It's not just a fluke!

She's done it twice...which is better than not at all. Elizabeth successfully went pee-pee in the potty on two separate occasions. *yeay* one step closer to not filling the landfill with Huggies (now into size 5!). The next kid gets cloth diapers from day one.

She also started crawling - for real - this weekend. For those who know Elizabeth's lack of gross motor skills, this is huge. We really feared she would never crawl, but Grammy and Papa did the trick, and got her going across the living room carpet. Now, hopefully only a few weeks from independently walking, I doubt she'll ever use crawling as a mode of transportation, but it has helped her to learn to climb onto furniture, and go up and down steps.

She also has words for everything. Purse. Wipes. Water. Milk. Wine (oops! well, it's better than calling it mommy-juice). Bed. Bath. Potty. Towel. Hurt. I could go on and on. As long as her next word isn't "margarita". :-) I'm sure her teachers at parent's day out think we're heathen alcoholics!

If only we could get to to say "grammy" instead of the incessant "papa". Like Grammy says, she just needs to learn that Papa doesn't change diapers! (which, of course, won't work when she doesn't need diapers anymore)

We also came one step closer to having cabinets in our basement! The third coat of mud is drying as we speak, and the mock up has been drawn in chalk on both the walls and the floor. Think we can have Elizabeth's 2nd birthday party downstairs? Your votes are welcomed.
