Lizzie loves all kinds of fruit! On this particular day she was sitting at the kitchen counter on a bar stool eating a banana.

My First Birthday

I turned one on June 6, 2008!!! It is really amazing how much has happened in this past year. I started as a 6 lb 7 oz baby and in one year I gained 13 lbs and 4 ounces. I learned how to sit up, to crawl and even how to walk. I grew a lot more hair and my babbling turned in to jabbering. I can point to things and will go to the ball when Mommy and Daddy ask me to. Once I learned how to move I realized it was so much fun that I didn't want to stop. I love my doggy and spend lots of time harassing her. I don't think she is very fond of me right now except that I leave lots of food on the floor for her to eat.
My Mommy and Daddy had a big birthday party for me. Lots of people came to help me celebrate. It was a really nice day so we had all the rooms open in the sun room and people could go outside on the deck. My Grandma and Grandpa Sly came over from England to help me celebrate. My Uncles Caleb and Sam were there as well as my Aunties Sarah and Erin. Dad's step-brother Dennis came with his wife Carol and their daughter Vivian. My mom's cousin Landis came up from Attleboro with her three kids, Nathan, Hana and Lydia. Some of my Mommy and Daddy's friends were there too. Mommy made me a cake that looked like a giraffe, it was yummy.
I got lots of fun presents too. Mommy and Daddy gave me a Giraffe hobby horse, giraffe books, a giraffe height chart and a giraffe stuffed animal (notice a theme?). My Auntie Katherine sent over a kiddie pool and some clothes from England and my English Grandparents gave me lots of fun learning toys including a doll that will help me learn how to get dressed. My uncles and aunts gave me my own rocking chair with my name on it which came in my favorite present, a box! I love to play in the box. Daddy plays peek-a-boo with me when I'm in the box and I get very excited. I also get very angry at my birthday balloons when they keep coming back after I hit them.
I had so much fun at my party that I didn't sleep very well that night. I woke up around 10 and kept my parents up for four hours. They decided I shouldn't have that much sugar again. All in all my birthday was a lot of fun and I am quickly leaving the baby stage and entering the world of toddlerhood.

Checking Out The Stars

It stars Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Betty White and Mary Steenburgen. We went to T-Wharf because they were filming over at Motif #1 and we got a good view along with everyone else. There were a bunch of people there and we saw them film a short scene a couple times. Betty White was sitting in the boat, Mary Steenburgen was in the boat too. Ryan Reynolds threw Sandra Bullocks suitcase down on the the dock, went down the ladder and then watched as Sandra Bullock went down the ladder in a skirt, high heels and a big orange bag (completely inappropriate!). It was fun to watch the scene once but I got a bit bored after the second time so we kept walking. We walked down Bearskin Neck to see all the new signs on the stores. It was a really nice day!

My First Easter

Today was my first Easter. I am 9 1/2 months old and I can crawl and cruise quite proficiently. Mommy and Daddy wouldn't be surprise if I started walking soon considering how much I improve my mobility from week to week. Today was a very busy day. I woke up at 7 because I had been up from 4:30 am to 5:30 am. I'm not sure why I woke up in the middle of the night, perhaps it was a bad dream. Mommy checked my diaper but I hadn't pooped so in the end she gave me a bottle and rocked me to sleep. That was normal though, normally these days I sleep all the way through the night. At 7 Daddy came and got me so I could hang out in the big bed for a little while. I had cheerios, pear and yogurt for breakfast.
After breakfast I got to play while Daddy talked to Grandma and Grandpa Sly over the computer. Daddy tells me that they could see me too. Daddy put me down for a nap but while he was doing that, he broke my crib! Somehow he managed to break the plastic that holds the side that drops so it wouldn't stay on. He had to tape it so I could take my nap. I took a nap around 9 am and slept until 10:30. Mommy was making food for Easter while I was sleeping. When I got up Daddy played with me in my room while he tried to fix my crib. When Mommy was ready we took a walk to Nana and Grandpa Rulli's house. Mommy needed to help Grandpa with his computer so I got to play with Nana for awhile.
When we got home I had a small lunch then Mommy let me crawl around in the kitchen while she continued to cook for the Easter meal and do a little cleaning. I went down for my afternoon nap around 2 but Mommy and Daddy were dumb and left the phone in my room. When someone called it woke me up and I wouldn't go back to sleep. Finally, Daddy brought me downstairs around 3. I was a bit surprised though because it seems while I was sleeping lots of people suddenly appeared in my house. My Nana and Grandpa Rulli were there along with my Great-Aunt Susan, my Mommy's cousin Landis and my second cousins, Nathan, Hana and Lydia. I thought the big kids were very cool.
We had our Easter meal around 4:00. I got to sit at the big table in my high chair and eat rosemary mashed potatoes, ham and green beans. It was yummy. After dinner we went for a walk to Old Garden Beach. I sat on my Great-Aunt's lap while I watched the big kids chase Daddy and Buffy around the beach. I can't wait until I can play tag with Daddy. Mommy tells me that we are going to spend a lot of time on the beach in the summer. I plan on eating lots of sand.
When we got back to the house I had even more yummy food, some Sweet Ricotta Tart that Mommy had made from scratch. I like sugar but what kid doesn't!? Mommy has a sweet tooth too. But now it was getting late and I was getting very tired since I missed my afternoon nap. Mommy cleaned up while Daddy gave me a bath and put me to bed. I was so tired I fell asleep in his arms after my bottle which isn't something I do very often these days.
Happy Easter everyone!

