EIGHT MONTHS OLD
SHE IS OBSESSED WITH CRAWLING NOW- SHE TAKES HER MILK "TO GO"
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MONTH MAKES! ELISE IS OVER 15 POUNDS NOW (LITTLE FATTY!). SHE IS DEFINITELY GOING THROUGH A GROWTH SPURT...SHE HAS BEEN EATING ALMOST 30 OZ OF BREASTMILK PLUS HER BABY FOOD! SHE CAN CRAWL ACROSS THE ROOM (WE CALL IT "DOING THE INCHWORM"), SHE LOVES TO CLIMB AND PULL HERSELF UP ON STUFF, AND SHE FINALLY STARTED "TALKING". THE OTHER DAY BRIAN WAS SITTING WITH HER ON THE CHAIR AND SHE LOOKED UP AT HIM AND IN THE SWEETEST VOICE STARTED SAYING "DA-DA, BA-BA, GA-GA, & BLA-BLA". IT MELTED MY HEART!
ALSO, THE LITTLE STINKER IS FINALLY SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! AFTER TRYING ALL OF THE "NICE METHODS" WE HAD TO RESORT TO "CRYING IT OUT". WE HAD ABOUT 4 ROUGH NIGHTS, BUT NOW SHE WILL SLEEP OVER 12 HOURS AND GETS MAD WHEN I WAKE HER UP!!!! MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DIDN'T DO IT SOONER!

What a big girl. The picture in front of the tree is priceless, her eyes are beautiful.
So sweet! I love the Christmas tree picture too. She is getting so big. Landon is still not sleeping through the night but I haven't resorted to letting him "cry it out" yet.
Elise is adorable in her Santa hat! She is getting so big!!!
We made Claire cry it out for a few nights a couple weeks ago and now she is sleeping through the night. The letting her cry method was hard on everyone, but getting a full night of sleep is priceless!
