22 Months Old

 Isabella is 22 months old!  I can't believe her birthday is only two months away!  Mama needs to start her party projects.  Over the weekend I went to price some things out and get some DIY ideas.  I'll be ordering my first party purchases this week.

This post with be photo heavy, but I can't guarantee great quality.  I take what I can get with a 22-month old!

Age: 22 months
Weight: Just under 24lb.
Length: No clue, but she seems taller.

Size:  The 24m clothes that were a little big now fit perfectly; let's hope her feet catch up soon because her size 5 shoes are still too big. 
Hair: Past the shoulders.  She prefers a bow rather than pigtails.

Teeth: Still no molars. 
Sleeping: Sleep has been a little disrupted, but the pediatrician ruled out medical causes.  It could be teething, nightmares, or random toddler behavior. 

Eating:  Hit or miss.  Veggies are almost always refused, as is meat.  I let her have a popsicle last night and she stopped and said, "mmm, good"  at every taste.  She loves milk now and asks for it every morning.

Movement:  One of her favorite things is sitting on my bed while I get ready, and then trying to run, roll, and jump like a maniac.  

Milestones: First trip to the Indy Zoo, first time baking cookies with Mama, first parade

Favorite toys/activities: Eating at her little table, playing ball, being outside, playing in the pool, still obsessed with Mickey Mouse, helping cook, clean and fold laundry (at least she thinks she's helping).  She's getting into more pretend play.

Dislikes: Rain because it means she can't go outside.  She also doesn't like anything "yucky," such as messy hands, bits of paper on the floor, finding yesterday's water cup, etc.

Words/sounds: Speaking in more sentences.  She's also been saying "my mama" and "my daddy."  "Hi my mama!"


Baking peanut butter cookies with Mama.

I love it when she makes this makes this face!  She giggles and covers her mouth.

First ponytail!  Notice the necklaces.  This little fashionista loves her accessories.

 The sharks at the Indy Zoo.  She really wanted to pet, but couldn't reach.  Quite frankly Mama was a little scared she'd be a little over-zealous and lose a finger. 

She loved the penguins.  

At the Columbian Park Zoo; not the same day, but coincidentally the same outfit.  Her "cheese" face does not allow for open eyes, apparently. 

Checking out the goats, that is when she wasn't chasing the chickens are around saying, "bok, bok!"

We always stop to check out the tortoise statue.

My baby bird.

Two pictures with Mama in them?  How can this be?!

Excuse the crazy hair and lack of clothing; this Kodak moment could not be missed.  She was holding one of Audrey's ears and saying, "yee haw!"  Thank goodness Audrey was cooperative.

She saw Daddy vacuuming and had to help.
