More smiles

Elise is all smiles for her papa! These are pictures that he took while letting me sleep in.

Bath time

Here's Elise posing with the doudou that her grandmere (Arnaud's mom) sent her.

Big yawn!

Smiles!

Well, I finally caught some smiles on camera... These are what make all of the sleepless nights totally worthwhile!

Here's a video of me trying to get Elise to smile... and she says "ah-goo" like her Nana taught her!

Second pedatrician visit

Elise is 9 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. (50%) and 20 1/2 in. (25%).

Visit with Papy, Parrain, and Tata Clemence

Papy, Parrain, and Tata Clemence came all the way from France to visit Elise. It was their first time in the U.S., and we had such a great time with them. Come back soon!

Weight check

Went in for a weight check today to make sure she's gaining weight, and sure enough, she's 8 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 1/2 in. (but I'm pretty sure the nurse overestimated the height).

Elise's Baptism

Elise was baptized at St. Pius X church on June 8, 2008. My sister Anne is her godmother (marraine), and Arnaud's brother Julien is her godfather (parrain). Thanks to everyone who came!

Dinner with Bretons at Guy and Deanne's House

Nana after holding Elise

Later on that day (after running a few errands), Nana notices something on her pant leg. . .

Elise had marked her territory!
