Nan & Pop's 50th Anniversary

Elise went to Nanny and Poppy's 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration today. Everyone had a wonderful time toasting 50 years of marriage for Nanny and Poppy. Elise got a little fussy towards the end, but it was a busy place and she has a LOT of family that loves her and likes to pass her around!

Elise also met Aunt Amanda's new puppy today. She really enjoyed playing with him and it wore them both out, so they took a nap together! Elise really wanted to pet him and get a hold of him, but still can't make her hands work like she wants them to when she wants to grab something. It was okay, though, because the puppy just came to her and licked her hand, which got her excited!

Elise may not be able to grab for Aunt Amanda's puppy like she wants to, but she likes to fold her hands and she has also taken to sucking on her fingers. She knows how to put them in her mouth when she wants them now. She prefers them to her pacifier these days.

Elise and Mommy went strolling around the neighborhood for the first time last weekend when it was so nice. Elise really enjoyed getting out and enjoying the fresh air, and she loved her stroller. She went shopping with Grammy in it this week and didn't fuss a bit--she just looked around and enjoyed the ride! The picture above was after we got back from strolling--note her fingers in her mouth, as usual! The picture below was Elise getting ready to take off for her first ride--you can just see the excitement in her eyes!

Aunt Lacy got MARRIED!



Aunt Lacy got married to Uncle Jayme on February 28th and Elise was there for the festivities! Aunt Lacy looked amazing (as you can see). Mommy was her maid-of-honor and Elise got to wear a matching dress. She was VERY pretty, even though she refused to wear her pretty black shoes!

Poppy took care of Elise a lot while we were getting ready for the wedding. She's Poppy's buddy. If she's fussing, he can usually calm her down!

We finally got a picture of the 3 generations of Stevens! It may have taken us 12 weeks to get it done, but at least Elise is still a baby!

It was a very busy day for Elise and she tuckered out a few times.


We took this picture of Elise and Mommy to celebrate that she is now 12 weeks old!
