My Lizzy at Two Years Old

Her favorite food is banana and peanut butter.

She likes for me to put her blanket on her back and say “nite nite” and then she pops back up and laughs.

She can’t go to bed without her Bear, Nite Nite Bunny and Pig.

When she can’t find Daisy she says, “where Daisy go?” and puts her hands up in the air.

She loves fruit snacks! Can’t get enough of them.

When she is doing a trick, like jumping off a step or running back and forth she starts by first saying, “7 7 2”. At least I think that’s what she says, it’s still under review.

She likes to make silly faces, wink her eye and make an angry face for the camera.

She tickles the backs of my legs when she is standing behind me at the sink.

She is going to be a computer pro by age 5.

She says “Hi”, “hmmm, and Bye” into the phone.

Grandpa is “pawpaw”, Grandma is “ma”, G-Dad” is “Dad” and Grammy is “Gabby”

Her hair smells like outside after school.

She smiles when I wake her up in the morning and always says “Mommmmeee” when she sees my face.

Her favorite words are “Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy”.

But my heart melts when she says, “Momma”.

She is a sucker for the swings and slides and can do the slide all by herself.

She laughs the hardest when her Daddy is being silly.

And she cries for no reason except I think she just loves me so much she can’t stand it. :-P

It got away from me...

The last year has flown by, so much so that I forgot about my blog. Not that it surprises me. I am the Queen of Procrastination. I also live with the King too, so that should tell you a lot. Not only did I not get around to my blog, I also did not get around to all things involving babies like, baby book, photo albums, saving her old clothes and little items in a tight waterproof safe so one day she can look back fondly on her childhood and thank me for not letting her things burn to ash or float to sea.

I'm sure that is exactly what she is thinking right this minute.

A lot has happened since the last post.

I lost 20 lbs, Elizabeth started daycare, she walked and talked (and hasn't stopped since), and she turned 2 this past week. Oh, did I mention I gained about 5lbs back. But enough about me.

Me and the hubs also started a little business of our own called Charming Carriage.
www.charmingcarriage.com

It has been quite a learning experience starting a small business. We have so many ideas and little time to work on them. Our full-time jobs, baby and family take up a lot of our time. But with a little hard work, and some To-Do lists, I know we can make it happen eventually.

In the meantime I'll let you go to our website...it's an Etsy site for the moment, but we have plans to have our own site soon and more posts of new handmade baby gear.

Until I post again...which could be minutes from now.
