Eliza is 10-months-old.

Our sweet, funny and genuinely cool baby girl turned 10-months-old today. She was born last summer and here we are in summer again. In two brief months from now and we'll have ourselves a kid with a full year of life experience under her belt. Here's what Eliza can do now that she couldn't do last month.

-She crawls and cruises like a champ. She can walk from one side of the room to the other as long as she has enough furniture to steady herself.

-She can drink an entire bottle on her own without having to have me recline her to finish it.

-She just started taking baths in the big tub.

-She will eat almost any baby food we give her, and she's starting to try more grown-up food. This month she tried watermelon and iced tea for the first time.

-She's babbling up a storm and says DADADADADADADADA constantly. She's beginning to realize that it actually means Daddy.

-Her top left tooth is poking through. Good thing we just started brushing with her brand new Hello Kitty toothbrush.

-She tries really hard to wave, but sometimes it's a delayed reaction. Someone will wave at her and she'll wave 5 minutes later. She also randomly waves during the day or waves at the TV or computer screens.

Last night we went to the drive-in again and took a few pictures. As much as we love watching a movie under the stars, the movie we saw was terrible. Eliza sat and watched the whole movie like a big girl. She even sat still and ate puffs out of my hand most of the time. So big.

Here are a few pictures of Eliza's first bath in the big tub, our trip to the movies and, of course, this month's Raggedy Ann picture.

  1. Brian is really good at taking pictures! These look great! She is so cute! Janie, we really need to get together and hang out. Give me a call sometime. Also, which drive in do you go to? I would love to go sometime.

  2. I thought I already posted this this morning. My Brain is fried.

    We go to Sky Vue drive-in in Winchester and we love it! You should go with us sometime. We throw out a blanket and watch the movie in front of the car. It's a double feature for $7 and you really can't beat it. Eliza just sat and watched the entire movie the other night.

    I do need to call you soon. I'm such a bad friend since I've been a mother. Eliza is so deprived of social interaction. She needs some baby friends!

  3. Wow! Looking at the Raggedy Ann pictures you can really tell that's she's stopped looking like a baby and started looking like a little person! She is too cute!
