11 months

Lizzie is earning the title of busy Lizzie. The past month has been a big one for Liz. She was turned her army crawl into a regular crawl and is picking up speed each day. She is curious about the world around her and is enjoying pulling things off the shelves, getting into her sisters' toys and opening the cabinets. She has figured out how to crawl into the dishwasher and tries to squeeze her way into any open door or cabinet. 

She is still a great eater and enjoys most anything we give her. She has started throwing some of her food on the floor and I am hoping this doesn't get worse. We are staying at my mom's house right now, so her dog is helping with the clean up. Lizzie is still a good sleeper and I am shocked that she will still take long naps in her carseat. This is a been such a blessing for me because we are often on the go. 

Lizzie is a total joy right now and keeps all of us smiling on a daily basis. She has definitely found her voice and makes sure her requests are granted. Even thought she is not able to talk, she definitely has a lot to say. She is a tease, loves to laugh and make silly faces, and will often parrot the faces and actions of those around her. 

Lizzie, we can't believe you are almost one! We are so excited to celebrate your birthday next month and to reflect on the great blessing you are in our family. We love you sweet girl!
