Elsie turned one on June 5th. I try not to gush about my kids on this blog, but for her birthday I will make an exception. 
Elsie has the biggest, round eyes. They are so dark and deep. She also has the best skin, soft and light brown. Sadly both of those traits come from her Dad. I'm still trying to figure out what she got from me.
Right now she is crawling everywhere and loves to climb stairs any chance she gets. She can say about 8 words, including her favorite ones- hello and dadu (doggie). She loves fruit and eating in general. She is very snuggly and gives great hugs and kisses. She is still obsessed with James.
On her birthday, we had a tiny party for her. It was a celebration of fruit (her favorite item as mentioned above). We started the festivities with a blue berry eating contest. Louis creamed everyone.
After some unpopular sticker pictures (babies tried to eat the stickers), we opened a few presents and then moved on to her strawberry cake.
Louis was really great throughout the day. He loved wrapping her presents, handing things to her and telling her throughout the day it was her birthday. The only jealousy came the next day, when he was disappointed to discover that his birthday (which I kept on having to tell him was later the day before) was not June 6th. Luckily he's finally forgotten about it- him asking if it was later everyday was getting a little old.
