19 Months

Not only was Tuesday tax day, but it marked 19 months of life for Elizabeth! She is so much fun these days that it is hard to pick out the highlights! Her vocabulary continues to increase and her ability to associate things is growing as well. For example, when she sees a red light, she yells, "Yed- STOP!" She is starting to really get colors but still struggles with the in between ones like lime green or blue violet- how do you explain those?!? The sunshine and the moon are two of her favorite things, and she loves to locate and follow the moon on our evening family walks. She has just begun to really show an interest in her babies and takes very good care of them, hopefully a sign of her being an excellent big sister. Her "girliness" is emerging in her LOVE for shoes, a bow in her hair, and insisting on using my make up brush while I put on my make up. She has mastered buckling and shows some signs of OCD by making sure she buckles back the straps of her booster seat as soon as she gets out. She has become a confident climber and loves to climb up on our bed for family snuggle time each day when Daddy gets home from work. Her attention span is continually growing and thus the number of books we read in one sitting is growing as well! Elizabeth's will is strong, yet she aims to please Mommy and Daddy. A minute in time out is torture, because she knows she has disappointed us. She is such a sweetheart, and we are thankful for her snuggles, kisses, and loving disposition.
A Sonic drink is a must for the hard work of planting flowers!
What a great helper!

Our sweet girl!

Cutie Pies

Today we had lots of fun with the girls! Emma came over for some good play time with Elizabeth and Madalyn. This weather is awesome, so a good part of our time together was spent enjoying bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and the sunshine! Of course, everyone was way too busy to even look at the camera!
