Elizasaurous ---

Eliza has six teeth in now, and has very quickly found other uses for them than just eating food. When Eliza is tired of people holding her hand, she gently places their hand in her mouth... and chomps with all her might! Her favorite target is the back of people's hands. So stealthfully does she move, her victims rarely know they've been targeted until they are struck.

A Hole in the Head ---

...well, ear, actually. Ella Grace got her ears pierced today at her request. We said we wouldn't get them done until she actually asked for it, and today she did. She claims it didn't hurt, and Jannai didn't even know they had done it until they told her Ella was a very brave girl. Of course, we already knew that! :)

Little Miss Attitude ---

Not to be outdone by her older sister, Eliza has been demonstrating some newly acquired attitude of late. No longer a passive observer of the world, Eliza is now freely expressing her displeasure with various situations in a not-at-all bashful manner. She's expressed her happiness from day one, and still does more often than not. But beware of crossing her now! She's given Ella quite a few stern lectures in Eliza-talk, waving her finger in the air to make sure she has our attention. And a word to the wise: don't take anything from her. Like Ella did before, Eliza now shrieks at the top of her lungs should something in her possession be taken from her.

Eliza driving ---

This afternoon Eliza drove for the first time in one of those car/shopping carts you see at the supermarket. She really enjoyed it and helped us shop, as she has been doing for a little while now (the other day she hand selected some clothes she liked). She really got into limes, literally, trying to bite through their skin. When that failed she started throwing them overboard as we were walking down the isle.
