The past few weeks have been full of firsts for Elizabeth. We’ve found that, unlike some babies, she seems to just take in any new experiences and does not let new things scare her. Our neighborhood has a beach and playground close to our house. Elizabeth sat in the sand in her bathing suit for the first time. As she sat in the sand and felt around a little, mommy started “burying” her legs. Several other kids were around and one little girl asked if she could help me. Before we knew it there were 4 or 5 other kids helping to “bury” Elizabeth up to her waist. She ate it up! (Unfortunately, I mean that literally and figuratively—there were several mouthfuls of sand ingested that day.) She also sat in the water and enjoyed it. She enjoys the baby swing at the playground, too.
Friday night, we all went to a minor league baseball game in Waldorf. Elizabeth wasn’t too interested in the baseball game, but had fun listening to Uncle Cody’s iPod and eating a snowcone (we held the syrup—just shaved ice). After the game, there were fireworks. We were curious as to how she’d react to them—she did fine.
Elizabeth has also recently begun to eat Cheerios. Her favorite thing to do with them is to have Mommy throw them at Luther (grandma and grandpa’s dog). She cracks up laughing every time Luther catches a Cheerio in his mouth! She has developed a sudden interest in Luther as she stands at the door of his kennel and talks to him. He’s not sure what to think about her, but he’s just keeping a low profile.
Finally, our little busy-body is crawling—well, kind of. I guess you could call it crawling. She gets up on her hands and knees and ends up moving forward, somehow. I have a feeling that in the next couple of days I’ll be regretting ever trying to get her to crawl.
