Pushing the Laundry Basket

Liz likes walking and will use anything that isn't too heavy as a walker.

Lizzie Looks Worse than the Highchair

Lizzie is doing well eating solids, but Brett and I haven't figured out how to make eating a neater and tidier activity.

Lizzie Loves Pillow Pillow

It's going to be hard to tell Lizzie to give up her favorite comfy item (she hasn't decide what it is yet) since I still have mine. It's a pillow (that I've cleverly named pillow pillow) that I've had since I was eight. Without fail, pillow pillow can help me fall asleep within ten minutes. The pillow gets washed at the drycleaners each year and I keep thinking that I'll break my attachment once and for all, but I always go back to the power of pillow pillow....in fact, pillow pillow is working its magic on Lizzie as well.

Lizzie's First Toothbrush

Lizzie lets us brush her two teeth if we pretend to brush our teeth first.

Pushing a Grocery Cart Backwards is not Easy

When we go to the grocery store, we put Liz in the front seat now instead of carrying her in a baby carrier. She likes being up there, but is always turning around so she can see where we're going rather than watching where we've been. I decided to turn the cart around and push her so she would be facing forward and quickly learned that grocery carts are not easy to push backwards.

Tiny Tots and the Seattle Symphony

We took Liz to her first Tiny Tots show, which is hosted by the Seattle Symphony. Each 30-minute concert offers a range of activities such as sing, dancing, and learning about different instruments. It was amazing to watch Lizzie sit still for 30 whole minutes!
