Lizzie Lou is walking EVERYWHERE now! I was just eating a waffle in the kitchen while she was standing and holding onto the dishwasher. Then, she let go and walked clear across the kitchen without stopping! Needless to say the waffle was ignored while I started clapping and praising her! She would still rather crawl, but she can walk without any help now!

She is 10 1/2 months....wow, so close to 1 year.....I have a baby that is almost 1 year old? Doesn't seem possible sometimes :-)

Other Lizzie news: She points to things and babbles, its so cute! She loves the cat and dog, and will pat them (not pet, pat - like you do to a drum LOL) She is learning how to throw fits too - oh I love it when she throws her head back and cries her heart out....fun times. And her newest favorite toy is pens or pencils. If she has one and you take it away from her she will get so upset! She hasn't poked herself too bad yet, so we'll see. I don't let her walk with them, only crawl.

God bless!

I can't get a picture of her walking towards me...this is the best I could do so far! Don't you just love the hands? LOL
And this is a pic of her walking towards me. Notice the look of complete concentration!

All in a Day's Work for Lizzie Lou

Yesterday Lizzie decided "girls just want to have fun" and she had a lot of it. These are all from yesterday. A different family member helped her to make a seperate mess. Enjoy the following pics and I have a blog to follow!
Here she is with MeMa, emptying out Grandad's sock drawer. She was not satisfied until it was completely empty. As soon as I put some socks back in, she pulled them right out again!

I was out of the room and asked Daddy to watch her. He decided to give her a cheap toy - a fresh new roll of toilet paper! When I came back, she was busy unrolling it. I have to admit that I placed the paper on her head, but the mess was all her and daddy. After she was done with this mess, I just gathered it up and put it on the back of the toilet for his own future use.

I saved the best for last!! Lizzie has a facination with feeding herself. So I stripped her down to her diaper, gave her a bowl of pureed peaches and waited for the fun to begin! She had so much fun!

Now for the updates! She still only takes 2 or 3 steps before sitting down and crawling everywhere. She loves to wave hi and bye bye! She also waves when she says goodnight to MeMa and Grandad, it's so cute. She is finally getting her top teeth. Her top left tooth is through and the right one is getting there. She has broadened her list of favorite foods to include lemons, funny girl. I had one on my tea glass and gave it to her as a joke and she ended up loving it.

Till later!

Lizzie is 10 months old today

I can't believe it! She is doing so much! She took her first steps last night at Friday night dinner! Everyone saw her and was clapping and cheering, what a great moment. Lizzie looked around with a huge grin. Then, Mike Marino looked around and asked "why is everyone cheering?" lol poor guy missed the big moment! Oh well, we love him anyways!

If I am singing in the car, she will sing along in a singing type voice. She says "Da" when she sees the dog. And if I ask her "where is the ceiling fan?" she tips her head way back, looks at the ceiling and points up. Angel will bark whenever Evie and Ray get home at night and when she does Lizzie will get so excited, kicking and laughing! And she also knows the sign language for eat. She puts her hands to her mouth over and over when she is hungry. She is growing up so fast. I love interacting with her, she is so much fun!

God bless you all! Lizzie is wanting my attention, so I'll post more later!
