Elise is 8 months old and learning so much!  Have we mentioned how much fun she is? Her latest trick is getting to a sitting position all by herself.  She loves the new freedom!  She creeps backwards and in circles and can cover quite a lot of ground that way.  She is starting to push up on her hands and knees and get her belly off the ground.  In the culinary world, she has covered quite a few vegetables and is exploring fruits now. She likes to babble and loves her “jumpee”.
