Wild Woman!

She’s a wild woman! Elizabeth has been so much fun the past couple of months. She’s been on the move—almost crawling. She get’s around, though. She rolls and scootches to get to where she needs to go. She’s also been enjoying getting around in her walker. Mommy introduced Elizabeth to some measuring cups the other day and they seem to be her new favorite toy. Two of her other favorite toys include her Leapster Learning Table that was a hand-me-down from her cousins, Olivia and Lauren. We think she likes it so much because she likes to show off that she can stand by “herself”. She also likes her “Exploration Station” that Olivia and Lauren (and Aunt Danielle and Uncle Curtis) got her for Christmas. She will play for long periods of time by herself. Her babysitter, Maria, says that she plays much better independently than most babies her age.

Mommy is finished with work for the summer. She’s looking forward to spending the summer with Elizabeth. Maria is insisting that Elizabeth come visit her at least once a week during the summer so that Elizabeth doesn’t forget her.

A few weeks ago, Grammy and Papaw came to visit from Ohio. Elizabeth enjoyed being spoiled by them. This past weekend, Becca’s Godmother, Jan, came for a quick visit. It was great to see her and for “Aunt Jan” to meet Elizabeth. Yesterday was Daddy’s first Father’s Day. The neighbors are going to think that mommy is a slave-driver because Daddy was out mowing the lawn in the heat on his first Father’s Day! (He likes his yard to look nice.)

Elizabeth is eating solids three times a day. Yesterday she tried guacamole and refried beans for the first time. Last night, grandma, grandpa, grandma-ma, and Cody came over for dessert. Grandma and Grandma-ma brought some berry cobbler, which Elizabeth tried. It wasn’t until afterward that we realized that the cobbler may not have been a great idea. She was very hyper. . . I didn’t think about all the sugar in the cobbler!

Right now, she’s watching her Daddy wash the deck from the sliding glass doors in the living room. He’s “playing” with her by squirting the hose on the sliding door.

I will try to update the site a little more often, now that I’m off for the summer.
