Elizabeth's Itty Bitty World

This is my Itty Bitty World. My name is Elizabeth Lorrine Gene Ricketts and I will be 1 year old in Jan. I have many adoring fans so I have to have a place they can come check me out at.

I have not posted in awhile, shame on me. Elizabeth is keeping me busy, making bracelets and trying to get ready for Christmas. Elizabeth is all over the place. She crawls like a pro and is now cruising every where using anything she can find to hold onto. She has two bottom teeth coming in. She uses my coffee tables as a teether. Luckily they have the stressed look to them so her little teeth marks should just blend in. She is in about a size 9 months but her waist is so tiny her pants just fall off of her. We started her on some medicine that doctors give anorexics to make them hungry. It seems to be working a bit. She is finally eating 4 ounce bottles and at times she fusses and grabs for the bottle if we pull it away from her. She loves ice cream and ate about 3 ounces at one setting.

I have a lot of pictures I need to post and get off of my camera. We took her to see Santa Claus for her first time Tuesday night. Santa told Thomas not to let her see him but when she heard his voice her little head immediately swung around to see who was talking. She did not cry, just gave us that goofy "I'm not going to smile for you no matter how crazy you act." look she always gives us when we are trying to get her picture taken. I am very excited to have our first Christmas with her. Last year we were still unsure of the unknown. I know I am in love. She is the best gift ever.
