It's Been Awhile...

So, it's been awhile since I've updated! A LONG while! So much has been going on; there just doesn't ever seem like there's time.  But, I am making it a goal to keep up with things better!

I was going to write about Christmas but thought I should wait until I can upload the pics to go with it.  So, instead, here's a brief update on Lizzy:

She is almost 11 months old (next Sunday).  She is close to walking but not there quite yet- loves to cruise around the coffee table.  She has said "Dada" twice- we are working on getting her to keep saying it!  I know when she's ready she will have plenty to say- just like her Mommy! 

She loves books.  During every bottle we look at books together- it is funny though because she very much has an opinion on which books we look at first, next, and so forth- she refuses to eat until I hold up the "right" book that she's thinking of- it can be tricky to read her mind but I love that she enjoys books so much! 

Today was an especially fun day- Lizzy and I drove up to Austin to meet my best friend from college (Megan) and her mom and daughter.  It was a gorgeous day- Lizzy slept during both car rides the whole way up and back- and we had a great lunch catching up.  Megan lives in N Carolina so our visits are far too infrequent.  It was so great to get to see her; I wish it could be more often!

That's all for now.  Off to bed before school starts again tomorrow! Here's a recent picture of Lizzy.  Promise to blog soon about Christmas!
