One Hungry Monster

Today I handed Elise a "cutie" orange to play with while I was getting some things done. For a few minutes I was engrossed with my routine when suddenly I heard a very cute "smack," "smack," coming from behind me. Elise was chomping on the orange, peel and all! Where there are three teeth, there is a way to eat anything!
'Why doesn't this taste very good?"
The damage, she really didn't let that peel stop her!

9 months old

September is upon us, and what a great time we have been having. The weather took an unexpected twist and we are now enjoying temperatures in the 70s. We also had Kate home an extra day from school for labor day, which made Lily so happy. These two miss each other so much during the day, it is so sweet.
Elise also had her 9 month appointment on Tuesday, surprising us with an unexpected growth spurt. She weighs in at 19 lbs 10 oz ( 64th percentile) and stretches out to 29.25 inches (93th). In June she was only in the 75th percentile for height, showing an impressive gain from 6 to 9 months. It looks like all my girls will be tall...two more and we will have quite the basketball team!

Elise's new favorite position. If I hold still for more than 5 seconds, she is on my leg, bouncing up and down and begging to be held, it is nice to be so loved!
