More Videos of Liza

Liza keeps doing all sorts of fun stuff! Here are a couple videos of what she's been up to recently.

Mowing the Carpet

More Walking!

What a difference one day makes! Liza is walking more than crawling today. I can't believe how quickly she catches on! She also figured out that she can crawl onto the ottoman today. If she can do that, she can get on the couches but shhh! don't tell!

Walking

birthday present!

Tonight Liza gave me a good birthday present. She has been taking a few steps here and there in the previous weeks, but tonight she walked halfway across the room, stopping only when she stepped on a toy frog. It was at least 10 feet, and it was wonderful.

It's been a busy few weeks for us Firths. Making the trip from NM to OH was a piece of cake compared to all the unpacking that awaited us when we arrived!

Jordan's dad came and helped him drive our cars from NM to OH because Liza and I flew. I'm really glad we did it that way because I don't think Liza would have done very well in the car for several days in a row. I think I definitely got the easier job even though Liza was a little difficult on the plane. I got to see both of our families and had a great time visiting.

Since we've been here, the weather has been great. Sure we've had some rain but I'm loving it. Today we went to a park with some friends and threw a Frisbee. The park is green and beautiful. I have a feeling we'll be going again sometime soon.

Liza is moving around all over the place! She's not walking on her own yet but she holds on to the furniture and walks around to everything. She's gotten braver lately and transitions to other pieces of furniture that she really has to reach for. It's fun to watch her do it but a few times she's fallen and hurt her mouth. She's bled 3 times from hitting her mouth on the coffee table. It doesn't seem to stop her though! She gets right back up and does it again (after a good cry of course).

So far Jordan has been able to spend a lot of time at home. I know that'll change when classes start here pretty soon, but we've enjoyed the time together as a family. Here are a couple of pictures from the park today.

home again

We are finally in our house in Ohio. We have been in the process of moving for so long that it is a relief to get here.

The movers came last Monday, and we are about 95% unpacked and probably 45% organized. We're getting there. The only important thing that we have left to unpack is the hardware for Liza's crib. Somehow that has eluded us so far, so she is sleeping in a pack n play in the laundry room.
