18 Months!

Yes 18 months! Lizzi is a year and a half already! Time seriously flies! She is so much fun!! She is so smart too, I'm sure all parents feel this way but she seriously amazes me. She talks a lot!! She has quite the vocabulary for an 18 month old and has turned into a little echo and copies almost everything we say. We won't have a check up until January. The pediatrician is on a humanitarian trip and will not be back for a little bit. But she eats like a horse and is growing like a weed. She flipped a switch when she turned 18 months old and now she LOVES her sister and wants to help with everything. It is endearing but also a little unnerving because she still isn't totally used to being careful with sister... we'll get there. She loves puzzles and putting anything that has a place in that place. She LOVES bath time and wants one multiple times a day (we just settle for a wash cloth most of the day haha). She has recently started trying to jump and it is hilarious to watch! She is a monkey and climbs all over everything and everyone that is in her way. She loves being outside as she has most all of her life. She loves helping mommy and daddy feed the animals. She likes leading music whenever she hears singing and shouting amen whenever she hears others say it. She will sit on her little bench or on other toys and pretend she is saying her prayers and it is so darling! I cannot believe the blessing she is in our lives and how lucky we are to have her! She is just what I needed and I cannot imagine my life with out her. Since I have been able to be home for 12 weeks after having McKenna Lizzi has decided mommy is not all bad and we are finally becoming little buddies, it's been all about daddy her whole life but she is finally warming up to me. I love her sweet hugs and kisses and hearing her giggles and little voice all day. I love being a mom!!!! We have our hard days for sure but there isn't anywhere I would rather be. Being a mom is truly a blessing, gift, and the best job ever! The pictures I have attached are from between her first birthday and now so there are a few and she will looks different in them given the time difference.

This is what happens when you decide you want to empty dresser drawers and undress during nap time instead of taking a nap. This was 5:15pm

She loves Teddy

New definition of sitting on the pot. (This is her "cheese" pose she yells cheese and does this for pictures)
