Walks like an angel...

Coach and I just got a glimpse of this and could not stop laughing. Oh man...do we love our little devil.

I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home...

Baby gets so excited when Robbie comes home from being gone all weekend. Last time he came home we went up and played with her in her room and this is some of the footage we got.

Little Monkey...babies got skills.

Baby clapping congratulations to her newly acquired skill. Yay baby!

It was seriously cute. I've been trying to get her to clap for a while now, then suddenly while we were at the volleyball game something clicked and she figured it out! No there is no stopping her, she does it all day long. Monkey see, monkey do I suppose. Now if we can only work on her focus...her feet seem to be a distraction in almost all situations. :)

Crawling Chicky

So she's been doing this for a while and is even better at it now but I thought I'd post these from January 3rd. Crazy how far she's come since then.

Little Bunny Foo Foo

So baby had her 6 month appointment on December 19, 2008 and these are the results.

Weight-16lbs 3oz

Height-26in

She LOVED the butcher paper on the doctors table as well as the mirror. She was in heaven making loud crunchy noises and looking at the cute smiling baby in front of her. She was being so funny and I didn't catch it on camera. I'm always a little to slow on draw but here's a little something that I did catch.

Now that I can upload videos lots will be coming. I know I said that before but it's true this time! We've been having a blast watching her sit up, start talking, do breakdancing stalls while she rocks up on her knees (she'll be crawling any second now), and eating all her solids. We made her a bunch of healthy baby foods that she loves, namely sweet potatoes and apples. What I love most has to be the many faces she makes when she loves and/or hates different foods. I also love that she's an incredibly clean eater...I don't know that I could handle the squishy food everywhere so it's much appreciated. :) Anyway, we're having a blast watching her learn and grow! Come visit and see for yourself!

Miss Giggles.

So here is one of the many videos I've been trying to post. This is our friend Julie getting some giggles and squeals out of Elizabeth over thanksgiving. The object of the excitement is her much beloved dog Hugo. From what I hear she was laughing more than squealing while I was in the loo before whipping out the camera and catching the end of her delirium.

Loud Noises!

So we've been having tons of fun at the Neilson house lately. Baby has been entertaining us all day long. First of all, last night baby slept from 8:30 till 7:00! Rejoice in your rejoicing! So I went in at 7:00 to unwrap her from her baby straight jacket, she smiled, giggled, and tooted as I lovingly unraveled her layers, turned on some music and gave her something to play with. She played in her crib until 7:45 when we went in to get her for the morning. (If you want to join us in all our sleeping glory buy 12 hours of sleep by twelve weeks old, it's an awesome book) So while Rob and I were hanging out waiting for 7:45 to go get her, she was having a grand old time talking 100 miles a minute to Hugo (her dog) and Gajah (her elephant). I wish I had a sound byte of what we heard. We were cracking up. Anyway, things have just been so fun and so bittersweet as we watch her grow. Her newest accomplishment is, yes you guessed it, ROLLING! I can't believe how excited I got as I watched her roll over during tummy time today. I don't know what came over me but I was squealing with elation, jumping up and down, followed quickly by an assault of kissing. Baby was just as excited as I was, not about rolling over because I'm pretty sure she was thinking what the...just happened?...but my reaction to something she did made her ecstatic. So from giggling and talking, rolling over, constantly grabbing her feet and eating her hands, attacking her animal friends when the get anywhere near her mouth, and sleeping through the night...this is definitely my favorite age yet.

Will the real Sarah Palin please stand up?

So I'll admit SNL has taken a dive since...well, like 1998. Not to say that this is any sort of a comeback because don't get too excited, this isn't that funny, but when I saw a still frame of this I seriously thought it was Sarah Palin. So I guess good work Tina Fey...for looking like someone you could make fun of. Haha, it is pretty funny.
