Every Tuesday and Thursday we took a baby swim class at the YMCA at Town Lake called the shrimp class. Lizzy loved kicking her legs like a little frog, laying comfortably on her back, and jumping into the pool from a seated position. We sang her favorite song: "wheels on the bus" every class and she got to chew rubber ducky's and diving rings.
We had to miss one of our swim classes, because there was fear that the roads would get icy. The next morning we woke up and it snowed! It was a bit cold, but we bundled up to check out her first snow.
On the week of Feb 7, Daddy and Mommy had to move her crib down to the lowest position because she learned how to pull her self up. She practiced her pulling up skills so much that by the end of February she began to "cruise" the furniture (walk while holding on to furniture) and got more than one bruise.
On February 15, she waved good bye to a little 1.5 year old (Elena) at day care and then she waved hello to her friend Juno at swim class. Now she waves at almost every kid she sees, her doggies, and a few lucky adults.
February 17, Lizzy and mommy took their first road trip together to go visit Grandma Roxy and Grumpa in Houston. Lizzy slept most of the ride but boy when we got to Houston during rush hour she was done with the long trip. We pulled over and Grandma and Grumpa met us so that Grandma could ride in the back and cheer Lizzy up. When we got to Grandma's house, aunt Morgan was there to meet us and boy did Lizzy love smiling and her pretty aunts amazing hair. We went shopping, visited Grumpa's work, went to the Zoo (she was more impressed by the kids visiting the zoo then the animals), and she even grossed out her aunt and Grumpa by chewing a slice of bread until it was mush.
The last week of February, Grandma Bonnie went to swim class to see Lizzy swim, and was very impressed with how comfortable she was in the water.
Grandma had more fun than Lizzy even in the back seat
