March 14th 2009. Food glorious food.
Breakfast is often some waffle, fruit, and milk. Elizabeth recently mastered straws, and is now working on her spoon skills.
A favourite meal is spaghetti and peas.

February 4th 2009. Doctor.
Elizabeth visited the Doctor today for her 1 year check-up. She weighs 20lb 6oz (45%), and is 29 inches tall (55%). She had some blood taken for a routine anemia and lead test. That and the immunisations were a bit traumatic, but otherwise she's in perfect health.
January 31st 2009. 1st Birthday.
She's 1!
Elizabeth had a wonderful party, she really enjoyed everyone coming to visit.
January 19th 2009. (11½ months old). Stair Climbing.
Elizabeth has used the bottom step a few times as a support for standing and has attempted once or twice to climb up. But this evening she not only managed to climb up a step, she carried on and made it all the way to top on the 1st attempt.
Here's a video of part of the 2nd ascent.
January 10th 2009. (11 months old). Boat Captain.
Captain and fog-horn operator, she went round and round the room :
January 8th 2009. (11 months old). Teeth.
They've been a long time coming, but teeth are here. Elizabeth has 2 so far.
And she plays Peek-A-Boo.
I see you!
January 4th 2009. (11 months old). Standing on a box.
In the middle of the night, I put her musical instruments out of reach. So Elizabeth played with their box and discovered that she could stand on it in order to reach further.
