Little Loves: The Big 5!

Today we are celebrating 5 months of Lizzie's wonderful life. She is such a blessing to Aaron and me. We just can't get enough of her. We love watching her grow and change each day. She has learned to roll from her back to her front and is starting to enjoy her tummy more than before. Now she is trying to roll over to her back but gets frustrated easily with that. Mommy and Lizzie spend a lot of time together on the floor practicing these small things. She loves to stand up holding our hands and gets this proud/excited look on her face whenever we help her to. She will reach out and grab our faces and pull us in close until she can slime us with her adorable kisses. I don't think she realizes she is giving kisses but that is what I am calling it :) She is very content and observant. We get together with some neighbors in a play group and she will sit on my lap for an hour just watching the older kids run around her. She is fascinated with passing cars when we go on walks. She loves to track anything moving around her. Lizzie loves the bathtub and recently learned that kicking her legs will splash the water around- now she won't stop! She is so funny when she decides to talk (which isn't very often). She will watch your face and then squeal. If you repeat the sound back to her she will do it again with small differences. We try to match her sounds each time and she loves it! She laughs with her Daddy when he plays peek-a-boo or when doing the "washing machine" with Grandpa Jaynes. She loves to watch their dog Patrick run after any object. She will laugh when he takes off after the ball and just makes the sweetest sounds. Lizzie is the highlight of our life and brings us so much joy. With Thanksgiving coming up, I am focusing on all the things I am grateful for. Aaron and Lizzie are my number one blessing. I love our little family and I love that we will be together forever. I love the power of the Priesthood that has made this possible. Here are a few pictures from our ballerina photo shoot this last week and hanging out with Grandma Harman. I hope you enjoy!!! Love you all!
