Thoughtful Thursday

After having a fun-filled and busy week and weekend, Elizabeth and I have taken it easy this week so far! Even though we already miss our Gammie, Grammie, Pops, and PawPaw, it's been a great, relaxing week with just the two of us!


  • Monday we all went to my doctor for my monthly check-up. I'm measuring right on track! We're going back on September 10 for our final (I think) ultrasound! Then I start going every 2 weeks. I can't believe that it's already that time. This pregnancy sure has gone fast!

  • Tuesday we stayed home ALL DAY long. I've been hesitant to get outside and play too much in the morning with all of the cases of West Nile in our city... I believe at last count there were 24 cases and 3 deaths. So as much as I'm missing our morning walks, it's just not worth it to me. I'd rather be safe than sorry!

  • Wednesday we worked on some learning skills. Elizabeth knows where her hair, head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, belly button, and toes are! She's so cute when she does it. I tried to get a picture of her doing them all, but she's never very cooperative. ;)

  • We also read a ton of books this week. One of her favorite things to do with books is point at all the little details and have me name them. Well, on Wednesday, I asked her where certain things were and she pointed to them multiple times! We might not be talking a ton, but we sure are smart!  :)

  • Today, as I'm typing this, she's sitting in our blue chair in the office and looking at flash cards. My parents got her a couple of the Leap Frog movies, with The Letter Factory being one of them. We watched that once this week and she loved it. Now, she's playing with the letter cards that came with the movies. It's never too early to get started learning your letters!
Crazy hair!!!

Chili Night

As Elizabeth is getting older, I find myself missing the days where she would let me feed her myself... It was definitely a lot less messy! However, she has a very independent streak and (from a very early age, I might add) doesn't want me to feed her anything. Most of the time I just put her food on her tray, but lately I've been putting a spoon or fork with it so she can learn how to use silverware. Monday evening when we had chili, she would put a bean on her spoon and then try to get it in her mouth. Cutest thing ever! Last night, however, she did a very good job getting food into her mouth! It was an even messier than normal dinner, but at least Daddy does bath time! ;)

Etch-a-Sketch

When we went on vacation back in June, my mom got Elizabeth an etch-a-sketch. Elizabeth didn't really know what to do with it at the time, but since then, she's developed a deep love for drawing on it, having me erase it, and then drawing some more! It's so fun to watch her grow and learn new things every day!!
