Eleven Months Old!

I was getting Elizabeth dressed on the morning of her eleven month birthday, and realized I haven't taken many pictures of her in nothing but a diaper, and she's just such a cute naked baby, I had to do her eleven month photo shoot sans clothes.

Yep, I know I'm cute

I LOVE waving! Hello!

And pointing! Hey You!

Her sweetness melts my heart daily

Sweet Baby Blues

Heading up to her room to do the monthly rocking chair shot, she wished me luck in getting one shot of her sitting still!

Look at me go! I love climbing!

Haha Mom! I'm on the move!

Oh there's that sign!

Ah! You got me!

Ten Months!

Happy 9 Month Birthday Elizabeth!

Nine months old and on the move. I couldn't keep the sign out of her reach this time!
Happy nine months sweet sweet Elizabeth!

 

8 Months Old!

Elizabeth's big thing at 8 months was her scoot, so her pictures were taken during a scoot session.

 

 

 

 

Seven Months!

Elizabeth turned seven months old in October! While the big girls were inside watching Sesame Street, Elizabeth and I spent a little time together outside taking pictures.

Our red Maple tree had just lost a bunch of its leaves, and Elizabeth had a great time learning all about them (including how they tasted).

It was a bit chilly that morning, so she got to test out her new cat hat. I think she likes it.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Seven Months to our precious Elizabeth Grace! We're having so much fun watching you grow. You are a mover and a talker. You are so patient and content, you have a wonderful glowing smile, and we love you with all our hearts!

Two and a Half!

While I was putting Elizabeth in her tutu and wings for her six month photo shoot, Emily and Addison decided they also wanted to dress up in their tutus and wings.

After getting dressed up, they wanted to go out to the deck, where they found rain puddles to slurp up.

Dad was inside with Elizabeth, and Emily kept peeking in the window to see what they were up to.

Addison got right to work drying up the puddles. What a helper.

Can we come in, Mom?

And once inside, it was time to put those tutus to use and DANCE!

Some updates on Emily and Addison at two and a half: 

Emily has really turned a corner emotionally, she is having much fewer meltdowns than she was in the last couple of months. She's been saying sweet things often like thank you and sorry to Addie, Mom, and Dad. She's showing much more interest in Elizabeth, and loves her baby sister very much. She wants to snuggle, and loves butterfly kisses, eskimo kisses, and lip kisses. She talks about when she was a "little baby" and notices the things Elizabeth does or wears and says she did that or wore this when she was a little baby. She will only eat from a spoon, and doesn't even like having a fork put by her plate. She thinks they are pokey and scary. She calls Elizabeth "Lizzybiz."

Addie is a gymnast! She loves climbing, swinging, and tumbling. She still loves baby dolls an looks at Anna, her favorite baby, with love in her eyes and wants her to come along for almost everything. Addie likes to serve herself and Emily when I put food on the table and she's very good with a spoon and is learning to use a fork. She is talking more and more. I can have a conversation with her now, but it still takes a lot of concentration and interpretation. She is so very snugly, she loves to sit on a lap, snuggle her head into a chest, and suck her thumb. She calls Elizabeth "Eh."

Updates 11/18/13:

It's so funny how much things change in just a couple short months. Two months after taking these pictures and writing these two and a half year old updates, Emily has learned to tolerate a fork next to her plate, and will even use it once in awhile. :) Addison's favorite baby, Anna, has been replaced by Baby, her blonde baby doll. Anna still gets love, but Baby gets to go everywhere now. Addie now calls Elizabeth, "Izzy."
