Booster Seats

I finally gave in to the fact that Bennett and Lila were busting out of their infant seats and so we upgraded to some booster seats today! They did very well eating their first lunch in their new seats. Don't they look proud?
Hope everyone is having a great week!
Love, Nicole

I can't believe how big they have gotten. They are both so handsome/beautiful. What a great addition to the LSU fan club! And I can't believe how much Elise looks like Nicole. She is so cute!I hope you all are well. I check the blog on a regular basis...pretty much everyday as one of my get out of working duties. David, sorry I haven't posted before...I thought I needed a google account but just realized that it was very easy to sign up. I will make regular posts from now on so that it looks like you all have at least two friends :) I love and miss you all!

Anonymous said...: David and Nicole - You have been blessed with 3 beautiful children! I think Elise is the spitting image of Nicole, and in that booster seat picture especially Bennett looks a lot like David! And Lila is just the perfect blend of both of you!; January 20, 2008 at 6:58 PM

Elise

Elise Laurent was born at 5:00 p.m. on July 19, 2005. We did not find out her sex during my pregnancy and we were thrilled to tears (and slightly shocked) to meet our beautiful baby girl. She was a big baby at 8lbs, 8oz, and David and I couldn't take our eyes off of her. Elise is an old French name that David and I have always loved. Laurent is both my paternal Grandfather's name and my Dad's middle name. We always dreamed of having a daughter and were so thankful and overwhelmed to be given such a blessing.
Elise is a true first born. She likes structure, likes to fully understand everything, likes her questions answered to her satisfaction. She loves to be challenged and to challenge. She is also highly sensitive and independent.
She is a wonderful big sister to Lila and Bennett....

Lila and Bennett

It would be an understatement to say that we were shocked to learn on November 11, 2006 that we were not expecting baby #2, but baby #2 and #3!! In just shy of two years we would have created quite a family!
But, on June 1st, 2007, at 36 weeks exactly, we were thrilled and completely overcome with joy and gratitude as we welcomed two big, healthy babies into our family. First, Lila Sue, named after my Mom at 7lbs 0.6oz, and secondly, Bennett Raymond, named after David, David's Dad, and my maternal Grandfather, at 7lbs 10.4oz.
Lila has been the vocal one from the start and to this day is still pretty much running the show. She is the life of the party, the entertainer. But she is also the most compassionate, most giving of our children.
Bennett is a true boy. He is active and rough and loves to tackle and throw. He also adores his sisters and his Dad and gives the best hugs around. His big baby blues get me every time.
