We were worried that Lizzy would be bored at home instead of going to daycare, but Matt has been documenting their fun-filled days.
Jared, Matthew, and Benjamin Dhaemers came to visit Lizzy and Matt recently. Two Dad's on kid duty...how fun.
Helping Daddy clean up the Halloween decorations. Apparently everything is more fun in a wagon.
Eating lunch at Round the Clock with Grammy Dizie. Lizzy eats out A LOT.
Posing as a big girl. Where did our baby go?

Lizzy is now does perfect imitations of Matt and of me. For me...she says most things just like I do, with the same inflection, wait time, etc. For Matt...she has his laugh down, so now we she "pretends" that things are funny, she just closes her eyes and shakes. She looks just like Daddy. It is the funniest thing, and it always gets Matt to actually laugh.

Also, we have noticed a lot of "here you goes". If she is handing you anything, "Here you go, Mommy. Here you go." This comes straight from Matt. This is his catchphrase.

Abba and Grammy both gave Lizzy non-candy gifts. She was not falling for it :) Thanks for trying.

Caden joined us for about seven houses. Lizzy said he was the best part of Halloween...oooh!
Lizzy was the Little Mermaid, and LOVED Trick-or-Treating. We walked from our house to Dave and Dianne's, making sure we stopped at every house. Lizzy kept asking if the house was "open" and didn't fall for Mommy's trick of saying the candy was for her. So...we gave in and gave her three, very small pieces of candy. Long story short...apparently when a child who never gets candy has candy sugar really does have to effect. She was CRAZY, and Mommy has volunteered to eat the remaining candy.
