8 months old!

Hi Everyone!

Remember how small I was when I was born? I am a big girl now. I weigh a little over 14 pounds and I am almost as tall as my mom! Well, not quite, but they tease me about being as tall as my mom when I go to Nursery.

I am eating very well as you can tell. I like rice cereal, veggies and most fruits. I don't like bananas, though! Mommy gave me cheerios for the first time today. I am not sure about them, but she said that I will learn to like them soon. I can't wait to be able to eat ice cream, though. Daddy said that as soon as Mommy lets me eat ice cream, he will bring me to the ice cream store for a Daddy-daughter date. I am so excited!

I like to roll around on the floor discovering all the little pieces of lint that Mommy did not get when she cleaned the house. I don't usually put it in my mouth (yet) but I like to touch it with my little fingers. Oh! I really like to play with my feet. I touch my toes one-by-one with my index finger. My Mommy and Daddy laugh when I try to put my feet in my mouth. Don't they like to eat their feet too?!? I am working on sitting up by myself and crawling. Both of which I am not too thrilled about. I do like to stand up with help from Mom or Dad.

I am having fun growing and learning all sorts of things. I miss my Daddy when he goes to work, but I love to play with him once he comes home. Mommy stays home with me all the time. We have lots of fun together, too.

I hope that you are all having fun. I love you!

Love, Elise






Nic's 27th (!!) birthday



I found this card in a random store (of course I can't remember which one) and immediately knew I had to get it for Nic! Doesn't it look like us!?!?




Elise loves her Daddy so much! There was a picture of a daddy and daughter as part of the card, but I got one of Elise to put in its place. It will be a card he will hold on to for forever. He is such an Elise boy!



Nic's birthday bash! I did not have enough candles...but there sure are a lot of them!



It is tradition in the Holland family that they open a gift on Christmas Eve. Usually the present is a pair of new pj's. This is us showing off our new attire!







The cutest one of all!



Happy sleeping!
