Oak Knoll Avenue

I'm going to try to post more, writing little snippets about my reflections on motherhood and Elise, and will try to include a photo or two from my phone.  It's a little difficult keeping up with posting all the photos and videos regularly and yet so much happens in between those posts.  She's growing up so fast.  She now waves hi and bye and is learning to sit down from a standing position.  Her sense of humor is emerging more and you can tell that she's learning that daddy is the playful one and mommy is the nurturing one.

As much as I love our home, the reality of living in a cramped apartment with a mobile baby is getting a little difficult.  Our dining area is basically in our living room and Elise has very little space to explore.  We have a hand me down baby-walker but there is nowhere for her to actually walk to.  Unfortunately, living in LA, our options are very limited.  The idea of buying a house seems impossible.  I just know that our living situation will have to change once we have a second child, which is not too far off!
