Since Elizabeth turns a year in less than a week, I figured I should probably wrap this post up and finally hit "Publish"!
------------------------
Only one away from ONE YEAR old!! I still can't believe it!!
Elizabeth is so much fun and such a mess!! She definitely has a strong little personality and is one tough cookie!! She can hold her own against Carson and has been called {lovingly} a brute by her teachers at school. She is definitely my child... quite a busy body and is always getting into whatever she can. She's pretty destructive and can clear a coffee table empty a bag or drawer in no time! :-) She is also fascinated with plugs. I can't seem to keep her away. No bueno.
She is as happy as can be and is a favorite among her teachers for her easy-going personality. You can tell she's a second child because she is very go-with-the-flow.
She's still sleeping great... she's usually asleep by 7, if not sooner, and will sleep until 7-7:30. Nap times at school are still pretty weak. She's usually just getting in one nap for about an hour. She'll sleep practically all weekend though... easily 2 naps that are at least 2 hours each, often more!
She's getting the hang of table food pretty good now and loves shredded cheese, graham crackers, beans, most meat, green beans. She's usually pretty good at trying most anything.
She still will nurse at night, but I've not been as great about pumping lately and can tell my supply is going down. I'm just thankful she still wants to nurse some. Carson was for sure over it by this point.
She's started shaking her head "no" for just about everything. Other than "ma ma" and "da da", she really hasn't tried to say much else.... Carson does most of the talking. She does try to say "uh oh", but it comes out "uh uh."
She still hasn't quite taken off walking which is shocking to me because she's been cruising around furniture for a LONG time now. She's also been standing on her own really easily for a long time. She's got the balance, but hasn't quite gotten brave enough to take off. When she does, she'll be moving!! She's taken about 5 steps at most.... It's been like that for easily over a month. I think her first steps on her own were just under 10 months. I thought FOR SURE she'd be off by now, but I think she's perfectly happy with crawling. This girl can scoot!!!
"Boo" baby!!!
She LOVES her brother!!!
Never too early for Christmas jammies!
Veteran's Day!
She had to join me at work one day... like I said. She's destructive.
Practicing for her birthday!
Add tamales to the list of food she likes!
