7 months!

Elise is 7 months old!  She spent most of this photo shoot with her legs up in the air.  She likes to gnaw on her toes now.

We are leaving for our month-long Pacific Northwest trip tomorrow.  Are we crazy for doing this?  Yes.  But we're going to take advantage of this time when Bryant and I have flexible schedules and we have an apartment that we can easily rent out while we travel.  Our itinerary is: Drive to Sacramento to see cousins there, then drive to Crater Lake, then drive to Portland and spend a few days there.  We then drive to Vancouver for my grandmother's 80th birthday, where all of my father's side of the family will be gathered.  After a week there, we drive down to Seattle for 2 weeks, and then make our way down back home.  We're hoping to do most of our long drives at night so that she can sleep for most of the way. 

Anyway, here are her 7 month photos.  She's growing leaps and bounds!
