Fun times in Disney World!






The spring break trip was a success! Let me first say that I would have never have done it without my parents' help. My sister and Blake (who is one month older than Elyse) decided at the last minute to go with us. We had a blast! They were good on the plane and loved playing together the whole trip. We managed to go to the theme parks one day, which was plenty. The other days were spent at the pool, shopping, and eating out!

Our little girl is a week shy of 8 months old and has made big developmental jumps in the past two weeks. She is pretty much crawling, it's just a little sloppy right now. :-) She is trying to talk and said "da da" yesterday. She is finally opening her mouth to eat her baby food! Yay... bring on the calories! And she is super close to sleeping through the night, thanks to her daddy who has been doing sleep training with her the past few nights. She is only really waking up once during the night and Ryan is able to "pat" her a few times and she goes back to sleep on her own. We are so excited to be close to getting a good night's sleep consistently.

She really just gets more precious everyday, doesn't she? :-) We will go see Dr. Cottrill in a couple of weeks and I will update the blog and let everyone know how that goes. Please keep praying for her heart to stay as strong as it has. We are so blessed by her good health.
