Ok, Jamie is right I have been such a SLACKER about my journal. I will try to do better. Elizabeth is still sleeping (8:33 a.m.) so I think now is a good time to try and update. So let's see what the heck have we been doing......
My muffin is 12 months old!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! We had two parties for her. One with just family on her actual birthday, and then a big party on the following Saturday. It was great. She had so much fun. I will post pictures later. She had no problem digging into her little cakes, she was so cute.
I'm going to list all the words she is saying and the new things she is doing:
Words:
Mama
Dada
Bo Bo (that is what she calls Owen)
book
Dora
no
blue
dogs
duck
quack
moo
ball
uh oh
ba ba
more (plus she does the sign language for more)
Papa
Elmo
Things:
She is pulling up and crusing, she tells the dogs no,no,no and shakes her finger at them, she trys to sing, she pats her hands on her knees when I sing, she feeds her Elmo and shares her binky with him, she washes her Dora tub doll with the washcloth, she loves blueberries, she picks out which books she wants me to read, she climbs the stairs, she imitates everything we do, and so much more....something new everyday. She is so fun and amazing.
Tom and I went to Chicago for the 4th of July, well actually for our friend Jimbo's wedding. Elizabeth stayed home with her grandparents. I missed her soooo much, but I did have a grea time in Chicago. We stayed in the city for two days, and went to a museum, took a boat tour, and went to the Taste of Chicago festival. After the two days we went out to the burbs for the wedding. It was a great wedding and we had a blast. Elizabeth had a good time with her grandparents, and did fine. She was very happy to see us when we got home, and could hardly stop hugging me :) We did not stop hugging for days!
Elizabeth, me and my sister are going to Oregon on August 31st for a week. My brother lives there so we are going to see him. Our other sister Susan is going to meet us there. We are going to have so much fun - can't wait!!!! It will be Elizabeth's first time on a plane.
In October we are going back to Disney (of course). I'm hoping they will just give me a key and say move in! Plus we will be going to Maryland in October as well. We also want to try and get to Tenn too.
We bought a new stroller. Cassie remember this....the Peg Perego that has the handle that you can move positions SUCKS!!!!! I am going to sell mine on EBay. We bought the Inglesina Zippy and we LOVE it!!!! I will post pictures of it.
Elizabeth will be graduating from the Holy Cross Mommy & Me tomorrow. I'm really going to miss my Wednesday play days. We have been going to a music class on Tuesdays which has been a lot of fun. In the fall we will be taking baby classes at Nova - three of them. Can't wait.
Oh, I hear a little voice saying Mama, Mama. Gotta run! I will post pictures soon. By the way my camera's flash burned out! How rude is that!
