Our Christmas Tree

Tea Party

Eliza got a princess tea set for her birthday and ever since she got it Ty was begging me to get it out so we could have a tea party. So before school one day we got it out and had a quick tea party.

Eliza is Two Years Old

A little bit about our sweet Eliza:
-Weight-20 lbs (1%)
-Height-32 in (7%)
-Loves mac and cheese, noodles, spaghetti, cheese, chicken nuggets, fries, grilled cheese sandwhiches, quesadillas, rice, crackers, craisins, apples, chips, milk, juice ect... (she is still pretty picky but getting better)
-She loves her baby dolls and has to sleep with them at nap time and bed time.
-She takes a 2-3 hour nap during the day and goes to bed at 8 pm and wakes up between 7:30-8.
-Really likes to play with her kitchen
-Loves, loves, loves her blankie
-Loves shoes(and is very particular about which ones she wears), purses...anything girly
-Loves books and reads to herself all the time.
-Anytime music comes on you can find her dancing...she loves music.

-Still doesn't talk a lot but says peek-a-boo, mama, dada, thank-you, Tyson, I love you, night-night, purple, blue, uh-oh (those are the main ones I can think of)

-She growls for every animal

-She enjoys nursery
-Loves to brush her teeth
-She is sassy and if she doesn't get her way plug your ears and watch out-she will scream and throw herself about.
-She can hold her own...especially Tyson and knows exactly how to push his buttons. She loves Ty and hates when he is gone...or when we drop him off to school.
-Has the sweetest little personality and the cutest smile.
