I can’t wait for the arts and crafts phase!

Michael was in town for a visit a couple weeks ago and he was a big hit! Elsie instantly loved his glasses and enjoyed constantly playing with the case. Elsie wanted to show her papa all her cool stuff so she first took him to the Denver Zoo! Elsie enjoyed a great view on Papa’s [...]

Elsie went in for her 18 month check up and all is well. She is still in the 25th percentile for height and the 5-10 percentile for weight – she’s just a little one! We had another round of shots (but this was the final round until age 5!) – there were some tears, but [...]

We have tried Gymboree and during the week Elsie goes to Kangaroo Kingdome which has lots of activities but we wanted to make sure we were giving Elsie the proper instruction on how to do a perfect somersault. We found Little Gym and signed up for the Little [...]
