Imitation is the highest form of flattery

Elizabeth loves to do anything that is "just like Mommy." We shamelessly use this to our advantage to encourage her to do things we want her to as much as we can. However, here are some things she's managed to pick up on her own:

One day, while playing, she decided to build the highest tower possible. David even had to help keep it from falling at the end.



I think we have a little civil engineer in the making!

Elizabeth also remains fascinated with Mommy's bras. Most days, she ends up looking down my shirt, just to make sure I'm wearing a bra, and to see what color it is. And, whenever she finds one in the clean laundry basket, she has to immediately try it on:



She's also becoming a great little tennis fan. She loves going to watch Mommy and Daddy play tennis (especially when it means going to the park and sneaking away to the playground). She even happily yells, "Go Mommy" and "Good shot, Mommy!" - regardless of whether Mommy or Daddy is playing. :) Here are some pictures of her new tennis outfit that Granny Pat gave her for her birthday:





She's already asking for her own racquet, so I'm sure it won't be long before David has her out on the court!

Well, you could start her out with Wii tennis---and I bet her brother would love playing it with her!

And if she's like the rest of us, she'll need her own bra pretty soon!

Come on, we know she probably fishes out your dirty laundry, too! Brooke also is fascinated with looking down my shirt and cramming her hands down there. The girls have similar interests!

wow. she's building a tower the hard way...with non-lego-like blocks. it's much easier if they stick together. she gets props for using regular blocks.

can't wait to see y'all next week!

We keep the dirty laundry locked in David's closet - otherwise she definitely would go for that too! And, those are cheap imitations of Lego blocks (aka the best blocks you can buy for $2 at a garage sale), so they did stick together (somewhat).

Just think of all of the ways that must have made Dad think we would grow up to be lawyers!
