Lizzy Turns 2!

This week was Lizzy's 2nd Birthday. This event was very bittersweet for us. We are going to miss our 1-year old baby. Right on schedule, Lizzy has started to say No to everything. It's still cute at times because she often doesn't even mean it, but she can already throw a pretty good fit when she wants to.

The last month has been busy. We've spent lots of time at toy stores; letting Lizzy play with everything to see what she would really like for her birthday and Christmas. Lizzy also loves Santa so we've hit a lot of the malls around so she can see him; though she has no desire to go anywhere close to him. Her cutest new phrases are Birday (Happy Birthday) and I Wuv Vou (I Love You).

We built a fort for Lizzy and her cousins to play in on Thanksgiving Day

Lizzy recently got a new life-size Minnie Mouse. For weeks they were inseparable and we could get Lizzy to do anything as long as Minnie was doing it.

Max loved Christmas Mickey  for so long that Mickey got "urgently called away on business"

This time she was able to blow out the candles all by herself - and she was done
blowing them out long before the song was over. :)
