December 31, 2011

Lizzy-girl is nine months old.  

Height:  29 inches (95%)

Weight:  20lb 15oz (60%)

• She is crawling at light speed, emptying every book case, standing wherever she can possibly pull up, and eating us out of house and home.  

• I joke that in her nine months of life she has consumed more vegetables than W has in nearly three years.  Sadly, though, I don't think it is a joke.  This girl can eat!  
• She always seems to be so smiley and excited.  She is happy and has such a funny, grunt-like laugh that can be tickled out of her.  
• She never sits still -- never!  She turns into a little fish as soon as the bath water turns on, squirming and excitedly flailing about.  Once she's in the tub, it's like a water park; toys, splashing, squealing, water everywhere.  

• She turns into a dragon/pterodactyl when she has to wait for food and roars/cries like said pre-historic animal (animal?).  
• She insists she doesn't need to sleep, which makes nap time and nighttime sporadic and unpredictable.  
• When she wakes up for the day and cries to be rescued, W rushes upstairs with his guitar and piano toys, climbs in her crib, and they begin band practice.  It's kind of ridiculous.
