some quick updates

i know, we are so behind on posting photos and videos.  i have been swamped.  one day, one day.

elise's latest development is that she loves to DANCE!  if there's music, she loves to bounce and shake her head and smile.  it is too cute!  today at church, many people noticed and commented on her ability to dance throughout the worship service.  shes likes to press her musical toys over and over again so that she can dance.  i love it!

this is a few weeks old, but she likes to clap to the korean game "jjak jjak koong" and sign for "milk".  she signs for milk when she is trying to sign for other words.  we were at a friend's house today and i tried showing them how she signs for milk, and she came careening towards me and tried to pull down my shirt.  i'm so excited for her to learn other signs!

she loves reading and responds to different interactive books, like lifting flaps, turning pages, and touching different textured surfaces.  bryant reads to her every night as part of their nighttime bonding.

we are still sleep training her, albeit slowly and gently.  after some regression, we are back to having bryant put her down in the bed and then transfer her once she falls asleep.  she is not crying this way.  in a few days, he will start putting her down in the crib.  the last few nights he tried this, she screamed her head off and so he decided to scale it back a little since we had taken a break from sleep training due to scheduling issues.  ONE DAY elise will go down in her crib happily and actually sleep through the night.  one glorious day!!!
