Broccoli and Bed

Lizzie loves to eat broccoli for dinner. I have been telling my mom that she eats broccoli, but had to take pictures to prove it.
Sorry for the underlining...this computer is having technical difficulties it seems.
When Lizzie is done with her dinner she gets a cookie or some Goldfish. This was her telling her daddy that she wanted a cookie. She says 'nana' for banana cookie.
I just thought that I would throw this picture in there. Milk does a body good!
Cody converted Lizzie's bed to a toddler bed on sunday. We know that it is early, but we have to get ready to use this crib for the new baby. I thought a few months in the toddler bed and then it is big bed we go. She loves being able to get in and out of her bed. It has only been 3 nights and she did not get out of it at all last night.
We are very proud of her!
Watch the blog for updates...I have lots of them on the way...

Freebird Friday

Last Friday Cody and I took Lizzie to Freebirds for the first time. She had to have her first real Aggie experience and we even had her in overalls. She loved sitting in a busy restaurant and people watching with her mom and dad. Yes, she even ate the burrito! She loved it of course! She even snuck one of our tortilla chips and took a bite. She knew that she wasn't allowed to have it because she grabbed it, took a quick bite and put it back on her daddy's plate.

We had been shopping before we went to eat and Lizzie was full and ready for bed. She fell asleep on our way home.

Cody and I are doing great. We have an ultrasound on Dec 12 th to see if Lizzie will have a little sister or a little brother. It seems that everyone wants to know and Cody and I don't care either way....well, I think Cody cares. He thinks he needs another boy in the house since he is out numbered. We will see! :)

Dancing Baby

There are moments in our week where Lizzie tries to go turn the radio on. She is a serious dancer. She wants to polka with her daddy and gets mad if I am in the way. When he picks her up to dance she pays attention to what he is doing. She does not let anything interrupt her dancing with her daddy.

Yes, she does stick her tongue out as she dances around the room. All of her focus is on the beat (I know she is only a baby, but this baby knows what beat is).

When she is done, it is back to being silly as normal. There have been times when Cody has put her down and she has cried and even thrown a fit. She really loves to dance...not with me...only with her daddy.Finally all the fun and excitement catches up to this little one and she is tired and worn out...for a little while any way. :) I hope that everyone is enjoying the pics. We have heard great things about our blog and hope that you like it as much as we do.

Halloween with our little ladybug

Lizzie went trick or treating for the first time this year. She was a trooper. At the first house she cried when we took her out of her wagon. She loves her wagon and she just thought that we were going for a walk in a silly outfit. As you can tell by the pictures, she was fine when she realized that she had candy in her basket. We only made it to 5 houses, but that was perfect. We just went to some of the friends houses in the neighborhood and by the time we were done it was already time for dinner and a bath. It really flew by fast.

She loves these silly squeeky shoes. She will stomp in them just so she can hear them squeak. The great thing is that I can change the bows to make them match anything so we had in red to match her costume.

When we got home she had to pull out each piece of candy one by one and put them on the floor. You would have thought that she knew what candy was and that we were actually going to let her eat it. When I finally got the candy put up, she just kept looking in her bag for it. It is now 3 days later and she still looks in the bag for it. It is very cute.

As for Cody and I, we did not dress up for Halloween and we had lights out by 9pm. We are tired parents after nights like that. We apologize to all those that invited us to Halloween parties that we did not attend. We thought that we would just try to hang around the house and have fun with our little ladybug and we don't regret that idea at all. We enjoy her so much.

I am now exactly 12 weeks pregnant and it has been over a week since I have had any morning sickness. I hope that I am not jinxing myself, but we will see.

Cody is still the hero of our house and is doing so much to help Lizzie and I that sometimes I feel like he is completely and hole heartedly doing it all. He is the best husband and father in the world and I love every minute with him.

Pumpkin Patch

The weekend before Halloween I took Lizzie to the pumpkin patch. Cody wasn't able to go with us so Granny, my Aunt and little cousin Brandon went with us. Lizzie was not sure what to think about it all. She was very tired, and she did not want me to leave her side. To get this picture I literally had to sit her down and take off running. I still thought that I would share the pics since I told everyone that I would. Once she settled in she started doing a little better.

Lizzie liked the hay better than anything. I think that it was the wagon that made her feel comfortable. We got two pumpkins to take home with us.

In the last week Lizzie has started doing some funny and cute things. She actually smacks when she gives a kiss and she is saying tons of words. She loves to sing and dance. If the radio is on, she is happy.

I will send out Halloween pics very soon. :)
