Elizabeth is TWO!!!

Elizabeth Grace is TWO!!!!! Crazy, I know. She is getting so big and is even learning to help mommy do some things. A couple mornings ago after I had gotten the girls dressed Elizabeth, without help, put Katherine's cereal bowl in the sink, put the diapers in the trash, and put the dirty laundry in the clothes hamper. I was so excited as I began to catch a glimmer of hope...I am going to make it! :) Actually, although being a full time Mom is a very hard job I do enjoy it and it isn't all that bad. It is fun to do mommy things and make lots of memories. I enjoy doing things like the girls birthday parties! The day before Elizabeth's birthday we had a small birthday party for her at our house. It was fun.
Here are a few shots I took of Elizabeth at the Myriad Gardens downtown.

Elizabeth is getting so big! Here are some of her favorite things to do as well as some of the milestones we have crossed:
1. Read - although she can't actually read she has many book nearly memorized and loves for mommy to read to her.
2. Sing - we sing all the time. She knows LOTS of songs. Some of the greatest are ones we make up.
3. Liz is potty trained! She did a great job. She does still wear a diaper at night and nap time.
4. She is super close to being able to spell her name. The last three letters sometimes stump her. (A song we sing taught her this.)
5. Knows her colors
6. She really likes watching cartoons. This is something her and daddy like to do together. :)
Elizabeth is a very active little girl and just seems to love life. No worries, no stress, little responsibility....it really effects your attitude and how cute you are. :)



Thank you to everyone who got Elizabeth a gift. They were all wonderful. She got some great new clothes, book, craft things, and other toys.

I made Elizabeth a moon and stars Birthday cake because she LOVES the moon!


One of her favorite gifts was the tea set she got from Nanny and Papa. She plays with it almost every day! The weather was beautiful the day of the party so Papa took the tea stuff outside and had a small water cooler filled with water so they could fill the cups. Elizabeth and Jasmine LOVED this!!! I greatly enjoy them playing pretend. It is so cute! I am amazed at how much they already are so girly.
