Blah blah blah GINGER

Not a whole lot going on here with Miss E., but Mac pointed out that I was due a post so here it is. I think we have had so much excitement lately what with crawling and teeth and new cars and porches and so on that just the little things that make a day fun have gotten lost. She knows her name now - somewhat. That is to say, she will turn to me when I say it. I have not tested this theory by saying something else and seeing if she turns (would that be the opposite of "blah blah blah, Ginger"?). She is also starting to understand the sign for "milk" - sort of. I say it and do the sign, she smiles and comes over to me. Who knows what she is responding to? Blah blah blah MILK blah blah blah.

Eliza has also discovered the concepts of gravity and cause & effect. Translation: she likes to drop things on the floor b/c they fall and I will always pick them up. We sat out on the balcony and did this with a flower for about 15 minutes. She could have given that Isaac Newton guy a serious run for his money.



What else? She is still loving to dance by bouncing up and down on her knees. She also tries to clap along to music (and speaking of music, those of you with kids should pick up Rick and Audrey's new CD, Imagine That! Lots of fun. Eliza likes the map song. She is her father's kid, after all!). I think she also sings, although she has yet to produce a tune I really recognize. But I might be out of touch with current music, so who can say? Her favorite time to sing is when she has woken up from a nap and is shaking the bars of her cage, hoping to be freed.



We are headed to Michigan on Friday for a family reunion on Mac's side - Eliza's first long car ride! Wish us all luck!!! Hopefully we'll have lots of fun pictures and fun stories to share when we return. In the meantime, I leave you all with Mac's company's newest consultant, hard at work showing her dad the problems with his deck:
