Winners Circle Park

We went to Winners Circle Park Saturday. The girls had a blast. Izzie LOVED the slides. Liza enjoyed the swings and... putting leaves in her mouth!

Happy 11 months, Liza!

Liza turned 11 months old today. I can't believe that in 1 month we will be celebrating her 1st birthday. Infancy is fleeting. It seems like only yesterday that I wheeled into the OR and came out the mother of 2! I reemember looking at her tiny body, touching her soft skin, and smelling her sweet, newborn smell.

Today she vaguely resembles that tiny babe. She is an active, playful, almost toddler. She eats everything on her plate (and the floor for that matter!) She pulls up on everything and is cruising wherever she can. She plays with Izzie well, most times. She is a nasty hair puller (Izzie can attest to that!) She still nurses and wakes usually once a night. Liza loves attention. She emulates syllables and sounds that me or her daddy make. She is getting better with her sippy cup. She is long and skinny. Liza wears a size 12 month clothes, but weighs just over 15 pounds. She is the apple of my eye. I can hardly remember our lives without her. I love you, Liza Ann!

Play Dough

Izzie loves play dough. Tonight she was enjoying squishing it through the little tube.

Stomach Bug

Our poor little Liza has been the victim of a stomach virus. Her friend, Emmy, had just fallen victim to this same virus only moments befire we picked Liza up from daycare yesterday. I guess like all good friends, Emmy shared. So, Liza and Mommy have been chilling at home today. Hopefully the worst of it is over. Other than being a little whiny, Liza has been pretty delightful. The picture was taken this morning while we were waiting for the bath to fill, as you can see, she is all smiles!

Ice Day 2010

We didn't see much snow over the past 2 days, but we saw a good bit of ice. School and daycare were closed, so we had the chance to enjoy. Izzie loved it. Oh what a difference a year makes. She HATED the snow that occurred 4 days before Liza was born. Today she enjoyed hopping through the ice and picking icicles! Liza ... she was oblivious!
