Elizabeth shows her Signing skills

Here is Elizabeth doing a few cute things--which isn't hard for her. Opps...am I bragging?

Elizabeth Goes to The Supermarket-in Style

I didn't realize that she would look like the Pink Princess when I put Elizabeth in the shopping cart the other day. But that is exactly what she looked like. She has one of those shopping cart covers that protects her from nasty germs when she decides to chew on the cart. And it just so happened on this day she was all decked out in pink from head to toe (okay so she has A LOT of pink clothes). She definitely takes after her Grandma Fran in the clothes department--she always looks fabulous!!!

She looked so cute I just had to grab the camera and take a few photos.

One might say she is also auditioning for the Miss America pagent. When she goes anywhere she waves and says hello to just about every person who walks by. It is really adorable--and she is quite a charmer.

You may have to click on the photos get a good look. The photos have not been photoshopped as you can see. It is amazing I have the time to get them on the blog.

Marty says that I am always complaining that I have no time to do anything for myself since Elizabeth demands 100% of my time from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (true)--and then when she goes to sleep I spend the rest of my time posting pictures of her or ordering toys or clothes for her! Funny, eh?

A few more photos

Here are a few photos from Aunt Erica and Uncle Mark and Jonathan's visit! Elizabeth really loved being with them.

Here is Erica and Elizabeth at Balboa Peninsula beach!



Elizabeth and Jonathan Once Again


Elizabeth had a lot of fun jumping around on Mark!






We got a chance to play in the sand. Elizabeth loves the beach.



Elizabeth and Mama!


Elizabeth really had zero fear of the water. I think she would have run right into the ocean if I hadn't been there to stop her. Oy Vey!

Jonathan meets Elizabeth

Last week we were lucky enough to have my dear friend Erica (whom I have known for "ahem" 37 years--yeah, since we were 2!) and her husband Mark and son Jonathan come for a visit to California --all the way from Philly.

There was only one bad aspect to the visit--it made me really sad about the fact that we live so far away from one another. But I will continue my campaign to get Erica and her entire family--(yeah that means you too Barbara) to move to California. We will see how persuasive I am.

We didn't get nearly enough photos and I will post more later but wanted to get this cute shot of Jonathan with Elizabeth. As you can see they really got a kick out of one another!

Van Gogh She Ain't

So, this afternoon I figured I would see if Elizabeth has a touch of artistic genius in her. Well, let's just say that the Met does not need to set aside a separate room for her artwork just yet. As for painting it seems Elizabeth is way more interested in eating the paints than she is in putting color to canvas. Now, the box with the "Kadoodle" paints assures me that they are non-toxic and as of this writing Elizabeth is doing fine so I guess we shouldn't worry!

A few more photos

Just a few more photos from Sunday-

Here is Elizabeth doing a little dancing for us.


Here is Elizabeth sitting on G'ma's lap playing patty cake.


He we are at lunch with Elizabeth. As predicted she is becoming a little more difficult to take to restaurants since she is no longer entirely content sitting in her little chair--not when there is a whole world to explore and a restaurant full of people to meet. Lately the only relaxed meals I have are those in my dreams.


Here she is with Marty's sandals. She is so cute when she thinks she is going "bye bye" she walks around saying "bye bye" and brings us our shoes.

Pretty Girl

We actually got a few nice photos of Elizabeth in her dress...more later.
