Elizabeth at 14

 Elizabeth is 14! She's 112 pounds and is 5'4 5/8" tall. She grew about an inch and a half over the last year. She is now 1/8 inch taller than her Mom! 

She usually goes to sleep around 10:00 and her alarm wakes her at 6:00. I drive her to school around 7:20 and if she rides her bike in warmer weather, she leaves about 7:25. 

Her favorite foods are cheese, yellow rice, chicken, shrimp, salmon, and donuts. 

 She's a 8th grader! She is doing great in middle school still .  Her favorite classes are science and orchestra. Her least favorite class is history. We cannot believe she will be in high school next year. We signed her up for her high school classes at the beginning of March.  We also toured her new school. She knew just about every kid there of course even though 75% of kids at her middle school will go to the other high school! 

She started cross country in the fall. Sadly, the season kind of fell apart due to an ankle sprain while running at her first meet. She did manage to run in 3 meets. She had some issues with shin splints as well. We got her shin splint sleeves which she said did help.  She decided this year to try something new. Basketball!  She learned something new and got to hang out with her friends. She did enjoy it. She is currently in track and is throwing the discuss and doing some running events. 

Her eczema has been much better. She found a cream called CereVe Rough and Bumpy Skin that has really helped. Her eczema is worse in the summer now when she sweats a lot. Her allergies remain the same. Peanuts, sunflower seeds, and some tree nuts. 

 She still likes reading the Tally Series. She doesn't read as much anymore. She spends so much time doing homework. Her goal is to have over 95% in every class. She's managed to keep this goal all year! 

She likes to play War and Monopoly but people don't like to play these games with her (they are so long!) . Her favorite toys are squishmellows and snow. Her favorite color is green. Charlotte is her favorite friend to hang out with. 

She loves wearing earrings and doing cute things to her hair.
