Elizabeth will come up with some surprising words, here are a few:

After telling her she can’t eat her birthday cake until the following day, Elizabeth tried to trick me into putting her up on the counter next to the cake so she could stick her fingers in the frosting. She said “I want to see the cake by myself!”

“Oh Yeah!” As in, “Oh yeah, I see it too!” I never knew how often I say this until I heard her saying it with the exact same inflection. It’s so funny to hear her sound so grown-up.

As if being called Uncle Foof isn’t silly enough, Elizabeth started calling him “Uncle Doof.” Strange that she can get the F at the end of the word, but not at the beginning. Coincidentally, Foof came about because Christopher called himself Foofer when he was Elizabeth’s age.

“Finley, don’t lick my bottom!” What can I say. He’s a dog and any naked bottom within reach is likely to be sniffed or licked. Usually the cats are the only ones subjected to this.

“I two!” She’ll say this to anyone within a 4 foot radius of our shopping cart. The thing is, she can’t figure out how to put up two fingers yet, so she thrusts two open hands at people. People are definitely puzzled by this behavior.

“Remember when I came out of Mommie’s vagina?”
