Elyse's Page Signs Off

Elyse's page is officially closed. It got too hard keeping 2 pages running - I couldn't figure out which pics to put on which page! SO - look back here anytime you like for previous posts...but all new posts will be listed at LankeyLand! Enjoy!

Squirt

Grabbed the bottle of Hershey's syrup....

...and missed my mouth!

Happy Birthday America!

I had a GREAT time celebrating America's birthday this year! It was my third year going to Aunt Julie's family's annual party and it keeps getting more fun! There are so many kids and the food is always amazing. Here I am enjoying a cupcake cone:

A tradition I started last year, playing in Aunt Jackie's fountain :-)

Gettin' ready for the nighttime festivities!

Enjoying sparklers with Mommy



Ooh! Aah! The fireworks are cool!

I'M A FISH!!!!!

I think swimming is the best thing EVER! Mom & Dad can't keep me out of the water. Don't I look cool in my new lifejacket? I get to swim all by myself! (With mom & dad close by of course). The worst part of the day is when it's time to go home :-(

Cool shades

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

All by myself!


I like watching the water drip

Fun with the cousins

Cousin Daniel

Cousin Jonathon

I wanna play :-(

A public apology for the lack of pictures

Apparently there is some scuttle-butt about the 2 month absence of pictures on my blog. To appease the masses (ok, really AUNT KIM) here are some new ones! Our sincerest apologies...

Potty Time & More...

The first time I went on the potty was Christmas Eve. I was quite a champ for a while. But I don't see what the big deal is. It was fun at first (and the treats were great!) and boy did Mom & Dad make a huge to-do (they are so easily amused). But now I'm not sure it's for me.

I have gone maybe 6 times since then.
Me & my pup

Kisses!

Mom bought me this slide at a garage sale - way to go Mommy!

Aunt Natalie bought me a bubble mower the other day

And this is why there haven't been many pictures of me -

I'm always in motion!!

I fought the shelf & the shelf won...

You all probably noticed my boo-boo in the Easter pictures. All I did was pull on the towel...and down it came. "IT" being the wooden shelf the towel was hanging on!!! Nothing like a shelf in the face MINUTES before going to get my pictures taken.

But I did learn to sign "I love you" correctly in the same week :-)

Easter 2007

Special time with Great Gramma
Great Gramma helps me take off my shoes!

Here's me shmoozing Great Aunt Karen for some snacks :-)

This is me & my betrothed hubby, Jett. He is very special to all of us! He 2 months older than me but weighs 1/2 as much. He was born at 23 weeks weighing only 1lb 5oz...he is doing great!!
