My little girl is growing up! If I were to describe Lizzy in three words I would say: active, curious, and confident.

Lizzy believes in herself and her capabilities. She is not afraid to try new things. She's well coordinated for her age. She can climb on things and go up and down the stairs without hurting herself. She can also grasp a pen or pencil very well and draw scribbles. She gets bored quickly, and needs to keep moving constantly so she can explore new things and challenge herself physically. She likes to cuddle and be held when she's not in a busy mood. She's a little stand-offish with people other than her immediate family, but she loves to socialize and play from a distance. She is very vocal and bright. She understands what people say most of the time, and figures things out very quickly. She is a happy child with a great sense of humor.

Little quirks:

• When she wants to eat something really bad she says: "Mmmm! Yaeeee!"
• If she hears anybody opening the front door or walking up the stairs she will whisper: "Pa-pa."
• She says "hi" enthusiastically after we say "Amen" at the end of family prayers.
• If I open the fridge, she immediately checks to see if there's a box of Gogurt.
• She DOES NOT like being brought inside after playing outdoors. That's the only time she will throw a huge tantrum.
  
• She knows how to climb on the bed, the couch, and the dining room table. YIKES!
