Paul sent me this pic of him and Lizzie playing with the foam letters and shapes in the basement. I love it! Because it shows Lizzie in motion. She loves to play with them and loves to take off her clothes and just keep a onesie on. Lizzie is really really developing this month. It's truly incredible. I can't believe she'll be 2 in a month!! Here are some things she is doing:
- She is starting to show concern and care for others - at such a young age! For example, she bonked her head yesterday and I cried and I got pretty worried, so worried that I began to cry. When she saw my tears, she stopped crying and grabbed a kleenex to help me dry mine. So touching. Also, later that day, I was coughing and she looked and me concerned and said "you otay"? How cute is that?
- She knows what she wants and what she doesn't. When she really doesn't want something she says "nononononono" in the cutest way.
- She is not a pushover in the playground but she is not a bully either. I enjoy observing that about her.
- She does like to imitate the "big kids" and loves that attention
- She says "yuv you"
- She has gotten out of and into her crib a couple of times by herself. Egads!!
- She has no idea a baby is coming. Not sure how to explain that to her but she does love babies.
- She says a lot more words now. Sadly more in English than Spanish. It's hard to do Spanish in an English-speaking word but I'm still plugging along.
- She likes to play in her crib and says "sleepy" when she's tired.
Of course, I can't think of many more when I need to but suffice it to say she's a love and we love this age she's in. Here are some more pics.
