Lizzy update

I had to make a post of all the funny/cute things Lizzy has been saying. She’s talking so much better and in sentences, it’s so cute. It doesn’t really flow, but it’s more so I have a record of it as well! I hope you enjoy!

On Saturday, we saw some fireworks from our balcony, and Lizzy said "Kylie, Josh, Garrett" (her cousins whom she last saw fireworks with). She said "Mommy no” with a scared look, and then said “I said that" recalling what she did last time she saw fire works during the 4th of July. She was okay this time, because they were farther away. She also named the colors of the fireworks as they went off.

Lizzy is playing more by herself, which has been nice, because I've been working more. She plays with her stuffed animals and dolls. She puts ideas together, like saying: “The baby is cold” and gets a blanket for her baby doll, or “Baby hungry” and gets the bottle for the baby doll. On Sunday she laid out a blanket, put her stuffed animals on it, and reading to them. When she was done with one book she asked “another book, okay” and got one from her room, it was so cute. I wished I had a video of that!

Last week after John did a U-turn she asked, “Daddy, are you crazy?” and now she likes to say “daddy crazy driver.” Or “mommy crazy driver”
She peeks under the bathroom door and says. “daddy, I can see your toes”
She likes to say, “I see you” in the mirror, or behind the shower curtain and “Look at me,”
“Come on, I’m ready” and even motions with her hand to come.
“I don’t like it” or “I like it”
When we are driving and get close to the house she says “no home” – she likes to go shopping – and ride in the “fun” carts, and push the small cart and Smiths.
She says “look, fun” when she sees something she thinks is fun. She loves to point out the waterslides “wawaslide”… she’s been doing this before they even opened.

Almost every time I ask her “Who taught you that?” her response is “Eva” (my sister) It’s mostly when she’s singing or saying something and I can’t understand what she is saying. Sometimes it’s things she does. So we like to ask her this a lot now to see what she’ll say. I think she may have caught on, and is humoring us… she already knows how to tease. Oh, and she loves to be tickled!

She recognized letters and when we are driving around town she’ll say “mommy I see letters”. Her favorites to point out are “M”, “W” I have several BYU t-shirts and she says “BYU” – which is when I first realized she actually knew her letters. She also knows and likes to point and say “Costco”, “I see temple”, “church”

She likes to count too. Mostly pointing out when there is two of something. She even recognizes the number 2 and 5. She can count to ten, almost. She has a harder time with 1-5, but when she gets to 5 she has no problem, which I think is funny… She likes to say 1,3,2,1.
I love my little girl, who is growing up fast! Every time I think I’m ready to post this, I think of another thing I think is “so cute” although it’s much different when you read it and see it in person! I’m glad we’ll get to see more family on both sides next month!
