9 Months Old


Elizabeth is 9 months old today! I love this picture of her because she looks ever so slightly crazy ;-) At 9 months old, Lizzie is a confident stander and has even been cruising for a couple of weeks now. She is working on her balance and can stand completely unsupported for up to 20 seconds or so, and she's solid as a rock... no wobbling involved :) Her favorite activity is for us to say "Where is Lizzie?" and then exclaim "There she is!". She loves to turn the pages in books and then sample them for taste and texture ;-) She is a good eater and will pretty much take down anything I offer her. We love you baby girl!

OK, so I'm going to start adding in some of my own things here about Lizzie:
- She loves to come play with Micah's hair while he is getting his diaper changed which makes things interesting
- She LOVES her momma more than anyone else. I just love watching her look at Abby
- When I carry her up to her room at night she lays her head down on my shoulder as soon as we walk into her room (sometimes earlier if she is really tired)
- This one is for both kids. I love the last few moments of the day with both Micah and Lizzie. Abby gets them up in the morning, and I put them to bed. Those last few moments are some of the sweetest moments I get with the kids. It is sometimes the only time it is just me and that kid. For Micah it is usually a time of laughter, hugs, speaking truth to him and lots of kisses. For Lizzie at this point it is a time for me to speak truth to her and just cuddle with her. If my coworkers or anyone else wonders why I would rather work at 10PM instead of 7PM, now you know why :)
- Lizzie's second favorite person in the world is her bubs...it is so fun to watch her follow him around and just watch his every move.
- I love the days when Lizzie is awake when I get home from work. I get the biggest smiles that just says "I LOVE YOU DADDY!!"
- Lizzie sounds like Micah. Sometime we will hear one of the kids make a sound and Abby and I look at each other and ask "which one was that?". I know there are a ton of things I could add, but I will stop there.
Love you Lizzie Boo!
