Lizzie's check up

Tuesday Lizzie had her 6 month check up; even though she is almost 7 months now. She was a little sick and had fluid in her ear so Dr. Gunther is going to have me bring her in next week to give her shots. She is 17lbs (which is 55%), 37" tall (90%), and her head is 17 3/4" circumference (which is 95%). So she is long and skinny with a big head. "Thanks daddy!" Dr. Gunther thinks she is very smart because she focuses so well and gives so much attention to daddy, which most kids think daddy is chopped liver at this age. She is already daddy's little girl. She gets this amazingly cute grin on her face and her hand move all over the place almost like she is clapping when she sees mommy or daddy smiling at her. The one word to describe it is cheesed.

Lizzie has teeth

All of a sudden a couple of weeks ago Lizzie got her first tooth. Then 1 week later she got 2 more that broke through, and there is one more about to emerge. So now she has a toothy smile.

Denver Zoo

Derek had to go to Witchita, Kansas for work last week and while he was gone if the boys were good we would be able to go to the zoo on Saturday. There were pretty good so we made good with our promise and went to the zoo. We had a lot of fun and Sunday we found out that Grandpa was at the zoo too with some of his students. He was on the other side so we never saw him. We got a membership so expect a lot of pictures from the zoo.

Lizzie and Julia

Lizzie and Julia are cousins. They are 4 months apart and they are so cute together. I just thought I would share how cute they are.

Lizzie is 6 months old!

I can't believe how time is flying. Lizzie is already 6 months. About 3 weeks ago she had croop and we had to take her to the doctor. They gave her a steroid and the cough got better but she is still coughing. She is such a little trooper. She also is having problems again with her tummy. She is eating rice cereal and applesauce but that is it other than the formula; so I am not sure what she might be allergic to. She was crying throughout Sunday school and Relief Society at church on Sunday. I was telling everyone that I think she is going to be a singer because she can cry so loud. Yet, she is still so cute and still sleeps well. Her eyes have really gotten more blue and her hair lighter blond. This picture, although blurry, shows her blue eyes. She actually looks alot like her cousin Elsie on Derek's side of the family.
