The Leopold Family: Catch up

There has been so much going on since I last posted. Between birthday parties, my very active child, and Memorial Day weekend, we have not had a whole lot of free time on our hands. I will start with our first weekend with Daddy since Elizabeth was born! It was so great to have Greg home on the weekends. It just happened to work out that his first Saturday off in eight months was filled with parties! We were invited to lots... three birthday parties, a graduation party, and a wedding all in one weekend. Needless to say, we didn't make them all but we did have fun getting to see family and friends that we had not seen in a long time. I was really looking forward to going to my cousin's wedding but after going to a late birthday party I did not feel well and I decided to lay down for a bit which then turned into all night! At the birthday party Elizabeth enjoyed a little swimming. She loves the water and just goes to town playing in it.

This child will pull up on everything! She was enjoying the party from the safety of her own playpen!

After a quick check up to the doctor during the week where we have verified that we have a 100% healthy baby, we took on Memorial Day weekend! I also want to state that I have been doing very good on my working out and GCC. GCC stands for Global Corporate Challenge and it is a program that I joined through work where you are on a team and your team does a virtual walk around the world by wearing a pedometer and entering your step count everyday. It really has kept me motivated. I also enjoy the classes at 24 hour fitness. I did a muscle blast class that nearly killed me for about three days but so far so good!

Memorial Day weekend was kind of low key except for the fact that my daughter is trying to walk like MONTHS before she is supposed too! Saturday Greg, myself, and Greg's parents went to a Skeeter's game in Sugarland. It was really neat and of course the tickets were really great too. We were in the Legends' Club with all the free food and drinks... talk about sweet and ruining all my hard work during the week!

Sunday was a fun day of swimming. It was Elizabeth's first time in a big pool and besides her first reaction without me there, she loved it. After I got in with her, she was a much happier baby. We were at my Aunt Carol's were we enjoyed a fabulous meal, fun games of domino's, and just relaxation.

Elizabeth playing with Chica... she thought she was really funny!

Monday we went over to Greg's Aunt Frieda's house where we enjoyed crawfish and roasters, oh yeah, and more swimming! This time I did not get in the pool with Elizabeth but her Daddy stepped up to the plate and got in. She of course loved it but I didn't have my camera to capture them in the pool... Greg says it was planned that way but I promise it wasn't. We left a little early so we could get home and do things around our own house that has been sadly neglected since our little princess has arrived. We will be baby proofing very soon since this little princess has now started walking around everything and pushing every button she can find. She is also after every plug in the house. We have tile floors and her daddy is about to drive me crazy with worry because she is still unstable. This however does not stop her... she falls and gets right back up and into everything! She has since discovered that things move and will then try to push them around the house... her Bumbo, her stand and play toy, her walker thing in the pictures below... if it doesn't move, she gets upset because she wants to WALK... she has only been crawling for two weeks! This scares the crap out of me. I am waiting for the day she just takes off. We moved her to the carpet to play so if she fell it wouldn't be such a hard hit. Here is her adventure down the hall and into our room:

"Watch me Mom!"
