8 months old

Elizabeth turned 8 months old yesterday. She celebrated her birthday by staying up late visiting with Aunt Beth and Robyn (the cousin who has claimed credit for her tongue fascination). This was not by her parent's design, but instead because Elizabeth refuses to sleep or eat if there's any other option that might prove to be more interesting. Here is Elizabeth playing with Robyn:



Fortunately, this resulted in Elizabeth sleeping in late (until 9:00), for which we were very grateful. She normally wakes up between 6-6:30am, even on Saturdays! When we got up, we found Lyra keeping Jon warm in his bed.



Yes, he really was under there!

The baby was asleep also, but she woke up as soon as she heard the camera trying to take her picture (refer to the previous comment about not sleeping through anything!).

Finally, I must share with you cute pictures from our play time before bed tonight:





Smiles and giggles all around. What a great way to end the day!
