Happy Birthday Elise!

Elise had a wonderful first birthday! She was so happy through her party and loved eating her cake! We had a great group of friends and family celebrating with us (though she missed the Aunts and Uncles who couldn't be there). Enjoy the pictures and video of her starting into her cake. I meant to upload the video of her getting sung to, but I must have selected the wrong one.

On another note, the weaning is going much better. I made a few adjustments that worked well. I stopped trying to give her the bottle where I normally nursed her. I also started giving her the bottle earlier rather than right before she was going to sleep. She cries herself to sleep now - about 10-15 minutes of crying - hopefully that amount of crying will get less and less as she gets used to a new routine.
