Eliza at 11 months...
saw fireworks for the first time
snuggles and says mmmmmm
gives the best kisses
splashes in the tub
loves elmo, puppies, swimming, cookies
feeds sophie the giraffe
watches and listens for birds
purses lips
eats popsicles from moms mouth like a bird
says dad dad dad all day long
plays peek a boo and patty cake
thinks it's hilarious and tries to wake us up we pretend to be asleep
will play at a park all day long
likes to play in water
takes a few steps on her own
not such a fan of her carseat
clicks her tongue
wants to feed herself
not so sure about grass anymore
almost the big o n e
The joyful love with which our parents welcomed us and accompanied our first steps in this world is like a sacramental sign and prolongation of the benevolent love of God from which we have come. The experience of being welcomed and loved by God and by our parents is always the firm foundation for authentic human growth and authentic development, helping us to mature on the way towards truth and love, and to move beyond ourselves in order to enter into communion with others and with God.
Benedict XVI
