Airplane!

This morning we played a little game of airplane. Elsa seemed to like it. Luckily, drool isn't a liquid that's prohibited on my airline. In fact, I think it's pretty cute.


A couple weeks ago, we read in a book that our baby should be able to hold her head at a 45 degree angle. It was alarming. 45? She could barely lift up at all. I admit, we've been pretty bad at making her do tummy time. It was too hard watching her cry and struggle and not be able to breathe, with her face smashed into the floor. But, not wanting her to lag behind, I started her on tummy time just last week. And look at her now! That's a 90 degree angle, folks. You can see by her furrowed brow that it's taking her full concentration, but she's doing it. And she just started LAST WEEK! I obviously can't take any credit for this milestone. She's simply advanced, a.k.a. genius.

Happy...

birthday to the hubby! Over the weekend, we went to my parents house for his birthday dinner. Mom made a fabulous feast: shrimp scampi over linguine, salad, stuffed mushrooms, and banana splits. Yes, I took a picture of my dessert. Sadly, it's not the first time.

I heard tons of people showed up to the Turf on Friday. I miss everyone and hope to see you at the next show!

greatest job ever

Today we went for a walk down the Wyoming bike trail. It was probably the last nice day of the year to do so. Elsa slept the entire time. She did a lot of gurgling and drooling today, which i'm sure wore her out. I can't wait until next year when we can pull her around behind our bikes.
Tonight the hubby is playing with his band at the Turf Club. I'm home with the baby. We're partying. Of course I miss seeing all of my friends at the show, but I know there will be plenty of other opportunities.

Happy Thanksgiving

This year we had another lovely Thanksgiving in St. Cloud. The hubby's family is rather large, so there's never a dull moment. Plenty of good people to talk to. Elsa got to see her many great aunts and uncles and cousins. Here she is with her third cousin Ani, who was sweet enough to read Elsa a book. Those two kids really liked eachother.

operators are standing by

Today my sis came over at 9 a.m. She brought breakfast from Big Apple Bagels, and I made the coffee. That's teamwork. Then I went to work on a brochure for her chiropractic clinic. She's hoping to stir up some business so mom and dad can retire. She's a very talented young lady. You should all go visit her in her fancy office in Bloomington, MN. She'll make you feel like a million bucks.

3 months old

Elsa's 3 month birthday is tomorrow. In honor of the occasion, I decided to start a blog so family and friends can track her progress. I'll also be writing some things about the family, and life in general. I'm home all day, so why not?
