Spring has sprung!

The weather has been beautiful recently so we got started on some outdoor projects.  Of course, Isabella was very helpful.

We have a tree! A Magnolia tree!

During Isabella's nap Clint planted a few of these guys behind our privacy fence, Colorado Blue Spruce.  We'll probably be long gone before they're big enough to appreciate, but hopefully future owners will be happy to have them.

2.5 years old!

Just realized I wrote this and never posted it:



Today is Isabella's half-birthday. We celebrated this morning with a new doll.

She's also recently built her first snowman, with Mommy and Daddy's help of course.

Age: 2.5 years old!

Weight: Not sure.  I'd guess around 26lbs?  She's a dainty little thing.

Length: ???

Size: 2T bottoms and 3T tops. Size 7 shoes.

Hair: Long. 

Teeth: She has all her baby teeth.

Sleeping:  Pretty well most night.  Naps have been a little less consistent, but she recently started using a nap mat so we expected a bit of a hiccup.

Eating: She's your average toddler when it comes to eating.  Some days she barely eats, some days she devours everything in sight.  She often requests her favorites: strawberries, mac and cheese, yogurt, and pretzels to name a few.

Movement: She's a climber.  I caught her with one leg over the crib rail recently.  We're getting to work on her big girl room now.

 

Milestones:No longer napping in the crib.  First snowman!

Favorite toys/activities: She's still in love with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Still loves pushing her doll stroller, cars/trucks/plains/trains, playing outside, and music.

Dislikes: Wearing her coat, sharing toys, and broccoli.

 

Words/sounds: More complex phrases and sentences and better use of pronouns.
