Originally I used this blog as a diary almost to remember all of the stuff that Lizzy did at her different stages. Recently I have become obsessed with facebook, and I have neglect the blog and writing down things about Lizzy. So tonight I have a couple of minutes and I just want to get down all the amazing (and challenging) things my lovely daughter is doing now.

Lizzy is currently CRAZY for puzzles. She does them constantly. She has about ten that she rotates and does them over and over again. She is actually pretty good at them, and her new logic skills are amazing to me. She also amazes us with the funny things that come out of her mouth. Her speaking has gotten really good in the last year, and I feel like she is watching us even more. About three weeks ago she asked us why Jenn's belly was so big. We told her that she had a baby in her belly and that soon we would get to meet her. The next morning Lizzy told us that she had five babies in her belly. She then rubbed my face and asked me, "Mommy you still love me when my five babies come out and you not be sad?" We asked her if she could just start with one baby; she said no-it had to be five. Then she started having the babies-this meant that small objects around the house became "babies": crayons, pom poms, etc. Lizzy's babies would cry, and then like any good mother she forgot about them. Yesterday she told us that she now has ten new babies in her belly. I cannot wait to meet them too!
