A smattering of updates

Hello, faithful blog readers. Same ol' same ol' going on here at the Ward household. Well, except for the awesomeness that is Elizabeth. While she's still our little munchkin, she apparently is now in the same lofty cohort as giraffes and Tyra Banks, measuring in at the 95th percentile for height for her age group.

Here's our amazing amazon now dancing like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. (Tom's photo is the bottom well, in case you couldn't tell...he's the short one)



And while I'm frankly not a fan of this picture because I think it looks like E is stoned, Kate indicated that she likes it. So here it is, our stoned baby.

In order to be as tall as she is, we had to change her diet to include "growth" foods such as ice cream and french fries. Here's Elizabeth enjoying her first tastes of both.
And when she's not showing off her super dancing or super eating skills, we like to think she still retains some super-ness....perhaps super baldness....so we sometimes give her a cape.
Finally, here's a cute video of a future whirling dervish and metaphysics major ... when she finally gets it in video two.

Kate's little helper

Kate and I had talked about getting a maid recently...someone to help with the cleaning while Kate tends to the baby. But we think we found a solution: Elicit the baby to help with the cleaning.


Because we thought this was SOOO adorable, here's another video of them finishing up...again without pants (Elizabeth is battling some diaper rash, you see. So the more fresh air, the better).

Cleanliness is Godliness

In this first video, Elizabeth shows the world her love of simple, clean living. In the second she flaps her arms like a city-dwelling pigeon who just discovered the powdered sugar remnants in the ziploc bag weren't powdered sugar. .... Now if only she could combine these attributes to dust the apartment...
