E and some babies
Basketball Fun!















Elizabeth is 17 months old. OH MY!  She has such a personality..... At such a young age she is so caring and thoughtful.  She searches for boo-boos on your body so she can kiss them and make them better for you.  She loves to brush my hair, she'll even scratch my back....... She's getting much better at 'being easy', or as she says 'B.  E.  Z.'  She's already such a little mommy to about 100 'babies'.  Anything can be a baby..... big, small, hard, soft... if she can hold it than it can be her baby!  Today she had about 10 babies in her little stroller.  She pushes them around, accidentally running into walls and doors.  Night time can be a little tricky as she still take a bottle while I rock her.  That wouldn't be so bad if she didn't insist on holding 2-5 babies with her as I'm trying to rock and feed her! It's an adventure.  I about laugh every night but I don't really want to encourage it. The other night she kept yelling 'money' and I was thinking 'yes, we all want money, baby.....but you can't have any'.... Well after she yelled it for awhile I figured out she meant 'bunny' and wanted her stuffed rabbit!

Her talking is so amazing.  I of course think she's so good, but really, she is!  Here are some of her favorite things to say:
  • jou-jou (yuckies on her hands)
  • more peas (more please)
  • pea-peas (peaches)
  • iyuvmomma (I love momma..... she adds about anything to the end of that... iyuvpeapeas.....)
  • poop (poop, of course!)
  • mooooooooooooooon (moon, she's obsessed with the moon, she may become an astronaut!)
  • money (bunny)
  • granmommy (grandma)
  • mimi (meemaw..my mom)
  • uppeasdadda (up, please, dadda...... even when it's not daddy there!)
She loves to play with the ipad.  She calls for 'Goger' (Grover) and wants to play it.  Right now her favorite game is a farm game.  It shows pictures of animals and says a name or makes a sound and she has to touch that animal.  She loves it!  She always loves to type of the search boxes... I'm not sure what she's looking for.

She continually amazes Audie and I.  We couldn't dream of having a more precious little girl.  She loves bubbles and hats.... smelling feet and playing with socks....  Most people are amazed to hear that she'll still go in her 'jump around' to play while I take a shower!  When she starts getting fussy we sing.  She loves the song 'rain rain go away'.  She sings it in the most precious voice, she can sing 'rain, rain, go away' in her soft airy voice!

I had spring break in March.  It was so nice to be home with my little girl.  She hated for me to go back to school: (  We went to the Cleveland Aquarium while I was on spring break.  She had so much fun.  She kept saying "i yuv you fishie".  It was so sweet!




















Aunt Sara has watched Elizabeth on a few days and she says she's amazed at how well E listens.  She'll go get her diapers and wipes, tell you when she poops and lay down for her on the floor. (now for us she doesn't always do that... for Audie she will, but for me it's 'game on').

I can't wait for you to see her Easter Dress.... A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!!! We did an egg hunt at Jodi's house. Her first egg she picked up and then walked over and put it in Kristin's basket! What a sweetie!  Eventually she got the point of getting the eggs, but she wasn't in a hurry at all!
