22 months and counting...


My sweet little Elizabeth turns 22 months old today. She is such a joy in my life. I love her with all of my heart. I am so blessed to be her mommy. Since she is 22 months old...I wanted to list 22 things that I never want to forget about her.

1. Elizabeth rubs and pats my back when we snuggle.

2. Elizabeth has to kiss every baby she sees...no matter who they are, or where we are.

3. Elizabeth calls pizza..."piz piz".

4. Every morning Elizabeth sits on my lap with a bowl of cheerios and her sippy cup of milk, while we watch the Backyardigans.

5. Elizabeth loves to "scare" grandma and papa when they come home from work. She sits by the side of the couch and yells "A Boo" when they walk through the door.

6. Elizabeth thinks that anyone coming to our front door is a pizza delivery person. She demands "piz piz" and gets quite upset if they don't have one.

7. Elizabeth wanders around the house creating piles of things. She will go to all of the different rooms, grab random items, and create a pile somewhere in the house...usually the loft.

8. While sucking on her binkie, Elizabeth will grab it with her hand and flip it. We don't know why...she just grabs it and turns it around in her mouth.

9. Elizabeth hates anything on her head. Headbands...Hats...bows...forget about it.

10. Elizabeth feeds cheerios to all of her babies and animals. While she feeds them, she smacks her lips together to make an "eating noise".

11. Elizabeth loves to spin-spin and will do it until she is so dizzy that she cannot stand up.

12. Elizabeth LOVES to dance. If there is any kind of music...she is dancing. It doesn't matter what kind of music...if it has a beat...she dances.

13. While I cut Elizabeth's fingernails, she cries so loud that our neighbors probably think that I am murdering her.

14. Elizabeth is obsessed with chapstick. She puckers her lips and waits for you to put it on her. I even caught her trying to go through a strangers purse to find one.

15. Elizabeth calls the phone a "MeMe". I think she does this because we called grandma MeMe on the phone quite a bit when Elizabeth was younger.

16. Elizabeth loves Sherman the Worman. He has been on a couple of episodes of The Backyardigans...and she goes nuts.

17. Elizabeth calls her binkie a "doot doot". We have no idea why. If you ask her to say binkie, she looks right at you and says "doot doot".

18. Elizabeth still takes two naps a day. One in the morning...exactly an hour and a half after she wakes up...and one in the afternoon. Her morning nap is usally 2-3 hours long, while the afternoon nap usually last an hour.

19. Elizabeth is deathly afraid of the vacuum. She will cry and run away. If Matt is close, she clings to him for protection. The vacuum totally terrifies her.

20. Elizabeth tells herself to be quiet by placing her index finger in front of her mouth while making a "shhhh" sound.

21. Elizabeth gives the best kisses. She use to do open-mouth kissies but a couple of months back she started to pucker. It is the cutest thing to see her pucker her lips and walk across the room towards you...you always know when a kissie is on its' way.

22. Elizabeth hates it when anyone lays down and closes their eyes. She will freak out, run over to you, and try to pull your eyelids open.
