Life with Lizzie has been amazing and wonderful. She's growing up so fast and I can't believe how much she's changed already!
This is part of Lizzie's bedroom. Yes, it's cute. But Lizzie doesn't seem to care. She isn't fond of her crib. Actually, I think she may hate it. So, it just sits there looking nice. Alex put the bumper back up yesterday to make it look complete since I've kind of given up on getting her to sleep in it for a little while.
This isn't the most flattering photo of little Lizzie -Pop (get it? like the Izze sodas? heehee), but we had to document her thumb sucking. This is just one of the things that I said I'd never let my kid do, but it's happened and I'll let it slide for awhile as well. BUT, it helps so much in getting her to self-soothe and stay asleep. Maybe this post should be titled "things I never thought I'd allow..."
Our families came into town for Lizzie's blessing about a month ago. Here I am with my side at the San Francisco Creamery in Walnut Creek. It was on that wonderful show Man v. Food, so we HAD to try the Kitchen Sink! Nope, we couldn't finish it either. It was delicious and pretty fun to try. If we can't go to Beaches & Cream, this'll do just fine :)
Us in front of the Oakland Temple. No, she was not blessed IN the temple. Our ward meets at the stake center right next to it, so we were able to get our photos outside. It was a gorgeous day! The few photos we got of the 3 of us had Lizzie like that in each one. That dress was way too slippery and she was worn out and not in the mood for a photo shoot. Such is life...
Since Alex usually is the one taking photos, I wanted to snap a quick one of him with her. Just a nice Saturday at home. Alex has been pretty busy the past couple months so any chance he has to spend with us isn't taken for granted! I'm a bit too into the whole pink and brown combo. All these baby sales will be the death of me, or at least our checkbook, ha!
This was taken just this morning. I had to capture her actually enjoying tummy time, because before the past couple days, it was torture to her. If I get her down right after she eats, she does ok now for a few minutes. I'm so proud of my strong little girlie!

Glad to see the playgym lives on. :) You really should have posted the super-diva picture.
Time really flies with these little ones. Before you know it, she'll be a year old and you will look back and wonder where the year went.
Don't fret about the crib, you have to just give it time. She probably just feels tiny and vulnerable in such a big place. SIDS risks have us all freaked out about this stuff, but we still always used bumpers and a blanket - you just have to use your monitor and check on the babe. OR try a sleepsack, it makes them feel secure and gives you more peace of mind if you are worried about that (I worried with first child, didn't with second child).
Alex, you're the best friend I ever had