Back to Work

Mommy went back to work a couple weeks ago so life around here has been busy. She stays home with me four days a week and goes in to the office one day a week. Nana Rulli takes care of me when Mommy is in the office. We have fun. I get to go to her house during the day and have lunch with Grandpa. I get a bit cranky though when it comes time for bedtime on those days and I get myself all worked up.
I'm still being swaddled for naps and at night. I'm also still waking up twice a night for eating. Usually around 12 or 1 and again at 5. Daddy has heard me at 5 the last couple mornings and fed me. It's given Mommy a much needed break. I'm also teething. I like to bite my hand a lot when I don't have access to my teething toy. I also like to chew on one of my toys on the jumperoo. I'm getting better at jumping in it too. I'll be four months old on Saturday and next week I have my doctors appointment. Then Mommy and Daddy will know how big I've gotten!

3 Months Old!

I turned three months old today! I have now graduated from newborn to infant. I'm such a big girl! I enjoy chattering away to my parents and anyone else who will listen. I especially love shouting at people. It's a lot of fun exercising my lungs. My favorite person to yell at is my daddy.
People love to ask my mommy how much sleep she is getting. Well, I go to bed around 7 pm and mommy goes to bed around 9:30 or 10. I wake up somewhere around 1:30, although last night it was 2:30, then I wake up again at 5. Sometimes I get a little agitated around 3 but mommy can sooth me back to sleep. Sometimes daddy takes me downstairs in the morning so mommy can sleep a bit more.
I spend my days going to mommy and baby groups, playing in my gym, exersaucer and jumperoo. Mommy goes back to work on the 13th but she will be home with me 4 days a week. My nana will be taking care of me the other day. Daddy is leaving us for two weeks. He'll be in Memphis, Tennessee one week and Alpharetta, Georgia the week after. We will miss him.

Uncle Caleb's Wedding
Life has been busy since I turned two months old on August 6th. I had my two month appointment with the pediatrician on August 9th, the same day as the rehearsal dinner. Nana Rulli was nervous about me getting my vaccinations so close to the wedding so they didn't happen that day. Instead Dr. Rappaport told my parents that I was "freakishly strong". She was very impressed how I resisted her turning me over and how I liked to stand and put one foot in front of the other. I'm also good at holding up my head.
I went to my Uncle Caleb's wedding on August 10th. My Grandma and Grandpa Sly went too and took care of me while my Mom and Dad were in the wedding. It was a lot of fun until the band started playing and then it was my bedtime and it was too loud. I spent the rest of the night away from the crowds sleeping in my car seat.
I got my two month vaccinations on August 13th. First they gave me a drink for Rotavirus then I had three shots. I was ok for the first but cried for the second and third. They gave me pretty pink bandaids to help make things better. I felt find after the shots and was good today too. Mommy and I went to our Mommy and Baby group as usual and I was a very good girl.
