My mom and grandmother came to visit, and we packed a lot into the time… church picnic, parent-child dedication, shopping, tea, spa, shopping for Elise.  And of course just enjoying Elise! 

We took an unplanned trip to NC for the last few days.  Elise spent over 22 hours in the car on the trip there and back, and she did awesome! 

We discovered Elise’s first tooth today!  One bottom tooth has already popped through the surface, and we didn’t even know it was coming.  Its neighbor is getting close.

Josh snapped off a few pictures last night of Elise. 
We needed one for baby dedication coming up… some turned out awfully cute!

Elise is 7 months old… and what fun she is!  She enjoys sitting up in the bathtub now and splashing. Her new dining adventures include carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes.  She loves to laugh at the dogs while they play, and she is finding her voice more often.  And she discovered she likes to sleep on her tummy.
