So I’ve been looking at lists and lists of baby names for what seems like forever. With Addison it only took us a couple days and we knew instantly what her name would be. Right now I think we’ve come to the same conclusion with our lil’ sis coming. What do you think about the name Elizabeth- Liz for short? It has a funny story that goes along with it… ok it may only be funny to me. I have no idea why, but when Christer would tease me and pretend that I was in “trouble” he would call me “Catherine Elizabeth” – as if he was saying my full name. Thing is…. that’s not my name, not even close. So it just made me giggle everytime he did it. We still don’t have a middle name yet. I’ve been thinking about Lee, Ann (after my grandma), and a few others.
By the way, Addison is pretty much walking- when she thinks you’re not looking LOL! She is being really funny about it. She’ll stand on her own now, which she’s been doing for a while, but now she actually wants you to see her do it and praise her. Today she has taken a few (as in 3) steps toward something from her own starting place. No hanging onto mom or dad and no coaching required. Of course if you let her know that you are watching, she’ll drop to the floor in an instant. It’s pretty funny and exciting since she did it a couple times just today ![]()

Elizabeth would be a wonderful name and I like the nickname, too. It is also Christer’s grandmother’s middle name. I’ll bet he didn’t know that.
I like Elizabeth. It is Janelle’s middle name.
