Elcee is a little nervous about her first solid food.

She did great with the help of her older sister Emery.

 We went to The Utes stadium during the Health Fair.  Tim was doing a rotation at the University of Utah Hospital and the people he worked with had a booth there.

Standing in front of the stadium, excited to go in

 

 
 

We celebrated my birthday in Delta.

Sweet Little Elcee

Snuggling with her Daddy

Oh how I love this SWEET little happy bundle of joy.  She has been such an easy, lovable baby.  I feel bad that I have not written much about her because of my lack of blogging and the focus on what the older kids are doing.  She is just my little sweetheart that is SO CONTENT and happy.  When ever anyone in our family is feeling down or stressed, I just quietly put Elcee next to them or in their arms and she just brightens them right up.  If you can not tell, she if VERY admired in this family.  I have a friend from Napal that takes her little girl/s to the bus at the same time as I take Emery.  She once told me that seeing Elcee was the highlight of her day because she make her so happy.  She said that she talks to her husband about Elcee all the time because she loves her so much.  I thought that was pretty kind to say, yet I had to agree that her happiness is pretty contagious.  Most any time you look at her or start talking to her, she will smile and giggle at you.  Needless to say, it is super easy to get a good picture of her.  Very rarely do I take more than one or two pictures of her in the same setting.  Oh, how we love her!  For the first half of her life she was such a Daddy's girl and loved it when he held her.  When he would put her to sleep he would always sing/hum the song Clancy's Theme (Man From Snowy River) to her and she would go right out.  I don't blame her because I love her Daddy's voice as well.  Once we got back to Salt Lake City and Tim got SUPER busy again, he wasn't able to hold and help out with her as much, so now she is both a Mommy's and Daddy's girl.  She still loves her Daddy dearly though.  It is not surprising that here first word was Da Da.  She also totally admires her brother and sister.  She always wants to be in the same room as them and just watch super closely at what they are doing, and laugh and smile at them as they play.  Most the time she is totally a part of what they are playing.  Like this morning I caught them playing with Emery's tea set on the floor and Elcee had her own place setting as well.  They were all just sitting in this cute little circle.  I just LOVE being a mom!

She started sitting up at 4 almost 5 months old

When ever she wakes up from her nap, this is usually what I find when I go in to get her.  Kaven and Emery hear she is awake as well and run in to be by her.

Watching Mommy cook dinner.

She likes playing in this play set, but likes it the best when we are outside.   I think she lasts longer in it outside because she likes watching all the kids playing.

Watching Mommy get ready for church.

Emery fed Elcee her first solid food at 5 months old.  Emery is such a good little miniature Mommy for her.
