Serious Stuff

I don't know if its just a phase, but Elise

is a pretty serious baby. When she was younger

(about 4-5 mos), she was quicker to smile at

anyone and everyone. Now, she prefers to check

you out thoroughly before deciding to smile

your way. Strangers at the store can pretty much forget

getting a smile out of her (much to their chagrin).

But don't misunderstand, she is the sweetest baby!

Like I said, its hard to make her smile...

...unless your name is Jackson.

She has tons of smiles for her big brother!

Meet Kiki

Kiki is one of Jackson's new friends from school.

As the only other boy in the class (of 9), they have

a lot in common! They immediately hit it off and

are pretty much inseparable at school. Kiki is about

9 months older than Jackson and will be going to

kindergarten next fall but Jackson is able to keep up

with him for the most part. They like to pretend

they are dinosaurs, act silly and chase eachother

around.
