Easter and other happenings

Trip to the dentist ended in the removal of her two baby front teeth that just didn't want to let go. Plus she got a new prescription for eyeglasses. These are her new frames. She's really growing up!

EASTER!


No Cavities, yay!

Everyone is so happy when Daddy is awake during the DAY! ALMOST done with Night shift..


She loves to come up behind me and hand onto the back of my pants. Makes it really hard to get around sometimes :)

Elisabeth 10 months

She is getting to be more and more fun all the time. She can pull herself up to standing now. She has 6 teeth (two on bottom and 4 on top)

She learned to clap (after Rachelle Meek watched her one day) and enjoys doing so. She loves to eat just about everything. She has moved onto eating mostly table food at this point. Once in a while she still has baby food from a jar, but she is staring to protest it more and more.

She hates getting her face cleaned, nose wiped, shirt put on and she is my child that doesn't want to lie still to have her diaper changed, which can get really messy sometimes. She has gone from being our most challenging baby, to being quite a happy baby most of the time. She loves her big sisters and she loves to be outside and to go for walks.

She is cruising along everything, and even starting to let go and stand on her own for a few seconds. She loves to unfold help with the laundry and empty the dishwasher (even when you are trying to fill it up). 

She scares really easily. She doesn't like to be tossed up into the air like a lot of babies do. She's not so sure about the ceiling fan in our room and yelling can make her cry (and I mean any loud, sudden hollering type yelling...not that I yell at her). She's a tender heart.

Pretty girl

Here is Elisabeth in one of her "cloth" diapers. I know everyone thinks I'm weird for trying it out (even Justin). Home births, cloth diapers! I'm pretty much a freak, right?! Well, whatever! It's my life and I get to live it how ever I please :) And it's actually much easier than I ever thought it would be.

WE are crazy about this girl!

Elisabeth 9 months

I feel so lucky to have this little girl. Well, all my girls. Babies are just THE BEST though. The time is going by way too quickly.

Her 9 month stats:

Weight: 18.8 lbs (49% - she shot way up on this from her 6 month at which she was only 12%)
Length: 26.75" (21% - down from 23.5% @ 6 months)
Head: 43.5cm (33%)

She started crawling just after her 9 month mark. I thought she'd be less whiny after she started moving more freely, but then she just started following me around and whining. What a sweet heart.

Elisabeth 8 Months

I'm way behind on the blogging of Elisabeth's first year. Here is her 8 Month picture.
