Dinner for Lizzie!

Lizzie is a serious eater now!  She has recently discovered that she lkes real food now.  She is tired of not eating with the rest of the family. So now if she wants food, she yells and sreams until she gets a bite! 

At 7 months old she has tried carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, green beans, mashes potatoes, as well as applesauce, peaches and more.  So far she likes everything but the bananas. 
She loves "Baby Mum Mum". crackers.  She devours them in a short amount of time and then starts screaming for more food. 

It's funny to feed her, because she is so intense.  She follows each spoonful of food into her mouth and then whines until she gets another bite. 
 It's a messy, crazy process- but I love it!

I love her smile, it makes me happy!

Lizzie is great at sitting independently now.  She rolls all over the place, but doesn't crawl yet. 

She can clap her hands, and likes it when the kids sing "If you're happy and you know it".  She gets really happy when they sing this, and she starts wildly clapping her hands. 

She is grabbing everything and will yank on hair, paper or whatever she can get her hands on.

She can pick up cheerios, or baby puffs and eat them with a pincer grasp now.  This makes her happy and it keeps her busy too. 

If you are sitting near her and not giving her the attention she wants she does a shrill high pitched scream, or she will fake cough.  It's hilarious to see her demand attention from the family.

She normally gets smothered with hugs and kisses, and always has someone wanting to hold her. 

We ate dinner outside last week because it was a nice warm night.  She was so happy that I took a lot of pics. 

I feel eteranally grateful to have Elizabeth in our family. 
I love you Lizzie!
