Here are a few pictures of sweet little Elise. She really likes sleeping right now and eating about every 3 hours. She is doing very well. I have caught her smiling a few times and making some cooing sounds. I love it!!! 
It's is hard to find time to do all the things I want/need to get done in a day. Today, I am foregoing a clean house for a little blog update. It will be quick, but I hope you enjoy...
(this is all out of order now, but I am in too big of hurry to fix: this paragraph should be at the very top) :)
Addison loves to play "Mommy" around the house. Every single animal, doll, even Christmas tree ornament (if in the shape of an animal) gets diapered, cleaned, and swaddled with loving care. Dave and I used to have to help Addi pull the straps on the diapers, but as you can see from the pics, she has now mastered that skill. Geoffrey, the giraffe, was very patient as Addi practiced time and again on him. Look at what a spectacular job Addi has done!!!
So, as most of you know Addison has been sleeping in her new twin bed for about 2 months. She was off to a great start and Dave and I thought we were so lucky to have such an easy transition from crib to bed. Well, about 2 wks before Elise arrived our luck started to run out slowly. Addison decided that she should start taking advantage of her newly found freedom. It started out ever so benign...
a little movement her and there, kicking the bed, playing with the few toys in the room,
then on to....
playing with the monitors, setting up camp outside the bed somewhere, staring out the window for who knows how long, probably even sleeping while standing-up looking out the window
eventaully getting a little braver by the day...
opening and closing the door, to insisting the door always be open, taking all shoes, diapers, pajamas to door, diapering Geoffrey at the door,
to finally.....
pushing 2 big boxes of diapers to door, stacking them and proceeding to climb on them over the gate that had been at the door.
NICE!!!
Our little problem-solver!
Ever soooo proud at 6:45 in the morning.

Oh my gosh Addie is so cute! Elise too! I can forsee a similar issue when it's time to transition Aidan to a big boy bed. He is already all over the place! I love the diapered giraffe!
Wow! I think I finally figured out how to leave comments. I just love your page and all the updates! Your little girls are precious and I really miss you guys. Addie makes me laugh - using the boxes..., pretty smart I'd say! Love you!
oh my goodness, two little angels! i am in love with your photos (and Addie's problem solving skills!)
