B'day party

Elizabeth is at that age now.....all of her friends are turning 1!   We went to her first B'day party for her friend Patrick.  She had a photoshoot while we were there.  It helps to have a friend who does awesome photography (thanks Catharine).  

Elizabeth on the beach

This one is probably for grandparents only!  Why? Because it is 5 plus minutes of Elizabeth on the beach sitting, babbling and looking very cute.  Don't say I didn't warn you.  Oh the bathing suit she is wearing is actually mine.

Yummy!

Elizabeth loved the sand so we thought what the heck..... lets try it!  We went outside and collected snow (just not the yellow stuff) and she really liked it.  I am sure it is better than most meals I make :)

Elizabeth and the pacifier

Elizabeth ONLY wants what you have, as demonstrated in one of her favorite games...the pacifier swap!

We thought should we bring the baby?  To the beach?  She is so little and might hate it.....oh no she loved it!!  We went to Hollywood Beach Florida with our good friends Julie (Waving Coach) and Barb (Brahbrah) and had a blast! Elizabeth could not have been more fun or had more fun!  The weather was not always on our side but that just gave us more time to eat :)

enjoy!

Elizabeth playing hide-n-seek

A little dinner theatre.... She loves being scared so this game always gets a laugh! Elizabeth is starting to  figure out papa's big trick!  She will play this game all day, be it in her chair, between rooms or behind furniture :)   It has become a lot more funny since she went ahead and grew some teeth.

Elizabeth on candid camera

This is pretty much a typical part of our morning. I keep Elizabeth busy with food and then untangle the barking, annoying mutt from under the porch.  I often wondered what she did or babbled while I was gone.  As most know she is a mama's girl and does not like to be away from me for any amount of time. I set the video camera up and watched from a small outside kitchen window, where she could not see me.  This is what happens......
