Elise has taken a sudden interest in a baby doll she received from NeeNaw last Christmas.  She smiles, waves and talks to it.

Elise and I went to San Antonio last weekend to visit Eric, Heather, Lydia, Levi and Ephraim.  It was her first time to meet them all, and we had a great time.  She loved the playroom, especially Lydia’s kitchen and her baby doll.  It was fun to watch all four kids play “together”!

My parents came to visit for the weekend.  We explored the Collierville town square, Mom and I attending the women’s fall kickoff at GBC, and we all enjoyed relaxing a little more than usual.  Elise was much happier to have Papa and Emma around this time.

Elise is 10 months old!  She has become very quick at crawling and just started pulling up on anything and everything.  Thankfully, she has also learned to sit back down smoothly.  For awhile she has enjoyed taking objects out of containers, but she has just figured out how to put them back in. She is starting to get the hang of a sippie cup. Tooth count is up to 5. Life is good!
