Isabella - 18 months!

Isabella you are the sweetest little girl! I can't believe you are already 18 months old! It seems like last month that I was watching you in your little baby swing and now you're a running little toddler. It is so fun watching your little personality grow everyday. You are so observant, loving, silly, sentsitive, curious, strong willed, and happy. You were such a good baby and you are turning into a smart, energetic, and good little girl. 

Your big brothers, your daddy, and I love you so much! You have us all wrapped around your little fingers still! I love when you yell daddy or mommy when we walk through the door and you come running up to us. The way you run is the cutest thing I must say. You are also starting to say so many new words and I love hearing you talk. You can shake your head no, and yes, which you do a lot! You can sign please and thank you. You can say bubba, baba, dada, mama, Bella, la la (dolly), night night, snack, juice, and can say many other words we say, only leaving out the first letter :) 

You are a petite little thing after losing all your baby chub, but you're getting tall. You are still such a good sleeper. You love to eat, in fact I think you eat more than your brothers! I love that you'll try anything. You love chocolate like mommy and peanut butter like daddy. You love to twirl and dance when music comes on. You love bath time, your pacifier, your blanky, necklaces, drawing, playing mommy with your dollies, shoes, and books! You love when mommy reads and sings to you before bed. 

You follow your big brothers around everywhere they go, and if they don't include you or are mean to you, you tell me and we make it right. Sometimes you do drive by slapping when your brothers are sitting or laying down, getting them back I presume! 

You are such a people person! You are my social butterfly. You love babies and can spot them a mile away, much like your mommy did when she was your age! You love "talking to people" and if they aren't looking at you, you work hard at getting their attention. You wave at everyone and say hi to anyone we pass by whether it be on a plane or at the grocery store. 

I love dressing you up each day. Your hair is growing and is light brown and straight as a board like daddy's. I love it! Your eyes have changed from blue to a blue/green hazel. You have your dad's big and contagious smile, like your brothers too. 

You love nursery so far at church and had your first day alone without mommy last week, and you did great! 

I love when you get so excited about something and scream! We love you forever princess and look forward to the next six months of fun with you before you turn two!
