1st meal with a spoon!

Today was her first time eating from a spoon. She really liked it and she did such a good job. I was waiting for her to start spitting it out as soon as it hit her mouth but surprisingly she swallowed it no problem. In fact, she would give us the biggest smile after she finished a bite and as you can see she ate the WHOLE bowl.

Playing glamour

I had to look for a picture of some model hands at work and was looking some up on istock.com. While I was scrolling through the 256 pages of some photos I ran into a few that were of babies that were so cute.. they were sleeping in the photos tho and they made me want to pull out the camera and try some cute shots of Elysa while she was sleeping.

Finally when she fell asleep I set everything up and set her done and for the FIRST time EVER she decided she liked the camera and gave me some really really darn cute photos to work with... I like em better then if she were sleeping!

I Love You!

I was so amazed when Devin sent me this. He captured it on his cell phone.

Its not the video that's amazing listen closely... Yeah.... that ACTUALLY is Elysa

saying  "I Love You" back. It's almost clear as a bell -huh-. Wow  at only 2 1/2 months old , 

we have an Einstine for a daughter!

Dallas lost :(

Elysa is now officially a football fan. Not only did she cry when I took her away from watching football with her grandpa and her daddy but when grandpa announced to her 4 different times that the Dallas Cowboys lost her little sad lip popped right out! I wish I could have gotten a better video but I was laughing so hard. To think she actually understood and was sad that the Dallas lost haha!

Elysa is so blessed ;) More so we are even more blessed to have her. She is our little angel and it was so exciting to have her daddy bless her. I love how little ones bring families together. It's always wonderful to have all your family together even if just for a day.

The Sad Lip

We've been trying to keep Elysa up a little later than she normally does so that
she'll sleep all the way through the night. But as you can see she just gets so tired
and she does the cutest little cry and she does our favorite thing of hers "The Lip".

HaLoWeEn!!

We had a fun Halloween. We all dressed up which surprised me cause Devin usually never likes to dress up. He decided to be Peter Petrelli from Heros. I just played it safe with a kitty Elysa was going to be a butterfly; Devin had a plan for next year that I would be Laya he would be Hons Solo and Elysa would be an Ewok. While I was out shopping I found a costume that looked just like a little Ewok and it was 75% off so we just couldn't resist. She ended up being an Ewok and a cute one she was. We didn't have enough time to look around for a Laya and Hons Solo costume since it was the day before Halloween so we went with what we had

planned on being before.

At 4:30 we met with Devins family and went trick-o-treating. Some ppl didn't like that we, Me and Devin, were trying to use Elysa's cuteness to get 

candy too haha, we promise we were going to save it for her till next year when she could eat it.. well....... ;)After we carved pumkins at Grandma's 

and Grandpa's. Even Elysa had a pumkin. Mines the ghost and her's is supposed to say "BoO" I sorta carved it wrong :)
