Oh baby!



Due to popular demand (Nima bugging me to no end), we are back with another edition of Elysse to the max. In this edition we have Elysse and Jayna Fitzner, Grandma Olsen and Gramma Pylypiuk, Elysse in her pretty jacket that Sarah made, easter eggs, and bubbles.

We are enjoying all the new things that Elysse can do. Her latest tricks include walking, and talking to her bottle like it is the phone.

Check back soon to see the videos of the new tricks.

Till next time...

She once was sick but now she's better!

Elysse was pretty sick for about 5 or 6 days with that nasty virus that was going around. We wondered where our little bunny had gone because the bundle of energy that we used to know was reduced to a blob on the ground.

Finally after a trip to emergency (when she barfed 17 times in one day), we were told that she had to get her food (ok, baby electrolyte) in 5ml increments from a syringe (so she could keep it down). Slowly she started the road to recovery... and now she's back.

Here is the picture progression-

Before: Happy, Smiley, Mischievous




During: Lethargic, Barfy, Skinnier




After: Happy, Smiley, Mischievous

Elysse Fest - March

Under duress due to threats of physical violence I have been forced to post more pictures of Elysse. She is what keeps us most busy these days, and most happy. It won't be long till she's walking, so I'm sure there will be a new video soon.

We love you all!

And so it shall be...



Nima asked me to post some more pictures of Elysse, and so it shall be. I hope this does tides you over for a bit Neems.

Elysse has been up to a lot of moving around recently. She tends to get into everything, and have a great time doing it.

Funny story (well in theory its funny, but it was a little sad for someone):

Elysse has been able to get on the brown vinyl ottoman for quite a while now; but recently she started standing on it. As you can see from the one picture, she gets right up and stands against the TV.

One time I was sitting on the couch when she pulled this trick. I told her that she better be careful or else she would fall. I got up to get her and, just as I stood up, she looked back, lost her balance and fell on her head.

She cried for a bit and then she was fine. Oh the joys of childhood!

Till next time...

We like our bottles

If there is one thing we like over at our house, it is bottle time. It usually follows a successful nap, and is often polished off pretty quickly.

Ok, I don't usually drink a bottle (I haven't for quite some years now), but since Elysse usually has her bottle on the floor I sometimes feel sorry for her and lay down with her.

Obviously she enjoys bottles more than I do, but sometimes it is fun to try to remember what life looked like from the perspective of a baby.

Till next time...

Drips and Bubbles


Well, I think I've made my decision, and so I'd like to formally welcome you to the new Olsen Family Web by sharing with you a special video that I made. The star of the show is Elysse.

I think you will all agree that this is worth the 1 minute and 30 seconds you spend watching.

Till next time...
