Isabella is getting too big too fast.

Isabella really is growing up too fast. All of a sudden she jumped up to a 3T size. At the doctor yesterday, I found out that she shot up about 4 inches since her last appointment, which I think was in January. Speaking of the doctors appointment, Isabella has a mild case of croup and an ear infection. That meant at least one sleepless night for Mommy. At least last night was a little better. Her fever finally broke this morning and she's been playing all day.

She's talking so much more. She uses short sentences at times (usually only 2 or 3 words). She very clear when she is saying something specific. She loves to point out her seat and wherever anyone else is sitting. She likes to watch for Daddy through the window and when she sees him, she gives him kisses through the window. She loves to play outside. Sometimes we have to bribe her to get her to come inside. She loves to give the baby kisses and hugs and to say Hi to the baby....which means that she's kissing and hugging Mommy's tummy and waving hi at Mommy's tummy. Its really cute.

I just had to prove how big she's getting so here's some random pictures and videos.

She usually yells Hi and Bye at everyone, but she was being a little shy here for some reason.

I'm not sure, she was playing with her soccer goal and Ken took this picture.



My little model. I thought it was funny when she cocked her leg and stood there posing. Then she had to run over and make sure I knew that she was saying "cheese."



Playing outside with Daddy



This is the nightly ritual for Isabella and Ken. She goes and gets her pacifier (or two) out of the drawer and Ken tries to get it. Then Isabella gives it to Ken, who puts it back in the drawer and we start all over again.



Ken was playing with her on our bed. She loves to be thrown onto the bed or the couch or whatever.
