More FUN!!

I always think that Elsa couldn't do anything cuter than what she is doing now... I'm so glade I am wrong!
She has always got a new trick up her sleeve or a better version on the latest.

Elsa is such a jabber mouth! I always know where she is because she is constantly jabbering. She loves to mimic you! She loves to say "hi" on the phone, pet you or her animals and say "soft", she loves to eat "bananas" for breakfast with "dada", she is such a good tickler and has the "tickle-tickle" down, she says "please" and sometimes "thank you". It's so cute to hear her little versions of them all.

Elsa is hardly in the same place for very long. She loves new places to explore and new "toys" to find. Every once and awhile she'll sit and play on my lap but she's starting to prefer daddy's more. She loves to play the standing game with you. Stand her up and she falls straight for you. I know she could stand up if she paid attention to it, but it's more fun trusting mommy and daddy to catch you.


Elsa got a surprise on her oranges after dinner one day and was in heaven!! Who doesn't like cool Hwhip?!
I love her hill-billy smile!


Cousin Pepper came over to play! She is so cute! Such a personality! She loves playing with all of Elsa's baby toys! The jumperoo and walker where her favorites!! They kept her entertained for a majority of the day! Elsa loved following her around!


Elsa keeps life busy and full of smiles, laughter and LOVE!

Eleven

This month we didn't get a lot of pictures but we got a lot of videos!
Elsa is very mobile these days! She gets around and into everything and if your close by she'll pull herself up just to be closer. I love the white leggings turned to black after church every Sunday.


Elsa loves to talk on the phone! We tell her to say "HI" and she says "AHH". She's talked to a few people on the phone with the help from mommy and daddy but she actually speed dialed Aunt Micah and I didn't even know it until Micah called back wondering what was going on. Elsa is such a talker with or without a phone and the funniest part is she'll look at you like she's dead serious and have the tone in her voice like she knows what she's talking about. I have no doubt that she does! At the end of the day, Blake and I will lay in bed and laugh our selves to sleep mimicking the little conversations we've had that day.



Elsa loves her soft animals! She loves to talk and snuggle with them, it's so cute!
Notice at the end of the video when she's headed somewhere and looks back at me? That's because she knows that she's headed somewhere that's a no-no.



Give Elsa a brush and she'll brush her hair but she knows she's got pretty hair!


Elsa has just melted our hearts this month, she loves to snuggle! She'll crawl over and lay her head on you and say "aww". Some mornings we will lay in bed and repeatedly lay our heads together and say "aww". She is the sweetest! She even has learned to be "soft". She could tear your face apart, especially when I had neglected to trim her fingers nails, but not anymore! If she's getting a little too rough all you have to say is "be soft" and she'll pet your face softly and make a noise that mimics the sound of "soft".

I noticed Elsa was starting to get her front two teeth so I wanted to get a good picture of her fangs for you!


You can almost see all 4 teeth in this one. Elsa has been insistent on "using" utensils while she eats. We don't eat a lot of baby food anymore because it's super messy! So now I just give her a fork with her finger foods. 


Everyday is such a joy with Elsa, whither it's playing, talking, or snuggling. I don't think we could have gotten more blessed with Elsa in our lives.
