Here are some shots of baby Elysse I thought you might enjoy. She's now 15 months, and I know I keep saying this, but she is so much more enjoyable now that she can communicate without crying or screaming constantly, and can understand more and explore more.
I am now the nursery leader in our church, and that means I get to spend that time with Elysse too, even though she's only 15 months old. She has taken to it really well. Actually, she loves it...unless she sees me leave her sight or comfort another child. Did you know that babies can give one cold stink eye?
One day last week the girls were collecting bugs outside our front door. Kezia came in and forgot to close the door. When I saw the door open, I thought, "Where's Elysse?!?" Elysse runs out an open front door faster than a pesky house fly runs away from a fly swatter. I ran outside and found her in the street! And as I ran to get her, she ran further into the street! I was glad I ran out when I did.
Ivy is kind enough to give Elysse a ride on the back of her bike. Elysse goes WILD when she gets to do this! It's like her ticket to "Big Girlhood". She's all squeals and smiles.
Whenever she can get her hands on it, Elysse can be found with Kezia's lunchbag around her neck. Who needs clothes when you have strategically placed accessories?!?
Below are just some pics I took of Elysse this evening. I was able to catch her doing one of her favorite activities on video: playing with the magnets on the fridge. That was right before her other favorite activity: clearing the shelf of all its contents.

WOW! I am AMAZED at how much she looks like you, Heidi, in that first picture. I thought the Burgoyne genes were too overpowering, but there you are...just blonde!
I guess it's the second picture...the one of the strategically placed accessories.
I enjoy reading your blog. Your girls are so cute - love the funny things they say.
mom - is really Aunt Margaret in Providence. I don't know how I got that "mom" signature on my comments.
