. Plus, mom says it is never to early to start working on "concepts of print!"
One of Elsie's first giggles!
March 7
Uh-oh! We knew it was time to put away the baskets of laundry when Elsie was out of clean onesies, but we didn't quite realize how much there was!
Whoa! Look at all of this laundry!
Elsie loved to help Mom sort and fold clothes, especially when Mom rubbed clothes on her tummy and tickled her!
Talking and singing with Mom is fun!
Oh, Mom! You're so funny!
Elsie loves to sing! Here we are singing "I'm a Little Teapot!"
Good morning! Elsie is usually happy when she wakes up.
Elsie is not happy when she is taken out of her bath! She loves to be in her tub, but hates leaving!
