Lists on Elizabeth

Things I want Elizabeth to be able to do now:

• feed herself and actually get food in her mouth
• use words like, "Mum, I really really don't like this food, please stop shoving it in my mouth" instead of just clamping her gums together
• find her soother all on her own when she wakes up in the night
• know how tall she is and stop standing up underneath coffee tables and hitting her head

Things I wish Elizabeth still did:

• sit in the same place when I left the room
• only breastfed - it was so much easier to leave the house, no packing of food, and spoons, and bib, and cloth, and, and, and, and, and...
• slept in our arms
• lay down in the bath - it was super cute to see her splash with four limbs - but now she sits up and plays with toys instead of just splashing

  Things I want Elizabeth to do forever:

• crawl/walk to the door and be super excited when Matthew comes home from work
• babble-sing to herself
• put her head on my shoulder when we hug
• play dress up with the piles of laundry or the mitts & toques by the front door

•  do "cheers" with her sippy cup (or regular cup when we get there)

Things that make me excited for Elizabeth to be a teenager one day:

• teaching her to make us coffee in the morning, and then having it on her list of daily chores
