Counting down, counting up

About 7 months pregnant here

I'm big and getting bigger, and I get a little rush when I tell someone I'm due in less than a month. Meanwhile, darling Elizabeth is turning into a little girl so fast I can hardly stand it. She reminds me of this in new ways every day. While driving around she was babbling and singing Happy Birthday to herself, then I overheard her count to 20 clear as a bell! What?! Who is this kid?

Other things she said today that I want to remember:

no preblem
mommy do it
come play Legos
down please
broccoli then pasta
I'm cold
teeth hurt
more olives please
oh man!
nice!


Last week the weather was abnormally cold, and I loved it. We wore long pants and sweatshirts outside and socks to bed, and I can't tell you how nice it was for me to have a taste of fall weather in a climate where that season doesn't exist. I also made the most of dressing Elizabeth in tights every chance I got, (we have quite the collection of Lily's hand-me-downs thanks to Kerry), little girls in tights are just cute.


Me (and baby boy), Elizabeth 18 months, Richard

Elizabeth got her first hair cut... I just couldn't take the below the ear mullet any more! So, I went for it. It was just a trim in the back really. It doesn't exactly look great, but I think it's better. :)

Cute family picture, and so exciting that your boy is almost here. I can't believe how big Elizabeth is already. Look at those curls on the floor. Her haircut looks great.
