The Girl on the phone

Here you get a glimpse of Elizabeth chit chatting with her imaginary friends on the phone. Don't be surprised if she dials your number one of these days.

The Purple Dress

Here is Elizabeth in her lovely purple dress. As you can see she really enjoyed wearing it.

I especially liked the dress since it cost all of about $8.99 at The Children's Place. You can find some adorable kiddie clothes at crazy low prices.

Of course Elizabeth can wear a burlap sack and look like a cutie pie.








So, Elizabeth had her first dental appointment last week and as might gather from this photo--it went swimmingly. She had zero cavities and managed to charm the entire office. She walked out with a boatload of toys and a cool Mr. Dentist tee shirt.




Here she is trying to put on socks...actually these are Marty's socks. She is especially interested in putting on socks that are at least 5 times to large for her


She is also fond of wearing shoes that are a little on the large size.



Oh, and her new favorite hobby and possible future profession is hair dressing. She has a unique technique as well. She uses her little sand shovel as a comb and insists that Marty sit in her special pink chair. Oh, she will have a load of clients, I can't tell.


Here is Jakey, Kaila's big brother, last week when we all went out for dinner. Jake was the perfect big brother and easily handled both Kaila and Elizabeth. Hmmmm....can we borrow him? And isn't he cute.

Growing

Here is a view of Elizabeth that I think shows how she is turning from a baby into a toddler...and little girl.

I am also pretty stressed about making sure she learns the difference between fountains and pools and bathtubs.

She will be learning to swim soon but even then you have to watch like hawks when kids are around water--or anything else for that matter.

While I hate to use a quote from the moose killing hockey mom (is that the best we can do for VP?) Sarah-- when you are around little kids, "you can't blink!"

Opps, did I just get a political jab in? Oh, no--not me.

Elizabeth and Kaila

Here are some photos of Elizabeth and Kaila who had a blast last weekend at the mall. They managed to spend some time dancing next to our table at the restaurant and then decided to have all sorts of fun running happily along the marble floors at the mall.

As you can see they are cute as can be when they are together--which is really sweet since we remember about 10 months ago when they were in China together. What a difference 10 months has made!

Little Miss Cleaner

Here is a video of Elizabeth showing off her cleaning skills. She really does love to dust and wipe up things. Too bad that her ability to make up a mess greatly outshines her ability to clean up!

She really is so cute when she does this. Sometimes when we are at a restaurant she will decide that she has to clean up other peoples' tables. Wonder how she would be at washing the car?
