Lizzie's Friends

Hello all! I know we haven't written for a long time. Blame our trip to the US (which was great! check out the photos on Picasa), then the Olympics starting soon after we returned. Speaking of which, you may know that we don't regularly have TV, just dvds and video games. But, I wanted to watch the Olympics, so we borrowed a satellite dish and receiver from some friends who didn't use theirs because they recently moved on base. Will managed to set up the satellite dish after a few tries, and it's worked like a charm! We missed opening ceremonies, but I've had it on almost every day. Can't wait to go in person, we leave in the morning!

The main topic of this post is Lizzie, as usual :-). She used to hate her diaper changes, and would scream bloody murder from the time her back hit the changing pad to the second we had the new diaper fastened. We never figured out why. Well, that was before we went to the states for 3 weeks. At some point, she grew up a bit more, and started to realize that diaper changes were helpful, not hurtful. She became resigned to them, no longer screaming, but not really happy about it. After we returned, though, she noticed the mobile over her table. It had always been there, but she could never see it before. Now those mobile pictures are her best friends, and she talks to them whenever she lays down! No more screaming diaper changes :-)

Here is a video compilation of several changes. It may be a bit long, but I hope you enjoy my happy, talking baby Lizzie!
