Amanda and Dillon's brunch

Elise's new best friend--cousin Sara!

This picture was taken at the brunch the morning after my cousin Amanda's wedding. Other than the bride and groom, Elise was the center of attention at the brunch! Elise wasn't able to attend the wedding because she had dinner plans with Aunt Lauren and Uncle Kevin (thanks, guys!), but both the wedding and the brunch were so much fun!

This is the sweetest little outfit that she wore to the brunch.
Thanks, Susan and John! It's adorable!

An attempt at a cute picture

So, someone set up a few stacks of hay and a bunch of pumpkins along Bayou St. John, and I thought it would be a cute backdrop for a picture. But, of course, we couldn't get her to smile because she was too distracted by the hay, the pumpkins, the grass, and the passing cars. Oh well, maybe next time...

Election day

Elise was expressing her political opinion on election day. In case you can't read the t-shirt, it says, "I vote for a change! (my diaper's wet)" And the kitty in the picture that my friend Kiva gave her is her new obsession. Thanks, Kiva!

Also, is it just me, or is her hair looking a little strawberry in these pictures?! (You can click on the picture to get a closer look.)

Hanging out with Uncle Patrick

Uncle Patrick babysat today for the first time--lucky for him she slept the whole time!

toy elephant

This is one of Elise's favorite toys (thanks, Leslie!!!), and this is how I found her after taking her out of the car one day. It was too funny!

Elise's new highchair

This is Elise's new chair that clips on to the bartop. Pretty cool, huh? She loves being eye level with us! Sorry it's sideways--I couldn't figure out how to rotate it...
