Elizabeth is now 20 months old. Ever the curious child, she continues to explore all things new and old. While playing with her babies and Elmo carry on as classics in her life, she is also enjoying her pool outside, learning and singing new songs and nursery rhymes, and challenging herself on the area playgrounds. For now, swings are kings over slides and other equipment.
Also new is a bit of an initial shyness when around family and friends she knows, but interestingly has no reserve toward strangers. For example, we went to visit Grandma Judi at the Mayo Clinic to wish her a Happy 50th Birthday. As we walked along the busy downtown sidewalks, she sang "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Grandmaaaaa Juuudiiii." She continued to randomly sing and intermittently say "Hello" and "Bye" to the stranger who made eye contact or came within 10 ft. This continued throughout the elevator ride and the lobby, throwing in a "Be quiet Elmo!" whenever she shook her talking doll. Then, when it counted, she barely mustered a "hi."
Go figure...
Anyway, here is the best we could catch on video tonight (sorry it was shot sideways too). Happy 50th Judi!
