Grandparent Visit!!

David's parents came to visit for two weeks in June. We had a wonderful time, and it was so nice to for Elizabeth to spend so much time with her nanny and granddad.  I also enjoyed two weeks of  vacation from changing diapers, giving baths, and feeding!  While we had fun in the city, we also worked hard at home.  Thankfully they were here to help us with our move - although I am not sure if they saw it that way;)  (granted it was only 2 floors away, it was still a MAJOR pain!!).  We can't thank them enough for all their help!!

During the visit we went to the 9/11 museum, which was very well done, but emotionally exhausting.   David and I took advantage of having the grandparents here and went out to dinner a few nights.  As usual, we did lots of walking around NYC and my in-laws saw a show on Broadway. We all went to the Biergarten nearby on the day before they left, and also enjoyed drinks at Surf City during the visit.  The weather was nice, not too hot or humid, and we didn't have much rain.  We had two weeks of great food and LOTS of wine.  Elizabeth LOVED the attention and we were all sad to see them go home. 

Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures during the visit, but here are a few.

10 (FAST!!) Months!!

Wow, it's been a fast 10 months, I can't believe how quickly it's gone!  Yes, I realize I am a few weeks late!

Here are some new things about Elizabeth:

- She has mastered "momma" and "dada"
- Elizabeth LOVES to walk along the furniture, and has even gotten brave enough to let go a few times and stand still on her own!
-The girl does NOT stop, she is moving all.the.time.
- Bath time is still a favorite
- Pinching and Biting are two things Elizabeth has mastered....she obviously doesn't understand her strength just yet.  Luckily she has only done these things to David and me...
-8 teeth...EIGHT! 
- Food - Elizabeth is getting better with her food, but prefers sweet things.  She still LOVES bread.  Breakfast is usually yogurt and fruit, and lunch and dinner are a vegetable, fruit and crackers.   We have been giving her more "table" food because she prefers to feed herself.
- Sleeping is still pretty good, a decent nap in the afternoon and morning.  As much as we try to keep Elizabeth up past 6:30pm, she just can't seem to do it.  The girl likes her sleep and would rather be in bed early and an earlier riser. (lucky us;))
- We are still doing music class, and although much of the time is spent chasing Elizabeth and bringing her back to her seat, she still very much enjoys it!
- Oh, and we are still waiting on more hair....

Every day we see more of Elizabeth's personality shining through, and as sad as I am that time is flying by, it is fun to see her grow and change so much!
