Arnaud's rebuttal

Arnaud's response to the question "Why did you put her hat on backwards?" :)

doesn't she look so big?! it looks like she's standing on her own!

so sweet


When Arnaud was dressing Elise, he came across one of the many cute outfits that Ryley, Caroline, and Ansley have passed down to us (thanks, girls!). He got her dressed and took all these cute pictures, and he was so proud of himself. When he showed them to me, I thought the hat looked like it was on backwards, but he said "no, it opens in the front." So I said "okay." Well, a couple of days later I saw the hat in the laundry room and peeked inside the hat... the tag is directly behind the bow! But I think it's really cute how he dressed her up and took pictures--it makes me smile!

Teeth!

Well, it's really hard to get a baby to open her mouth, hold her tongue back, and be still all at the same time... so you might have to zoom in and use your imagination a little, but she has two teeth now! The first one (bottom right) came in on 10/14/08 and the other one (bottom left) came in a few days later.

First taste of rice cereal

She wasn't a fan of the rice cereal, as you can tell by the faces... She did love the spoon though!

Laughing with Papa

Arnaud thinks it looks like she's saying "Yo, yo, yo! Wassup?" :)
