You are such a big girl...or you think you are anyway. You want to be with the big kids...doing what the big kids are doing...playing with the big kids...eating what the big kids are...just one of them. na doh...you get so mad if you can't. Tonight Burke went outside to play and you literally jumped up as fast as you could and practially started running to go follow him outside to play in the sandbox. When you got to the door jam you knelt down crawled across it and then hopped back up. your dad and I both started laughing at that. What makes it funny is that you have followed the kdis out so many times in such a hurry (I mean you litereally are almost running) that you always trip on the door jam. It made me laugh to see that you had finally learned from all of the falls.

I'm also convinced that you think you are a mermaid. You lvoe water and the bath. You were basically esleep in your bed tonight and then you heard the bath water go on for Burke (he too is like a fish). You started yelling in your crib, when i ignored you, you started crying. SO I went in to get you. I set you down in your bedroom and then I ran to tell Millie that she needed to get undressed and take a bath tonight ( she takes bribeing to get in the bath)...well before I knew it Burke yelled out..."Mom, Lizzy's in the tub." I came running...scared to death...but there you were fully clothed and happy as a clam to have somehow dove in safely...I grabbed the camera..snapped a few happy pictures and then began taking your clothes off. Only at that point you thought I was making you get out and you started screaming your head off. That made me laugh even harder. I kept saying "you can get in, you can get in"...but you just didn't understand or care.

I have been sooo bad at writing in your journal...but I will get better...

You just hit your 11 month mark and your 1 year mark will be here before I know it! You so want to be a big person. You want to always be playing with the kids, eating real food, and be in the middle of whatever is going on.

You started walking on July 24th adn you are practically running now! You are just this little petite baby walking upright and tryig to be a big person. We love you!
