Five Generations

A couple of weekends ago we traveled to Indiana to introduce Liz to her Great-Great Grandmother.  Liz and Great Great Grandma are 100 years and 3 days apart in age.  Pretty cool to see them together.

Easter

Lizzie's first Easter was a bust.  We had planned on attending church, having a nice lunch and going to the park to take pictures.  However, because I was sick and Liz didn't feel good, we stayed home and napped on the couch all day.  Not that napping on the couch together is a bad thing ;)  We change Liz into her Easter dress and went outside to take a few pictures.  Liz feels better but I am still sick.  Guess I will be heading to the doctor :(

What's in the basket?

She doesn't look happy with me.  I think I was trying to take the egg away.

I will lick your face

6 Month Photos

Today we took Liz for her 6 month photos.  She did great.  I was a little nervous about the appointment.  Was she going to be serious Liz or smiling, giggling Liz?  We lucked out and she was all smiles.  Just adorable.

YUM!

Liz has started to play with her feet regularly.  She really enjoys sucking on her toes - it's similar to a thumb, right? 



Those feet don't have a chance to run away




I love my big toe

We decided to introduce rice cereal today.  She did well and ate about half of the bowl.  No big messes but not sure if she likes it.  It is hard to believe our little girl will be 6 months old next week. 

First bite

Liz is not sure about rice cereal

I like the spoon

Got more on my chin than in my mouth

I've got cereal on my face. Whatcha gonna do about it?

And one last photo.  Mom and Liz hamming it up for the camera. (for whatever reason I can't get the picture to load correctly)

Hello Grandma and Grandpa

Snow

We got our first 'big' snow of the season this weekend - 2 inches.  It started snowing Friday and throughout the day on Saturday.  The majority of it melted Sunday.  My Mom bought Lizzie a sled, so I bundled her up and we went out to play in the snow before it was gone. 

I am having so much fun!

Weee Weeee Wee Weee Weeeeeee

Holding on tight

hi mom

Elizabeth's Baptism

Grandma and Grandpa Davenport, Isaiah, and Jim came up this weekend for Liz's baptism.  Saturday, the boys went to see a movie and the girls went shopping.  We met up for dinner at Maggiano's to celebrate my parents 35th wedding anniversary.  Sunday, Liz was baptised.  This is a very special time for us and we are thankful we our family was able to attend.  Cruising grandparents were in our thoughts and prayers.  After her baptism, we enjoyed a cake I made and began make Super Bowl snacks.
