Growing Girl!
We've had a lot of milestones over the last couple months. Elizabeth is changing and growing so fast, I can hardly keep up. Every day I am surprised by the things she does.
It's hard to see, but this is her very first pig tail!!!
Her hair is even long enough for bow clips!
She gets more fun every day. She talks a lot more, smiles more, laughs more. She has even started feeding herself her little snack foods. I can just put her in a seat and put gerber snacks or rip up pieces of bread or something and she just sits there and has herself a snack. It frees me up a little more for cooking and cleaning. She can sit and see me and I talk to her, and she's completely happy. She's so FUN!!!
Attacking a piece of bread in her high chair with the new cover Grandma Camp made for her. :)
She knows what it feels like to have a monkey on her back.... :)Thanks Grandpa Camp! :)
p.s. That's her "tough stuff" face. Don't mess with her.
She's a kitty!I feel guilty that I haven't posted for so long, but such is the life of the working mother, I suppose. I have been trying to deal with the guilt that I feel for only spending about 5 hours a day with Elizabeth (excluding weekends of course, when I get to spend ALL day with her!). I feel a lot of jealousy that my sister gets to spend 9 hours with her. But I figure it helps make me a well-rounded mother and helps me appreciate the time I have with her more.
She's a very happy girl in the mornings. She is a good audience while I get ready for work.
She doesn't even mind getting strapped in to go to Aunt Melanie's house.Anyway. Elizabeth has changed a lot in the last couple months. She now rolls over all the time, it's basically her way of getting wherever she wants to go without having to deal with that pesky crawling, which she is getting frighteningly close to. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks. Or she will pump her legs but not move her arms, which somehow ends up making her scoot backwards. She has been getting stuck underneath chairs and things that are behind her because of it. I have to keep a close eye on that girl.
She does odd things with her legs sometimes. This is her idea of halfway between sitting up and crawling.
Look! I'm kind of, almost crawling!
She can sit up like a big girl!
She doesn't mind when mom gets her all dressed up.
