14 Months Old

While in D.C. we were able to meet up with Jessica & Hadley. It's amazing how quickly these little ones change - we just saw Hadley in May, but she's growing up & changing already!

I meant to do a post with Elise & Bailey (Jodi's dog) but just haven't gotten around to it...here's a cute pic of them. They would sit for several minutes like this...all curled up and snuggled together. Bailey was so good to Elise & would let her crawl all over her and rest on her back - whatever. Great dog. We had fun with Jodi & met John half way last Sunday. Elise got home and was so busy & excited to get into all her toys she hadn't seen in a while.

This past week Elise turned 14 months old. She is walking everywhere, understands so many things, but still just uses lots of baby talk to communicate with us - "ba" for ball or balloon, "daw" for dog, "be-be" for Bailey or baby. She will mimick the cadence of our words, but we're still waiting for a very clear-cut, first word other than "mama" or "dada". I must say "Oh" a lot during the day, because she will say this too when she seems to be discovering something...."oh". This week we don't have too much planned, other than packing up to fly to Minnesota for a visit on Saturday. Elise and I will spend a week there, and be back to spend Labor Day weekend with John here in Charlotte. We've been enjoying the Olympics...maybe too much, because we've been staying up way too late catching some of the events. Hope you enjoy the last couple weeks of summer!
