Since our computer was broken when Elsie turned 7 months, and now she is 8 months I'll just combine her little birthday letters. I know they are super long but it helps me always remember how she was at each stage!

Elsie Baby:
My oh my how you have grown!! Everyday I get you up from your naps and I swear you change! You have really gotten so big these past few weeks and you are definitely learning and discovering new things daily! Let me first start out by saying you are LITTLE MISS GIGGLES!! It is like nothing I have ever seen been. You crack up over everything and you just laugh and laugh and laugh. I think it is safe to say that you think your mama is the funniest, but you definitely get more excited to see your daddy. You are so ticklish laugh so hard! You also love to laugh at songs, when we or you sneeze, during peek-a-boo and patty cake. You also crack up over Sadie and Titan. You love love love dogs! Even Sophie!! Your favorite books right now are "Mommy?" ,"Who's a Bunny?" and "Peek a Boo Baby". You love to play peek-a-boo, patty cake, play with your little computer toy, read books, chew on anything (especially your fruit net feeder and shoes). play with combs, phones and remotes. You are also such a chatty cathy! You talk talk talk and just babble away. You say dada all day long and we love it! You have your two bottom teeth and your top tooth next to what will be your front right tooth. You are currently getting your front right tooth and the tooth next to what will be your front left tooth. You have just started to grind your teeth and it drives mama nuts! You are such a good eater, you love food! You are started to grab the spoon when I feed you because you want to help. We have given you lots of new food to try and sometime you get this funny look on your face and then your whole body shutters and you gag it out if you don't it. But then you always go back and try it again. If you don't like something though you have no problem gagging and throwing it up. If we try to give you your bottle and you don't want it, you will gag so hard before it even hits your lips. You definitely know what you want and will not stop at anything to get it. You are so into your toys right now and all you want to do is play play play. But the nice thing is you will play with anything. You are still so happy all the time and easy going. Elsie you are the most curious and observant child. You have to check everything out and always see what is going on. Because of this you have started to not sit still as easily. Speaking of sitting, you sit up so well now! perfectly straight! You rarely will lay down now before you flip over and start spin or scooting over to things. I think you are getting close to crawling but not quite yet. Yesterday you rocked on your hand and knees! You just started to clap your hands the other day and it was darling! I was putting you in your Halloween costume, telling you how darling you looked and you started to clap. Now you love to clap and pat pat everything. You will do hi fives (which is really probably just a pat pat) but it is darling! You have started to flip over in your crib and you now sleep on your tummy. But sometimes you wake up and for some reason you won't flip back over. The other day you kept flipping back and forth and you got your little leg stuck in the slats of the crib. We put your bumpers up and now you use them as a pillow! You love to give hugs and burry your face into our necks. You also think animals sounds are hysterical and you love to make all sorts of funny noises. Everyone loves you and loves to be around you! You are such a happy and spirited baby! You are fine to go with the flow and try new things. We are so blessed to have your sweet and bubbly spirit in our home and we love you to pieces!! You are our little sunshine girl and we can't imagine life without you. You always bring a smile to everyones face and your happy spirit is contagious! You mean so much to us and we hope you always know how loved you are!!!
xoxo Love Mommy and Daddy
