4 months old

Hey all - sorry for the lack of updated posts. You know how it is this time of year. I know you want to get straight to Elsa news, so let's take a look back at some pre-Four month photos, shall we?

This is a photo of her in her new Exersaucer, at about 3 1/2 months. The box said "4 months and up", but I figured since she's advanced she could handle it early. Well... as you can see she's struggling to sit upright. I attribute this mostly to a malfunction with the fabric seat, and not with her abilities. What kind of support do you get with a flimsy fabric seat? Not much, I tell you.



Here she is rockin' a new onesie that dad got on a recent trip to Kansas. I photoshopped out the naughty word. Good thing she can't read yet.



Lately, all Elsa wants to do is chomp on whatever is in sight. She loves her new teether ring. This is what she looks like most of the time.



Last but not least, here is our talented little infant doing her best Renee Zellweger impersonation:


Happy Holidays, everyone!

Top 10

Last March I went to Texas with the band. This weekend they're in Kansas and i'm here. Yep, life has changed. Or... has it?
Top 10 reasons why spending time with a band is a lot like staying home with a baby:

10. Very little sleep
9. Lots of eating
8. Noxious odors
7. Cleaning up messes that aren't yours
6. Calming the irritable
5. Deciphering babble
4. Having fun till you pass out
3. Good tunes
2. Good company
1. Good times overall

And lastly, what blog entry would be complete without some new pictures of Elsa? Here she is on the verge of discovering her feet.



Here, dad changes a diaper and gets a smile.

Bravo

I finally got to see the band play for the first time since July. I had missed seeing them and thought they did great. Beforehand, we went out with some friends to The King and I. Best Thai and Mojitos ever. I meant to bring my camera to capture the good times, but you'll just have to take my word for it. It was great seeing everyone and hanging out in the city again.

Elsa was exceptionally cute this weekend. Here she is in her new hat, christmas outfit, and playing in her gym. Her tongue is sticking out in every photo. It goes hand in hand with all the drooling she's been doing lately.
