Elise Taylor

Elise was born on October 16, at about 12:50pm. It was a pretty fast and fairly easy delivery. Hurray for the epidural. She was 8 lbs 8.3 oz (8 lbs 7 oz according to the first scale, but the nursery scale said 8 lbs 8.3 oz). She is 20 inches long. Here are pictures from the hospital and one from home.

I forget how purple they are at the very first.
Here is one with Matt holding Elise. It is fuzzy, but it is the only one with him.
Here is Lindsay holding Elise. Lindsay loves to hold the baby. She would hold her all day long.
Seth loved looking out the window more than looking at the baby.

Kara didn't like to hold the baby. For some reason she loves to sit by the baby and look and talk to her and have her hold her fingers, but she doesn't want to hold her.
Here is one with Elise here at home. She almost looks like she is smiling.

Congratulations! She is beautiful and I love the name. And watch out. Kara might warm up to holding the baby. That's what James did. And now she thinks she can carry her around by herself.
