Well, it's certainly been awhile since I have updated the good ol' blog! What is it about summer that makes life seem so much more busy?
Throughout everything that's been going on, Izzy has not stopped learning and growing! On the contrary, she seems to take new events and situations in stride and take something away from each one.
Here are a few of the things that she's been up to these days (I'm sure I won't be able to catch everything):
- Making 'fish lips' is all the rage
- Shoes are still a big favorite
- So is putting lots of things on her head
- Along with shoes, she's starting to like to 'dress up' a little...I'm sure this will be a favorite for quite awhile if any of the other little girls I know are any indication
- She loves to rumble and wrestle around...if you can hang her upside down somewhere in the middle, it's a BIG plus....(am I going to finally get a buddy for riding those carnival rides???)
- Isabelle will try to help you with whatever you're doing, whether you want her to or not....she's convinced you NEED her help!
- She's become quite the mimic. Not in speech just yet, but in action, expression, and tone. Thaaaat's right, it's time to start watching what we say NOW and get into the habit early!
- She's still a climber
- She LOVES to be outside
- She LOVES to 'play' with Magnum...he puts up with it graciously. (He has the patience of a saint...especially when she's using him as a step stool...)
- Isabelle loves to eat with a fork and drink through a straw. If she can hold whatever container the straw is in...all the better.
- The newest thing is taking a walk. This doesn't sound like much until you know one little thing....Izzy is walking along the sidewalk too! Yesterday we made it half way up the block before she decided it was time to turn around. Sure, the pace was much slower than Mags or I are used to on a walk, but that's not the point. We had to instruct her on the rules of the sidewalk, like to not go into the street or start climbing in other people's yards....but for the most part, it was a good little trek! By the time we got back in front of our neighbor's house, it was time for her to beg for a 'taxi ride.' At least we were just next door!
Peek with the basket was one of her favorite games a couple of weeks ago. This has since subsided.
Izzy loves to climb on the mower if she's allowed. Even better is if Dad is mowing the lawn, she loves to ride with him. In fact, if she sees him on it without her, she will rather loudly complain and look at me as if to say "Why didn't he take ME???" Dan, however, is only too happy to oblige when he can...he loves to have a little buddy helper too....especially now that she's a bit older and easier to understand. Seeing them having fun on the mower together melts my heart. Silly? Maybe, but I love to see them bond.
Two words....Diaper Ninja.
Boxes are SO much fun! They can be used for so many things!
Isabelle enjoyed her first museum experience...we went to the Harley museum the last weekend in May just for the heck of it. It wasn't crowded that morning and we let her roam a little. Among her favorites were the arena racers and a manual crank display illustrating the 4 parts of the combustion cycle with LED's....a possible engine or bike lover? Time will tell.
This bike was almost juuuuust right
