Little bug

Lizzy had her 4 month well child check (wcc) the other day. I know a bit late, but we had to switch our insurance, and we all know that takes a while. Anywho...the Dr. said she was, and I quote, "Perfect!" I always knew that, but it's nice to hear it from a person who is not the mom, dad or grandparent. Here's what they found out...

Lizzy weighs 13lbs now! Still only in the 20th percentile for her age. And is 26.5 inches long! That's the 90th percentile for height! She is a long, skinny bean! Cute huh?

As for her crawling, I think that was a one time thing. She hasn't done it since. Also, she doesn't feel like rolling over anymore. She has rolled from side to side for a long time now, but just doesn't have any desire to that anymore. I guess she's onto bigger and better things now. For example, she loves to suck on her big toes! It's so funny to watch. I will hear her playing in her bed in the morning and go and look, and there she is! Sucking on her toes and kicking around! What a funny little bug.

SO PROUD!!

OK, Lizzy turned 5 months old last Saturday, the 9Th, and today...she crawled!!! We are so proud of her! I can't even stand it! I was upstairs checking my email when Dave came running up to tell me she was crawling! Not believing what he told me, (since she is so little) I ran down the stairs to see for myself. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! She would lift her bum up by standing on her tippy toes then she would push herself forward! She did it several times. She moved about a foot and a half! Sadly, by the time we got the video camera out, she was tired and needed to rest, so we only caught the tail end of it where she could barely lift her bum anymore. I will post the video tomorrow if I can figure out how to get it from DVD to the computer. If I can't I will take another video with our regular camera, I think everyone needs to see her royal cuteness at work.

What we've been doing...

Since I have written last, not much has changed. Dave is still working. I am still staying with Lizzy. I have been cooking up a storm! I attribute it to all the cooking shows I have been watching. And since Ikea opened in Draper, I have been decorating (in my mind) our future house. It's going to be so cute! Now we just have to find a house that we love.

Oh yeah! I took Lizzy to the Dr. because she had a little bit of a cold, and they weighed her. She weighed 12 lbs! That's it! They said she was only in the 20Th percentile for her age. She is just a dainty little princess. Lizzy has been getting increasingly smiley and cuddly lately. We are just loving it!
