I found myself saying the age old term, wow how time flies, I can't believe Lynzee is really 2 years old! Lynzee has come so far from when she was first born, to when she rolled over, starting walking, talking, and chasing her puppy. It makes me think, all this is two years, I can't imagine all the new adventures the next 10 will bring.

Wow - 1 and 1/2 years old, time has gone by and Lynzee changes daily, so much to say - so just a few highlights: Lynzee is learning sign language in school. Two months ago she started "saying" please and more, which is much to her advantage as who can resist a little voice say peese with the hand motion to follow. Just this weekend she has started saying thank you, on her own, without being prompted. Again when a 1.5 year old thanks you, all is forgiven. She is learning how to work it. She is also learning to point things out and item recognition.

Lynzee had her first haircut today. We went to KidsCuts. She got to sit in a fire engine, ring the bell, and watch Blue Clues. Just a few snips to even things out, but now her hair won't hang in her eyes :)

Lynzee is walking! She went from taking a couple of steps this morning to getting up on her own and walking the length of the room this evening. We are very excited and she is pretty proud of herself as well :) We took video and pics, so I will post soon. Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

I think the verdict is in - Lynzee does not like chocolate. We went to PF Cheng's for dinner on Saturday night. She ate everything that Grandpa Crouse had on his plate: salmon, noodles, rice...then we had dessert and she got ice cream (because she is spoiled) and some of Grandpa Hanson's apple pie. We then fed her some of the chocolate cake and she spit it out in disgust. She didn't want anything to do with it. Who knew?...

WOW! Can you believe it has been 1 year?

Wishing everyone a Fantastic New Year!

We all had a great Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful dinner, thank you Jordan, and started our holiday shopping at midnight. We got unbeatable deals this year at the Outlet Mall in Loveland. Lynzee tried a little Thanksgiving dinner as well, she had mashed potatoes with a little gravy, some mashed carrots, and a roll. She hasn't had anything but strained carrots which she loves, so she wasn't sure about the texture and didn't eat the carrots. On Sunday, I had some leftover banana cream pie. I decided to give her a try, she loved it!

At Lynzee's 9 month appointment on November 3 she weighed 17 lbs 4 oz and was 22.5 inches long. She is doing well and growing on schedule. Lynzee has both of her bottom teeth now, the second came in about 1 week later. We have tried many new foods. She loves bread products and has toast strips or pieces of our bread at dinner. She has eaten pancakes, waffles, and Nilla waffers. At 9 months she tried yogurt. She liked it, but just like the meat she got sick. The meat just made her gassy, but she threw up and it was all over and very sour - not good. May not be ready yet for yogurt.

She started crawling forward last weekend and by this weekend she had the hang of it and has started crawling with a purpose. Today she crawled from her bedroom to the loft looking for her Daddy. More big news: Lynzee got her first tooth Friday night!
