Elizabeth took her first steps the evening before her birthday. She kept busy practicing during her grandparents’ visit. But it has been just in the past week when we have noticed she has gained confidence and a lot better balance. It won’t be long before she is cruising around on her two little legs without the support of one of us nearby!
Helping Oma fold the laundry. Elizabeth is starting to really enjoy being involved with whatever activity the adult in the room is doing. However, I think it is also partially driven by curiosity! At the moment, it makes cooking more complicated since she now wants to see everything I am doing!
Listening to her singing birthday card…over and over and over again!
Enjoying the Old City souk. This picture is awfully posed…but sometimes it is necessary to get a semi-decent picture!
Getting some extra help with the spoon. Using an eating utensil has a huge learning curve! At present, her focus on using a spoon has waned. Perhaps partially because of how frustrating it must be to always have your food fall off the spoon en route to your mouth!
We enjoyed many meals together. We adults enjoyed the conversation. Elizabeth loved the extra company and having a bigger singing choir to direct (as seen in the video). Oma and Opa taught her a popular French kid’s song. She loved it! And she continues to ask for this song, often at the dinner table, by waving her hands at us. She practically jumps out of her chair with joy when we oblige and sing the song! It’s a catchy tune and it has required me to work on a developing a respectable French accent :)

Thanks for sharing these pictures of Oma and Opa's visit. Loved the French song. Elizabeth looks like she loves that song.
