Isobel is 20 mo old






Since last I posted Isobel has turned 20 months old. She's learning so much every day. Her vocabulary is growing so quickly I can't even keep up. We are still working on the potty training - some days are better than others. But we have faith that it won't be too much longer. She has this thing about wearing her panties over her diaper. And not just one pair, but two. She likes one Elmo pair and one Winnie the Pooh pair. Don't know why, but she does. And she likes to help clean. She's so happy to push the Swiffer around and even tries to help me vacuum. Definitely hope that's a habit she keeps as she gets older. She still has a thing about wearing Mommy's shoes - no matter how high the heels are. Here is a video of her most recent fun activity - spinning. But she is definitely in the "terrible twos" temper tantrum phase. She is constantly testing her boundaries and trying to find some control. But she is just like her Mommy when it comes to food - if she doesn't eat she's a bear. Here she is playing with her ladybug tent that Nana and PawPaw got her. It took her a little while to get used to it, but once she did, she loved it. I look forward to when we can actually use it in the backyard (there's a 3 month window when it's not too hot or cold). Hopefully she'll enjoy it so we can plan other camping trips.
We haven't made much progress on the house. Several other problems that need fixing have come up and taken priority. But we all still love the house and look forward to having it completed.
A couple weeks ago Tim and PawPaw went to see Grandpa Bob on Isla Muejeres and went fishing. Didn't catch any sail fish but they had a good time on the water. We need to get Isobel her passport so we can all go next time.
