Elise is ONE!

This past year has flown by SO FAST!  Elise turned ONE a week ago and I still can't believe it.  She is definite Joy in our lives.

• Elise weighs in at 15 lbs 3.5 ozs....I'm pretty sure that's hitting a negative percentile, but the paper says 0%
• Elise is 26.5 inches tall...she is our petite munchkin!  We just say that she's taking after her Great Grandma Irene (who was under 5 ft) whom her middle name comes from.
• Elise loves to eat!  Which you would never guess because she is so small.
• Elise in the last week has found her voice (and at church no less).  She likes to talk (babble) & it's quite fun.
• Although not walking yet, we're making progress on standing alone & finding our balance. I'm not too worried; I honestly think it would be weird to see her toddling around-because she's so tiny.
• Thanks to a trip to St. George at the beginning of October, Elise is weened off of nursing.  We're still working on introducing regular milk; she just doesn't take to it and would rather have water.
• Elise has been sleeping through the night for a while now.  She goes to bed with her siblings & wakes up with her siblings.  Jordan usually makes it to her in the morning before I do.
• Elise LOVES her Eggo Waffles!
