Last week she said "L I Z A spells Liza"! 

Schedule:  She sleeps from 7:30 pm to about 7:00 am.  She eats lunch around 11-11:30 and then takes one nap at about 1:00.  Usually this nap is about 2 hours long.  Dinner is at 5:30-6:00 pm and bathtime is right before she goes to bed. 

Favorite Foods:  Cheese, Watermellon, Yogurt, Milk, Cheerios, Peanut Butter Crackers & Corn.  Liza will eat almost any fruit or vegetable you give her, but she is not a fan of meat.

Favorite Toys:  Stuffed Animals (especially kitty), books, ipad games.  Liza also loves to play hide & seek.  Her version: I count to 10 and she hides behind the living room couch or the curtians in her bedroom.  Same hiding place every single time.  She also loves to play "playground".  In this game, we go into her room, turn off the lights and on the sound machine.  The room is now transformed into what she calls her playground.  She then runs around the room, falls on her belly, gets up, runs around the room, falls on her belly, gets up...

Liza loves her baby brother and has been very quick to take on her own "mommy" duties.  She now lines up her stuffed animals and puts a diaper under each one, saying "diaper change  bunny, diaper change piglet, diaper change sheep, etc.".  She also has a little baby that she burbs and rocks to sleep.

We are so blessed to have her!
