More on Elsa...

On the other hand, Elsa is doing absolutely wonderful. She is now 5 months old. She is sitting up independently. She is so active and determined. She can twist and turn her body in crazy ways in order to reach something she has her eye on. And she won't give up until she gets it. Brandon said the other day "should we be teaching Elsa on how to transition from laying to sitting". Sometimes she falls over and she gets so mad when she can't sit back up. But I said "not Elsa...Elsa gets to be just Elsa...she will learn on her own...she is already trying to figure out how all by herself". It is hard not to be in therapy mode sometimes. But I am enjoying taking a step back with Elsa and just watching. Watching her do so many things easily that Sophie has struggled with. It fills my heart with joy to just sit back and watch Elsa. I have learned from Sophie not to take these things for granted but to soak in every moment. The way Elsa lights up every time I pass in front of her view. The expression is priceless. The moment will always be cherished in my heart. The way Elsa is just so alert and explorative. Every sound needs to be checked out, every object needs to be looked over. She is just amazing.
