Isabelle's 2nd Birthday!

We started off the day with a trip to Toys-R-Us

Next, Chick-fil-A for lunch!

After naptime, we spent the afternoon riding kiddie rides at Broadway at the Beach...Isabelle had a blast!

Izzy and Daddy on the car ride, she even put her hands up!

Riding the ferris wheel with Aunt Nikki (Izzy called them buckets)

She rode the carousel about five times, this time was with Uncle Tanner

Opening a few presents with Grandma

What a good girl...she even takes time to read the cards!

As you can see, Isabelle had a jam packed day on her birthday. Isabelle enjoyed all the activities and had a really great time. Since the prior weekend was so busy with Halloween and all, we decided to have her party the next weekend after her birthday (pics and post of her party soon to come!)

I can't believe my baby girl is 2!! She has grown up SOOOO much. She talks a ton these days. She says 3 and 4 word sentences and can pretty much repeat anything you ask her to. She says some of the funniest things and keeps us laughing all the time. She loves to play and be silly, and really loves to play hide and seek. She loves Wonder Pets and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She's also into princesses, balls, crayons, and loves to play with baby dolls. She's opening door knobs now and is into everything! Her tantrums are in full swing, but we try to keep ignoring them and hoping they pass soon! Otherwise, she can be very defiant and strong willed at times. We have been using the time out method and it's been pretty successful.

Isabelle is able to count to 10 and say most of her ABC's. She's starting to recognize the letters and we're working on colors. She loves to sing and dance. Her eating habits are erratic. She'll eat great one day and hardly anything the next, which my pediatrician assures me is normal. She likes to snack a lot though and is still eating a good variety. At her last appointment, she was 34 1/2 inches tall and 23 lbs. 2 oz. She's jumped up to the 50th percentile for height and the 10th for weight, which is more than she's ever been! As always, tiny and petite but very healthy. She remains a pretty good sleeper. She takes an afternoon nap after lunch everyday for about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. She's in bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and up by about 7:30-8:00 in the morning. We're so thankful for our precious Isabelle Faith
