No Picture

I don't have a picture to share with my entry. I think this is the first time ever, but I wanted to share some new developments Elizabeth has made in the last week.

Elizabeth is getting better and better at walking. She will follow you anywhere you go. She even did a good job with her church shoes on yesterday. She doesn't wear shoes very often so they can be a challenge for her.

Elizabeth is getting so smart. When we laugh, she will force out a laugh too. I will tell her to give her baby a love, and she will walk over and kiss her doll. She knows what her blanket is and will go and retrieve it when I ask her too. And my favorite is when she brings a book to me in the chair wanting me to read her a story.

She is also become a really good eater. There is one condition at meal time though, she has to be able to put her food in her mouth herself. (She is independent like her mother.) Yesterday at dinner she had strawberry jello, mashed potatoes, and broccoli for the first time. We also discovered that pasta and strawberries are among her favorites. I gave her some cut up strawberry for the first time last week and then proceeded to enjoy my own strawberry and she got mad at me for not sharing with her.

It is fun being Elizabeth's mom and watching her grow.
