Pigtails

Really this is just a blog post to show off the adorable new hairstyle that Libby-loo is rocking. It's too cute for me not to share. ;)

It's been a long time, but we're still here

So I know that I've really been terrible about blogging and such but I have some awesome excuses:

-I have the oldest most ANGRY laptop in all the world and it hates to even turn on
-I am now an almost full-time student for the second time, working on yet another degree and pile of debt
-It's always the last thing on my list of things to do and even though it's something I want to do, those things always fall into the last or never category
-Zombie apocalypse is coming and I had to prepare?
-I have this super cute fella who I rarely spend enough quality time with (lately it's mostly time spent with me freaking out over the latest assignment or addition to my to-do list that I have zero time for) 

See isn't he adorable?


But anyways.... at the very least I figured I should really try and be better about this because Elizabeth is just so adorable and growing so quick and I feel as though I am really not doing her cute face justice by not sharing it with you. So here goes.

Lots has happened with Elizabeth in the past few months. She's walking and talking and just as fun as can be lately. I love playing with her and literally watching as her mind grows and figures out new things. It's also fun to have conversations with her now because she'll try talking to me and I only catch like one word out of 10 that she's trying to say. It'll go something like, "ga, blah, nana, ba, ta, BALL, la, buh ba, ta, na" and although I know in her mind that sentence makes perfect sense; I wish in my ears it did too. But it's still fun to talk to her and see her try and communicate what's in her thoughts. 

She also loves to play in her bed when she wakes up!

  Let's see..... we've gone on lots of adventures lately. We've been to the zoo which was quite fun despite the spurts of rain that happened while we were there. I've never seen Elizabeth so happy and active as at the zoo. She wanted to run all over and explore and see all the animals. She also made the noises for elephants, sheep, pig, cow (her favorite), and birds. It really was a lot of fun and I wish that I had more opportunities to do things like this with her. 

Watching the polar bears

Having so much fun running around the zoo!

The park is also our new fun place to be and as long as there isn't any rain we are there! If it's cold its not a problem cause we just bundle up and have fun! Libby is such a daredevil and from day one at the park would climb up the structure herself, get situated at the top of the closest slide and SWOOSH downs she goes, all by herself, no fear. She'd do this for hours if I'd let her too. But the swings have really been the area of hesitation. She'll want to get in them and swing for about 3 seconds and then she wants back out again. Although there is a big swing at our normal park that she's sort of ok with and I think she likes it better because it's like a big chair. (see below) 

This is her preparing to go down

Checking out the beautiful leaves
SO pretty girl
And DOWN she goes!

The BIG swing!
 The other big thing that has happened recently is Halloween and of course Elizabeth was a cow because that's the animal noise she can consistently do and because it was too freaking adorable. So I'll end today with the little cow girl and also a pic of her in my favorite outfit (that she owns of course!). 

Ha Ha...Moo!

Just LOVE that skirt! She also has a black top with a pink skull on it that I got her but couldn't find that picture~
