Happy Birthday Elizabeth

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!! It hardly seems possible that four years have passed since our little sweetheart was born. When she was just a little tiny baby, we used to swaddle her tight and call her our little bean burrito. Now, we can hardly scoop her up for a hug and a kiss, she's always on the go! She's made amazing strides over the last year - successfully made it through preschool, star of the show at dance class (again), huge language development, and loving sister. She is so amazing with Emily - gentle, defensive, instructive, and oh so caring. Except when they fight... She is doing a great job showing Emily how to successfully navigate through life. Elizabeth loves all things Disney, especially all things Disney princesses, especially Ariel (although that is subject to change at any time). She loves books - loves, loves, loves to be read to. Loves playing in the yard, running around, playing in the water. Elizabeth has boundless energy and a never ending supply of words - talk, talk, talk. She still looks like a mini-Lee; her hair grows longer and blonder every day; but she has a stubborn, talkative personality like me. Favorite word is "why"; favorite food is pizza; favorite snack is pretzels (just like her daddy); favorite treat is ice cream, followed closely by M&Ms (just like her mommy). She continues to amaze us, exasperate us, and surprise us every day. She fills us with love.
