IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT OUR LITTLE GIRL WILL BE CELEBRATING HER FIRST BIRTHDAY NEXT MONTH! ELISE IS OVER 17 POUNDS NOW!!! SHE IS VERY VERBAL- "DADDY, DOGGY, THANK YOU, ALL DONE, BYE, HI, BA, THIS, UP". SHE WILL REPEAT SOME THINGS AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE SHE SAYS MOMMY (USUALLY WHEN SHE IS WHINING). BRIAN KEEPS SAYING "I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS TALKING...THAT LITTLE THING IS TALKING!" SHE TAKES STEPS HERE AND THERE, BUT SHE KNOWS THAT SHE CAN GET AROUND MUCH FASTER CRAWLING. SHE CONTINUES TO AMAZE US WITH ALL OF THE THINGS SHE DOES AND WE ARE HAVING A BLAST!
