Pics from the week

Relaxing on the couch

Busted out of the swaddle

Booty explosion! (glad her papa handled that one)

Jumperoo

Here's one of Elise's favorite things to do: play in her Jumperoo! Her toes barely touch, but she loves it--it's so much fun!
Thanks, Ashley and Ms. Mandy!

Elise goes to the French Quarter

Elise had fun walking around seeing the sights, as well as giving big smiles to anyone that said she was cute!

Soccer practice

This was hilarious! Elise was playing under her little play gym (Thanks, Diedra and Ms. Renate!), and she started pulling her knees up to her chest, waiting a few seconds like she was gearing up, and then "boom!" kicking both legs out at the same time and hitting her toys! She did it probably 20 times in a row--it was so funny! But of course, once I got the camera out she only did it a few times...but you get the gist.

Play time

Here's Elise sitting in her Bumbo seat and playing with some toys...

Evacuation to Memphis for Hurricane Gustav

In Nannaine's lap--she spent a lot of time there!

Getting in some cuddle time with mommy and papa...

Hanging out with cousin Ansley--aren't they cute?
