Looking at pictures over the past year, I'm amazed by how far little Eliza has come. She has grown from a tiny baby into a tiny toddler. At her one year appointment she weighed in at an itty-bitty 15 lbs 8 oz and is 28 3/4 inches tall. She's only about the size of a 6 month old but she's walking about like a pro and climbing all over everything. It's actually a bit creepy seeing someone so small walking around haha. The doctors aren't worried a bit though saying she's just petite and probably always will be. She is also starting to talk and sign, and showing more of her personality every day. None of these pictures show it very well, but she has strawberry blond hair and spit-fire personality to match. While she is still very much a tender heart, she is also showing us that she knows what she wants and she has the determination to get it!
I also love looking back at these pictures and seeing how far she has come health-wise. You can literally see her back and neck getting straighter as you see her age. We're so thankful her scoliosis was able to correct itself and now you would never guess she ever had it!
Here's a short list of Eliza's likes/dislikes to sum up our sweetie at one.
Likes: Ellie (lovey), stinking fingers in people's mouths, open fridge/dishwasher, books (she LOVES books!), climbing on chairs, peek-a-boo, bananas, the opening song to Baby Signing Time, straws, forks (she will not eat without one any more), pulling things out of boxes/cupboards/etc, Mommy, Daddy, Hazel, singing, and walking!
Dislikes: being told no, having any of the above likes taken away from her, being crushed by Hazel, her iron supplement, falling down, and sleeping without Ellie (this would be a hate, not a dislike).
Words: Ellie (eh-eee), Dada, Mama, all done (ah duh), hi
Signs: Dad, Mom, more, all done, milk, baby, cracker
We love you Eliza!
