Fun Weekend with the Big Girl

We had such a fun weekend with Elizabeth! First, Daddy sheared Desi. Elizabeth loves "petting" her kitty, Desi - grabbing fist-fulls of hair and yanking. Desi has so much hair, she doesn't mind, and usually purrs the whole time. However, then Elizabeth has cat hair all over her hands, and right now everything in her hands goes in her mouth. So you see the problem. Luckily, Desi loves being sheared. So we had that adventure.

This was half way through. I got distracted and didn't get a final picture of all the hair. She's basically half the cat she was.

Then, Daddy decided Elizabeth didn't have enough toys - so he brought her a pot and a spoon. It was pretty funny.

Saturday night, Eric and I went out for a date! Maybe the first one since little E has been born. Miss Cait came to babysit and Elizabeth enjoyed playing with her, and then slept the whole time we were gone. We saw the Hangover at a theater that serves food and drinks. It was hilarious and I had 2 martinis! A fun night!

This morning, we took Elizabeth to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. We've decided to call it "The Cafe" so she doens't get confused with her Mimi. We tried a big girl high chair, and sure enough - it worked! She was so interested in everything and everyone around her. Being in the high chair is a lot more fun than the baby carrier.

I don't know why she is making these funny faces. She was having a good time, but in all the pictures, she looks kind of like a deer in headlights.

At "The Cafe" they bring little people a plate of cheerios, crackers, and oranges when you first sit down to keep them happy. We decided to let E try a cracker. She was pretty intersted, but it was a little hard and pointy for her. I had read about these rice crackers called "Mum Mums" that basically dissolve when the babies gum them, so we went to Wal-Mart (the only place nearby that carriers them) and bought some. She loved them! What a big girl!
