Practicing Standing

You like to stand up, Elsa.  You got to show off this skill to Aunt Rachie.  She let you grip her fingers and stand for as long as you wanted!

Let's Give Her Some Fresh Air

Since its so hot this summer, Elsa hasn't been outside much.  We had the chance to air her out on Sunday afternoon.  She giggled and cooed in her bouncy chair and looked up at the sky.  The pretty dress was a gift from my sister Rachel, and I am happy that its large enough for her to wear for a few more months because its so lovely!  Its vintage and smocked, so its pretty awesome.

Two Pretty Ladies...

Elsa and her Auntie Rachie.
I hope Elsa inherits Rachel's easy laughter and beautiful hair.

(More) Gifts from Aunt Rachie

She loves to shop; she loves you.  I predict this means you will always have something wonderful in your closet!

I LOVE the matching cardigan!

No need for shoes.  You've got them sewn in!

This was her favorite detail... ruffles on the bottom!

And here's a larger size dress you'll wear when you start crawling and toddling.  Its so cheerful that I imagine you wearing pony tails with it, too.  (If you are like your brother though... no hope of any hair accessories until after age 2!)
