First Overnight Stay!

Elise is grinning all the time now, though she still hasn't felt like letting out a giggle yet. Mommy and Daddy think that they're pretty funny, but so far Elise doesn't agree!

Mommy has started playing airplane with Elise and she straightens out and enjoys herself--though this picture doesn't really do it justice!

Elise stays home with Daddy on Mondays while Mommy is at work now, and she really does love him. She stays with Grammy Vicki on Tuesday-Thursday and with Nanny or Grandma Jackson on Fridays. Mommy does NOT like being back at work and leaving her baby girl, but she's glad she doesn't have to leave her at daycare.

Aunt Rissa came for a visit this past weekend and had a good time cuddling with Elise, even though she was kind of fussy all weekend. Aunt Rissa got her to fall asleep on Saturday morning though--and enjoyed herself a little nap, too!

Elise had her first overnight stay with Grandma Rhonda while Mommy went out for her first night out on the town in a year (since she got pregnant shortly after her LAST night out on the town last February.) Daddy was on-call as the designated driver in Springfield, so Elise decided to stay with Grandma Rhonda and Papa Terry. She was a very good girl and had fun with her grandparents. Mommy had fun hanging out with her friends, too!
