Elsie's Room.

I finally got around to finishing Elsie's room. Jeez, I am so crafty! Thank you pinterest for all the wonderful ideas. I do not come up with my own ideas easily, but I am able to copy someone elses!

The drapes were made from 4 (two each) flat sheet from Walmart. I love how they turned out. You can find the tutorial here. 

I was given the dresser when it was all black and had so many coats of paint on it. I copied the idea from another pinterest pin but I could not find the link to it. 

 The idea for these wall canvases came from here.

and These wonderful balls that hang above Elsie's bed came from this link.

I love how her room turned out and she seems to like it as well. 

growing, Growing, GROWING!

Make it stop. I just want my baby to stay my baby. 

 She's my happy girl. Really though. She rarely ever cries. She's such an easy baby. We are so spoiled.

 At first Elsie didn't mind the bath. Then after a month she got water in her face and HATED the bath. She would cry the whole time. It was miserable. I didn't know what to do to get her to like it. We would bath her super fast and get her out as quickly as possible because it was so awful. I needed to do something about this so I made her stay in the bath and cry, I tried to show her that bathtime was fun by showing her how to kick her feet. It just took that one time and now she likes it again... See easy baby.

 Sitting up like a big girl.

 Holding her own bottle. Ha her bottle is as big as her head. 

 Emma loves Elsie so much. She is always asking to hold her. This was such a sweet picture I had to share. 

Getting some cheeks. 

Daddy takes Elsie for walks while mommy is at work. Elsie loves being outside and seeing all the fun new things.

And she loves her new play mat. There is a mirror on the one she pulling on and she loves to see herself. She knows she's adorable. 

Hiking the Y

 It seemed like a wonderful day for a hike so Jordan and I got our stuff together and headed out to hike "Y" Mountain with Elsie. She loves being outside so it was really nice. When we were about half way up we realized that there was a pretty big storm quickly rolling in. (You can see it in the side of the first photo.) It's a good thing that I tried to dress Elsie warm. Jordan always thinks that she is going to be hot. I guess he doesnt realize that she doesnt do any of the work. It did start to rain when we reached the top. All we could do for Elsie was try to keep her dry. She seemed to handle it well though and took a nap on the way down.
