Videos of Els

I couldn't get the videos to load with the other pictures, so here they are.
There are way more but I figured two is enough (for now). It's so cool when they really start interacting.

Each week, day really, Elsie is doing something new. She is semi crawling/swimming, finally learned how to sit up from lying down and loves to stand up while leaning on you, the couch or her pink grocery cart.

Nana was sworn in as a Fruit Heights City Councilwoman. Elsie showed who was really in charge.

Happy New Year!

Mall Santa...wasn't a big fan.

Hanging out with my cousins in Grammy's kitchen sink, why the heck not.

Christmas was awesome as usual, spending time with family, eating lots of good, good food and of course celebrating this special time for the first time with our beautiful baby girl. Elsie was adorable as ever in her Christmas dress from Grammy.

All the babies have to be held up by Papa. And all the babies love it.

Opening presents. Kind of. She didn't really get it but sure loved to play with the wrapping paper after. Grammy gave her a shopping cart to cruise around with.

Elise in her "Ralphie" snow suit. Her arms were really stuck like that. She wasn't super excited to be in it.

All the chitlins chillin around Papa's train. He had all of their undevided attention.

We have been very busy lately. Playing in the leaves, going for hikes, going to Seattle to watch RSL win the MLS cup. Ya, know. The ususal kind of stuff.

Hiking up Big Cottonwood.

Chillen with Madilyn and B-Ryce.

Els loves any second she gets to spend with her Dad.

A lazy Sunday watching Liverpool.

RSL's cutest fan.

Out of order, but this is the celebration after the game.

There were RSL fans all over downtown Seattle. It was awesome.

Els is hiding under there. Snug as a bug.

We are so lucky to have amazing parents that will do a last minute trip to Seattle with us.

Three

Three years ago today was by far one of the best days of my life.

I had a patient tell me the other day that she could tell that I had a good man in my life just by looking into my eyes. She couldn't be more right, although "good" doesn't really do Hans justice.
And now to see him as a dad, oh man... It's what he was meant to be.




Happy #3.

This is pretty much going to be picture overload. If I had any skills at all I could clump them into a collage or something, but I don't, so they aren't.

Swimming for the first time. Lucky enough to go with Sam on his 1st birthday.

I really wanted a picture of Els with a red tree. So I took a picture of Els with a red tree.

Elsie brought her game face to the pool.

All geared up at the RSL game.

Those Eyes. Kill me.

Those Lips. Kill me.
