Tired

Steph was cleaning Lizzie's old car seat (will be Ellie's) and Lizzie thought she would climb in. Guess she was tired. :-)

Pumpkin Patch, etc.

Update and reminder

Lizzie's creativity is starting to show. Just now she grabbed her Disney princesses book bag of sorts (thank you Uncle Bubba and Auntie Karen), said "Bye-bye" and headed for the door. She intentionally went out of my sight... and after a few moments, came back into sight as though she had just come back from a trip. It's pretty dang cute.

As for the reminder: don't forget about the baby pool for Ellie. Deadline is November 15. There's still quite a few folks who haven't thrown in their guess.

Still our little girl

This is from right before bed time the other night. Lizzie just couldn't quite make it.

Even though some days it seems she is growing up so fast, this just goes to show she is still very much our little girl.

Fun in the Kitchen

Daddy bragging

Our little girl is really starting to come into her own.

From this past week:

• Lizzie has started using a fork. She seems to understand the concept. Now it's just a matter of the practical use of it. She likes the stabbing food part, still working on the "get it to the mouth" part.
• Lizzie has rhythm. We all know she likes to dance, but sitting last night, listening to her GloWorm, she was clapping her hand on her leg in rhythm and on beat.
• Lizzie really has the concepts of some words down. Last night, playing on the far side of the living room, I asked her where her ball was (which was on the other side of the room out of view behind a chair). She promptly stopped what she was doing, directly crawled over to it and hit it in my direction.

That's a smart girl right there.
