5 months

Our Elise is 5 months old. Woah. I cannot imagine our family without her. She is hilarious these days...hilarious and soulful, at the same time. She and Nora share those old soul eyes that seem like they're looking through you.

At 5 months Elise has rolled over front to back and back to front, although she seems happy to have tackled the milestone and somewhat uninterested in repeating it. She's a happy happy little lady and smiles easily at new people. She's also happy to be passed around to various friends and admirers, which is something her big sister was never a fan of. She has a teensy bit of fuzz on her noggin and more than one chub roll on her thighs. :) She's amazing.

My dear Elise, you are a joy. We love you very much.

Here she is each month since birth:
