Elizabeth - 5 years!

Elizabeth is 5 years old today!

Here are a few faces from the last month:
Elizabeth's got a lot going on! Here's a list of things about her at 5:
  • lots of talking: explaining, story telling, joke making, question asking, and whining!
  • lots of activity: jumping, running, bike riding, chasing, ball kicking and catching
  • lots of curiosity: how, why, where, when, who?
  • lots of help: table setting, towel folding, bed making, toy organizing, and Brian entertaining
  • lots of independence: dressing herself, playing by herself, solo playdates with friends, getting ready for bed alone, and gettting in and out of the car
She tries new things,
and thinks she's strong!

She loves nature,
especially fluffy dandelions!

She wears herself out,
and sucks her thumb!

She's a wonderful helper,
and (still) takes great delight in it!

She dresses herself,
and comes up with some great combos.


Here is one of her new feats of strength.


Elizabeth is an endless source of delight for our family.

We love you, sweet girl!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
