9 months old

On February 12, 2009, Elizabeth was 9 months old. Where did the time go? I have no idea, but, we've made LOTS of memories in the past 9 months, and I only anitpate w/ excitement the MANY more memories we will enjoy throughout our wonderful life with our wonderful daughter!

With less than 3 months to spare, I have already begun planning for Elizabeth's 1st birthday party. We plan to have it on Mother's Day, so we can kill two birds with one stone. I look forward to celebrating Elizabeth's birth, with the company of our mother's, as well as, hopefully, our grandmothers, and the other mothers (sisters) in our family! We are trying to figure out what to do for a gift for Miss E. I am pretty sure, a big chunck of her gift will be given as a CD through the bank. Something that she can use YEARS from now. She really doesnt need any toys. Or clothes. I am attempting to refurbish a rocking chair that I bought last summer at a garage sale. Maybe I can get that finished w/in the next few months. We've also pondered on the thought of a book case as well, beings, when she was born, she recieved SO MANY nice books as gifts, that are sitting on the sheft in her closet in the meantime. It would be nice to give them a home! And it will be a piece of furniture that she can grow with, and take with her when/if she ever decides to move out! I also started the tradition of getting Elizabeth a willow tree angel for special occasions. (I started this at Christmas time). So, I will probably get her one of those as well...maybe she could showcase her collection of these on her book case as well...Hmmm...Good idea! So, if anyone has any thoughts of what we could do for our SOON TO BE one year old's birthday, email me! I am eager for ideas!
