Twelve Months

Elsie is one year old today! Happy Birthday Elsie! She is walking everywhere and stood up on her own for the first time this morning without pulling herself up on something. She has plenty of words, provided you can understand her gibberish. She has a lot to say about everything going on around her, and isn't afraid to tell you about it. She still only has her two bottom teeth... Maybe someday she'll get a few more and learn how to chew food properly. Although her piggy is in her pictures with her, she is very attached to a certain stuffed kitty. Kitty helps her through the times when life gets hard and she falls down and cries. Kitty is also her bedtime/nap time companion. My baby is growing up and I love her more and more everyday!

Elsie's first birthday present ever was a book from her Aunt Becky. While she won't sit still for reading the whole book yet, she certainly loves to flip through the pages and look at the pictures!
