18 month milestones:- You are a regular at Nursery!! I nearly wept when they presented me with your first Church art project. It was monumental. It hung our wall for three weeks.
- Learning to count (you are really good at saying the word "two")
- Coloring on the wall and then finding Mom to tell me, "Uh-oh!" while pointing to your wall scribbles! You tattle on yourself ALL day long.
- You play well with other children... however, you has no problem "defending" your territory if a toy is taken away by a play-mate. We're learning to keep our arms and legs to ourselves
- At each meal, you are the first to fold your arms to remind us it's time to pray
- Bed time routine consists of reading stories in daddy's lap, singing with Mom, saying prayers, kisses goodnight, followed by "high-fives" from the crib
- You LOVE to brush your teeth. On average, we brush your teeth three times a day.
- You've mastered climbing furniture.
- I wish you'd stop drinking your bath tub water.
- You enjoy dipping your finger in the snow, placing it in your mouth, smacking your lips in satisfaction and saying, "Ah!"
-Mom is seriously contemplating potty training. You think the bathroom process is fascinating and clap your hands when I let you throw your own piece of toilet paper into the toilet and then let you flush it away.
And our personal favorite:- You place your face right in front of mine and yell as loud as you can, "MAMAS????" and then proceed to calmly babble about whatever it is that's on your mind.
Eliza, your mama loves you. Walking into the grocery store yesterday, I felt overwhelming gratitude that you are ours. I think you sparkle. Even when you have a cold. I apologize in advance if posts such as these embarrass you when you're older.

How cute! I love the last one about her yelling "MAMAS". It's funny how they add "s" to things. She is so cute! Isn't it incredible how your love grows when you have a child and then keeps growing as they get older?
What a cute post and what a cute little girl you have!
So adorable. I love how she tattles on herself!
She's so cute, and what a great mom she has. Can you believe your going to have another in a few months?
She really does sparkle! Everyone who knows her can't help but love her...just like her parents!
I love that age. She is so sweet. As far as potty training... go for it. Brooklyn will be two on March 1 and she sits all the time. Anna was potty trained right at 2. You can do it!
this made me tear up- being a mom is so much fun- she is beautiful!
18 months already?? She gets more beautiful every picture I see. And I love the babbling. That is my favorite.
What a sweet girl!! I know what you mean about the bath water. Emma loves to drink it too, even if I offer her a drink of real water from a cup. Crazy!
I had a blast seeing Eliza for the short time I was in Salt Lake last week. She is a beautiful little girl. I love how she tattles on herself. She's got a sweet spirit. Have you read the children's book "Someday"? If you don't have it, be sure to add it to your Christmas wish list for Andrew (he can get it at Target). You'll love it.
