Lizzie Bear is 8 Months!

Our favorite nickname for Elizabeth is "Lizzie Bear." We started calling her that when she wore her pink winter coat with bear ears and it has just stuck!

Lizzie is 8 months old! She turned 8 months old while we were in Door County, Wisconsin vacationing with my family. It is so fun to watch her grow and learn new things every day! I love how excited she is about being mobile. She has become very adept at cruising and bending down to pick up small objects off of the floor as she goes. She uses a variety of syllables now and seems to prefer saying "dada and daddy!"

While at my parents house, she was loooving the dog, Benny. She was scared at first, but then grew to really like him and would reach for him.

She has such a cute little personality. We always call her our little busy body because she is always wanting to be on the move or playing with toys. She's not the type of gal to happily sit still on a lap. She is very determined and will not be stopped by any obstacles when she's trying to reach some item that has caught her interest.

This is a picture of an oil painting that my mom made for Lizzie's room! Its sooo adorable...I think Lizzie will look just like the picture when she gets a little older! Is my mom talented or what!
