  • Future Olympian?

    Elizabeth isn’t much of a TV watcher. She’s in love with Elmo (Melmo) and has a bunch of Elmo toys, but has never seen the show. I keep meaning to Tivo an episode of Sesame Street, but it never seems to happen. I figure it’s a slippery slope. Once she realizes that they make […]

  • Runny Noses

    I think this is only the second time Elizabeth has gotten sick. She’s
    got a runny nose and cough accompanied by lots of drool. I can’t
    figure out if the drool is because she is teething again or if it’s a
    side-effect from keeping her mouth open to breathe. For the last 3
    days her face has been covered […]

  • Kissing Butt

    We kiss boo-boos around here. Elizabeth falls down on her hands,
    cries boo-boo, I kiss her hands, it’s all better. It’s great that one
    kiss can stop the tears in a millisecond. I just had to explain to
    her that not all boo-boos are kissable. For example, her diaper rash,
    although it is a boo-boo, does NOT get kissed. […]

  • Clip-Clop

    Elizabeth was in the closet the other day playing with our shoes. It
    didn’t take her long to find a nice pair of high heels. She put them
    on in the closet and walked a few steps in them and then onto the
    tile floor of our bathroom. The look on her face when the loud clip-
    clop pierced […]

  • 18 Months

    Yesterday was Elizabeth’s 18 month check-up. She is 35 inches tall
    and 23.8 pounds. That makes her a full 3 inches taller than an
    average 18-month-old according to the charts. Crazy! She’s still
    slightly below average in weight though, so you can imagine how tall
    and skinny she is.
    Last weekend at a baby shower for Frank’s cousin, Elizabeth was
    fascinated […]

  • Shopping with a Toddler

    Shopping with a toddler is like shopping with a traveling circus -
    you never know what to expect and you always attract a crowd. Last
    weekend Elizabeth and I headed to Columbia, SC for a much-needed
    clothes shopping expedition. It seems that my “mom” clothes (the ones
    I buy on sale at Target so I don’t get upset when […]
