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!

My hero!

I woke up early this morning (5:30am) with Lizzy, after I got her back to bed I went to the bathroom. Not that unusual. On my way down the hall I noticed a rather large black spot along the wall. Seeing that it was a spider, I ran very quickly past! After doing my business, I went back to bed and woke up Dave very gently and told him about the monster in the hall. Being the brave and dutiful man that he is, he immediately got out of bed and slayed the beast! (Then flushed him just to be safe.)

Dave is my hero!

Now, here are some more pictures of our sweet little bug!

More fun pictures!

Hello to all our family and friends who regularly view our blog! Not too much has happened since I last wrote. My cousin Karen got married. That was fun to go to! My mom came out for it, that was great! She got to play with Lizzy some more. I got a bit of a hair cut with bangs. Thanks Ashley! Dave got a another/new job. I painted the bathroom blue. It's really pretty! We finally got all of my kitchen stuff out of storage. That really made my day. OH YEAH!!! The Wings won the game last night! That tied up the series, 2-2. AH! I am so excited about the playoffs! GO WINGS!

Easter Day blessing

Easter was a wonderful day! My parents came out for Lizzy's baby blessing! It was so fun! So many people came, friends, family and others I am sure no one knew. Just messing. After, we all came back to the Hasting home and enjoyed delicious food and delightful chit chat. It was so nice.

The move back to Utah

WE ARE BACK! Yes, I know we have been back for a bit, but we finally have a computer that we are able to post pictures onto out blog and I wanted to wait for that. Here is how is all went down...

Steve, Carol, Carrie and Becca drove down from Utah on Weds. March 14th to attend Dave's graduation from Ft. Huachuca. The apartment was a mess! We were still packing and we needed to leave the next day! On a happier note, that was the first time Grandpa Steve, Aunt Carrie and Aunt Becca met Lizzy! It was so much fun! The next day we went to Dave's graduation in which he graduated with high honors! WOO HOO!! He is so frappin' smart! Afterward we went back to our apt. just to sign off with the office, andthen left on our big adventure back to Utah. The first day we drove to Flagstaff and the stopped for the night. Lizzy, by the way, was AMAZ-ZA-ZING! (Benchwarmers)She either slept or played with her aunts while the car was moving, When stopped she would eat, have a bum change and be happy on her way again! What a relief, can I even tell you...I was rather nervous about it at first.

The second day we drove through the Grand Canyon. I forgot how beautiful it is. We walked the paths for a while along the rim, took great pictures and enjoyed the general slendor of it all. While on our path we happend across a family of mountain goats! They were so calm, just walked around while we all took pictures. They would stand and pose as if the park had paid them to do so!

After leaving the park in the late afternoon, we drove the rest of the way to Provo. Oh yeah! We stopped at a Denny's just across the Utah state line and our waiter was drunk! HA!

All in all, a great trip!
