Little Eliza continues to shine with her uniquely different personality. She's not like me but also not like Michael. She is her own person with her own agenda (which she oversees in a sneaky but adorable way). Eliza continues to be obsessed with yellow. She really can't get enough of anything yellow. She also loves to color especially with colored pencils, and she is extremely good a staying in the lines for her age.

Here's Eliza's silly half-smirk she pulls in lots of pictures. 

Eliza has really blossomed this year and has learned to play and interact without Hazel around. She has formed her first true friendships. She has her little playmates from the YMCA (which she just calls the YM) and her best friend Abraham from our ward. She tells me she loves Abraham, and we had to have a talk with her about not kissing boys haha.

Eliza has become a great big sister to Lenora. She helps her out and teaches her simple things. Lenora woke up from her nap today asking for Eliza and not mommy because they're just that close. She is also very excited about her baby brother. She likes to get close to my tummy and talk to him. Each night before bed she blows me a kiss and I blow one to her which she then "rubs in" to her lips. She also still likes to ask Daddy to stroke her nose when she's tired (he used to do this when she was a baby to put her to sleep).
