Allen has been working hard at his landscaping. He only has a few days left of good working time before it gets too cold, so we don't get to see a lot of him. But when he is home, he is a huge help and pretty much the best thing ever as far as Elizabeth is concerned. As soon as he gets home she is all smiles, laughs, and squeals. She has learned that dad is great for fun and games. He never wipes her nose or makes her eat vegetables. He just plays with her and carries her around, except for rare occasions when mom isn't around to do the dirty work. :)
At any rate, Elizabeth is an excellent distraction from other things. She is tons of fun. She has certainly developed a personality. She can be very independent and determined. She will play on the floor by herself for an hour if she is in a good mood and has a mission to accomplish. Her favorite is to chase the cat. She is pretty good at sneaking up on Gizmo (the cat) but when she gets close, she gets excited and screams, thus scaring the cat away. She also loves remotes, cell phones, and lotion bottles. She knows how to make her own fun but sometimes she needs her mommy or daddy to play with her and snuggle her. I love when she wants to snuggle, which I have gotten quite a bit of, thanks to the teething. She's needed a bit more comfort.
It's easy for daddy to make her smile from behind the camera.
She also has matching mittens.
If you want to know why she only has a sock and shoe on one foot, you will have to ask Aunt Melanie.
She loves this thing. She treats that flower like it's a steering wheel.Elizabeth has figured out how to get around. It seems to be a combo of an army crawl/tippy toe type thing.
