Sisters

Sisters are wonderful! When Izzie was a mere 7 months old we knew that we wanted her to have a sibling to share her life with. A month later, Ms Liza Ann was on her way. I love having them so close together in age. I will be the first to admit that having 2 only 16 months apart is not always easy. In fact, sometimes, it is very, very hard. But, when I see them playing together, and laughing together, it is all very very worth it!

Izzie is a GREAT big sister. She loves Liza and is very passionate towards her. Whenever she cries, Izzie is the first one to her. "It's otay, Dida." or "Don't cry, Dida." are both phrases that echo in our home every day. Izzie shares with Liza, well, most of the time. She even comes to comfort Liza in her crib if I can't get there right away! She has a very compassionate heart, especially to be 2 1/2.

Liza admires her big sister. She always wants to be involved in whatever Izzie is doing. She has started trying to say her sister's name. It sounds something like "Diddy." Liza picks up quickly on the things Izzie does. I suppose that is another reason to be grateful for having such a well mannered big sister.

Speaking of wonderful sisters, my wonderful sister, Heather, made the girls these matching dresses. "Thanks, Aunt Heather!"
