Friday Jan. 28

Time for baby to take a nap.

Thursday Jan. 27

 She decided to do this all on her own. It is just a wrapping paper roll.

 She was so proud of herself for coming up with such great fun.

 I really have no idea where she would have picked this up, but I'm all for cheap entertainment.

Wednesday Jan. 26

Reading her favorite book!

Play-Doh

So today we got out some Play-doh. She doesn't do a lot with it, but I like to think she has a little fun. Usually she just squeezes it or puts it back in its container. We've got some cookie cutters and a small rolling pin so I have been showing her how to use those.

  

She is always so deliberate in her actions, you can just see the wheels turning.

Now there is one more reason Elise likes to go down in the basement. She likes to get in Bob's old papasan chair and roll around. She pretends to sleep and stretch. It is really pretty funny. She also usually brings at least one friend with her and another toy. I know she likes doing this, but I am not a big fan because it tips over pretty easily. So lucky me gets to stand there and stabilize it while she rolls around in it. Oh well, the things we do for our kids, right?

Riding on Dad

Daddy started something...He picked her up to touch the ceiling, and of course she wanted to do it over and over. But since that was hard for him to do, he just put her on his shoulders. She thought that was pretty cool and he jogged around the room.

Drumming in Dad's head.

 There is a good possibility that Bob lost a few hairs in the process, but she had a good time!

Saturday Jan. 22

Today was a pretty boring day. Daddy had to work, so we just stayed in. I decided not to bug her too much by taking a ton of pictures.
This picture was taken after church. Elise and Daddy just chillin' on the couch.
