Lizzy's last month

Lizzy has now hit 23 months and it's hard to believe that we are reaching an end to giving her age in months and moving on to years. Lizzy has had a busy month, celebrating Halloween with all of her cousins and getting ready for the Holidays. She is learning and growing so quickly. She continues to learn a couple of new words daily and lately is learning a lot of new words that we don't ever use with her and don't know how she learned them. Some of her current favorite words are:

• ChitChee - her version of Trick or Treat
• Pease - Please (she is getting really good at using this)
• Good Job - this is her current compliment of choice.
• Sandy! - Lizzy loves the old Annie movie, particularly the part where Annie is calling her dog, Sandy. After seeing it, she likes to walk around with her hands cupped over her mouth yelling Sandy.
• Baby - When Lizzy first learned to say her name, she said something like Diddy, but called all babies Diddy, as well. At some point she learned to say baby correctly but at the same time she stopped saying her own name.  So now, she just calls herself baby.

For an almost 2-year old, we think she eats pretty well. A lot of times she refuses everything we offer to her, but then there are times when she eats the same things as us and eats everything we give her.  We're glad she likes some reasonably healthy things like wheat bread, eggs, rolls, cheese and strawberries and grapes. She also loves Nutella, Pretzels and our homemade salsa.

Here are pictures from the last month:

Go Boowee!  (How Lizzy says BYU)

At one point all 3 cousins were in that cupboard. This did only end in tears.
