First Haircut & 11 Months!


The mop before...
Waving to everyone in our big girl chair!
Side view of the crazy hair... & I couldn't believe that my "baby" was big enough to sit in a haircutting chair by herself. She looked so grown up sitting there with her cape on!
Helping "brush hair", and as you can see she is very proud of herself for "helping"!
She was constantly looking in the mirrors at herself and making these funny faces. If you have seen Elle for more than 2 seconds, you have seen one of these faces! This one is my FaVoRiTe!


She never cried...she just kept making these faces!


Getting a blow dry!
Love my thumb and "silky-woobie"
The most expressionless face you'll ever see. I had just taken away her blanket and she was in shock!
And the final product! I LoVe it! It is so stinkin' cute. I know many of you will be happy (Diana) since a hair/mullet-cut was way overdue! (Also love the cutest diaper butt in 'them jeans'!)

Oh, and I forgot to add what she is doing new lately...she is WALKING!! She took her first few steps about 2-3 weeks ago and is getting more confident every day. She has taken about 15 steps at most, so hopefully by her first birthday she will be walking more than she crawls! (Not sure how long that process/transition is?)

She is also becoming a signing maniac. Her vocabulary consists of (in no particular order): "milk, more, all done, please, thank you, sorry, ball (says ball), shoes, book, bath, dog (says dog and barks), hat (says hat), food/eat. I think that is all...
Another funny thing she does with her signs is she will sit in her bed and I guess she is practicing or something, because she will do like 5 signs in a row while she is sitting there either waking up or trying to wind down...just talking to herself I guess. (we have a camera monitor, so we have fun watching "Elle TV")

Halloween!!


Our little punk rock ballerina enjoyed her first sucker as a reward for all her hard work getting her parents a lot of candy! She's the cutest punk rock ballerina I've ever seen...the hawk was a big hit!
