11/500

Yup, Eliza is 11 months old today. She left crawling behind this past month, walking all over the place and just about running to catch up with her big sister. I love the sound of her little feet swishing on the hardwood floors. Eliza is so sociable, loving to be with people and at parties. She's got a sense of humor, usually cracking up to Addie's antics. The two of them spent this evening chasing each other around the house, both of them squealing with delight. Is she saying any words? I'm not really sure but she has murmured Mama, Dada, Ada, Bah (ball and bottle) but not consistently so I don't want to call a first word yet. Soon I think. Her eyes are blue, her hair straight unlike her sister's who has a slight curl and is getting more blonde as Addie's darkens and mine turns more gray. She's a total delight and growing up so fast.

And as it so happens, this is my 500th post! That's a lot of baby this, baby that over the last four years. Hugs to all of you reading this and to my beautiful family - thank you!

Thanks for indulging me this pleasure and, of course, Happy Birthday Eliza Wren!
