Each day, I feel a little more excited to see what Eliza is going to do. Since she has started crawling, the milestones aren't as huge of a development. The ways that she is growing is much more subtle. For example, she is getting very skilled at touching items with her pointer finger. She is also showing much more interested in the dogs. Like above, the fur kids were complaining about being locked in the kitchen and Eliza crawled over to the gate and tapped Angel's nose. (We keep them in the kitchen when it is muddy outside so that Eliza doesn't crawl through dirl)
We are also looking forward to Eliza's birthday party right around the corner. I can't believe that in 6 weeks, she will have been with the family for a whole year! The major challenge right now is to experiment with recipes so that she can actually eat (and enjoy) her birthday cake. I found these mixes in the health section at Hy-Vee, so I am hoping they are successful. If not, I will have to start from scratch to make a dairy, soy and egg free mix :)
Warmth is also a hope for the future! Today it was in the 60s, so I asked if we could take Eliza to the park for the first time. I have been dying to see if she likes the baby swing. You be the judge!
I think the thing that Eliza looks forward to the most right now is feeding herself. She gets frustrated sometimes and tries to take the spoon from me. So, tonight, I stripped her down and let her have a go at it. It wasn't completely unsuccessful. She managed to get some in her mouth, but she had a great time. She was in the zone and would look and smile like, "Look at me, Mom!" Perfect picture :)
