More walking practice for Elsie

Elsie is doing great with her walker, and we can already tell a differnce in her strength she has in her legs. This is just a cute little video of Brent playing with Elsie and getting her to walk from couch to couch. This is the most she has ever walked...so that is really great! I love how she has to rub Dads newly shaved head for good luck...she gets a little mad a few times when he forgets to let her do it! What a cutie!

And by the way...I am tired of no one commenting anymore!!! Seriously!!!

That is so great, I even got a little choked up. It is so fun to see her progress and see how determined she is. We could all learn something from this sweet child.

YEA ELSIE!! She is doing great! She was blessed to have such great parents!

Love it, love it. You guys must be so excited with every little bit of improvement she makes. She is looking like she'll be a walking pro soon. She is such a beautiful, happy little girl.

Brent seems like such a good dad. You can tell your girls just love him.

Rachel said...

You're a good mom, too. We can't forget about you.

I know that you don't really know me...but please excuse me for "blog lurking"! I am the cousin of Drew and Heather and have loved looking in on your blog...I guess I should formally ask permission huh! Anyhow...I just wanted to let you know how inspiring you guys are! I love keeping up with little Elsie and the girls and love the adoration that you two have for your family!
Thanks for making me smile!

Sara said...

Oh! So exciting! That was so fun to watch! She is doing awesome!!! I love the close up on Brent and Elsie! So sweet!

So, how come Brent shaved his hair off?

Love you!

Kim, just you know I love reading your blog. I especially enjoy all the great things you and your family are up to since I don't see you all the time. But if I don't comment it's not that I don't want to. It's cause someone has already said what I wanted to say and I don't want to look like I'm copying some else's commment. So I will try to be better!! Elsie is doing amazing at her progress. I know someday she will be walking by herself. I saw our friends who has a son who could only walk with a walker a few months back but when I saw him yesterday he was walking all by himself with some leg braces. We have so much to learn from these little ones!!!

Wow!!! It gave me chills to watch this video. Elsie is an amazing little girl. Way to go!!

Brittany said...

Good Job Elsie! I am amazed a how quickly she is gaining strength! I was cracking up at the rubbing Ben's head for good luck! What a funny little one. I love her!

Hey Kim, I am commenting. Elsie is very cute and I love all the updates.

Angela said...

Sorry Kim, sometimes I get into lurker mode and I forget to comment on the blogs I read, even though I enjoy the post. I feel the same way you do, though. The last post I did that was mega long, I got only like 2 or 3 comments and it's so hard to care about posting more if you don't know who is reading it or who even cares that you take the time. So, yay Elsie! She is looking dang good walking.

Love the video. So fun to watch. She is doing so well, I can't believe how strong she is getting already. You have one strong little family.

Love Brent's shaved head....looks good. I have been trying to get my hubby to do the same. :)

Go Elsie go Elsie go Elsie go!!!

She is doing fantastic! I'm so glad that you got the walker for her! Elsie is an amazing baby.

And I agree with Steph and Sara...you get WAY more comments on your posts, and you should just quit complaining! Ü

Way to go Elsie, her smile is so infectious, I just can't help but smile seeing her cute face, and glad she is doing so well.
