It's time for an update!

Hello everyone! Sorry... I know.... I've been neglecting my blog. But I have a few good excuses. 1) We just had a very busy week of vacation Bible school at church, and 2) we were busy getting ready for the yard sale we had yesterday.

It does seem like Elise is changing everyday and doing new things, so here's an update:
First of all, she is walking all the time and is getting pretty fast. She's even mastered the squat and can now stand up from a squatting position all by herself. She seems to be very proud of this. :) She also enjoys walking in a small circle which makes her look like a puppy chasing her tail. Of course, she also has some new words. The newest words include... pool, church, beach, Laurie (my good friend), and blueberry (which sounds like bobby). This also tells you what we've been doing a lot lately... playing in our kiddie pool, going to church, sitting at the beach, visiting with friends, and eating blueberries. :) Life is good.

The only bad news to report is that Elise has been prescribed glasses to help her eyes to align better. Both of her eyes occassionally turn in when she's trying to focus (usually just one at a time). We'll be ordering her pink metal frames this week. Any ideas on how to get a 17-month-old to keep glasses on? Send your suggestions my way!

I'll post a picture of Elise in her glasses when they arrive... well, if I can convince her to keep them on that is!
