The Latest & Greatest

Elizabeth -

Can do a seat drop
Climbs in and off of Daniel's bed, the couch, and dining chairs
Goes down stairs on her bottom
Rides her Ladybug push toy
Laughs at Wall-E in appropriate scenes (I can't believe we have let her watch movies!)
Sucks soft cheese and peanut butter off of celery
Understand EVERYTHING we say, no doubt, and has no problem saying no or squealing in resistance.
Likes to sit on the potty (we did not suggest this) and can take off all of her clothes
Will follow her big brother everywhere
Picks at him for a reaction!
Recognizes friends and neighbors
Loves her paci the BEST. Bunny is okay, but nothing is as good as the paci.
Shows off by running around, spinning, stomping, and shrugging.
Chases Daniel around the table, airport, restarants, malls.
Has an affinity for Elmo. Waved at him at SeaWorld, but did not want to stand next to him for a picture.
No longer wants to sit in a high chair at a restaurant. Must sit in a booster in a regular seat or she will have a hissy.
Loves accessories - sunglasses and hats, especially.
Never wants to be left behind by her brother and daddy. If Daniel has to go to the bathroom while we are out somewhere, she insists on going along with them.
Jibbers and jabbers, but mostly just gestures for communication. Daniel will say, "Wizzy wants a cookies. Wizzy says she wants my toy. Wizzy won't weave me awone!"
Slept in a twin bed with a bed rail at Aunt Jo's with no problem - I think she thought it was really cool to share a room with Daniel and be in a big girl bed.
Likes to wear other people's shoes. Mine and Scott's at home. We were at a friend's house the other day, and she put on her one year old friend's sandals.
Loves baby dolls and pushing them in her stroller all over the house and up and down the sidewalk.
Loves to slide and swing. Not so sure about sandboxes or going barefoot outside.
Takes shoes off the instant she is buckled in her car seat!
Seems to like songs by the Wiggles. If she is upset in the car and I ask her if she wants to listen to the CD, she says yes every time.
Still not in to fruit or fruit juice. I'll bring bananas and apple juice as her only options so she will eat them!
