20 Months on the 20th

Bella turned 20 months old today. She and Daddy had a little photo shoot. We try to get her to say "cheeeeese" and she says it while she is looking at the pictures, "cheeees-eeee" not real sure why she adds the long "e" sound at the end, but whatever.

In honor of 20 months - 20 Facts about Isabella
1. She enjoys being pantsless........and diaperless. That's right she's a streaker.
2. She has gotten quite the expert at using a fork.
3. Just this morning she said "stupid dog". I have no idea where she could have come up with that.
4. She still doesn't understand "no" and in fact thinks it is the funniest word in any adults vocabulary.
5. She is an expert climber. Like the time we caught her standing on her table. Looking at us and smiling real big. and then she did it again, and again and then Daddy had to hide her chair so she couldn't climb up there anymore. That "no" word didn't work.


6. She is on her 5th night of sleeping without her paci! Bye bye paci.
7. She seems to enjoy Mother's Day Out now. Except naptime. She strongly dislikes that.
8. I asked her the other night if she was ready to go night night and she went straight to her room. She loves her bed now. I love that.
9. She has 12 teeth. She bites real hard with those teeth.
10. She gives Eskimo kisses.


11. She thinks it's funny to try and ride Gabby. I can't tell if Gabby thinks it's funny.
12. She loves to color........on her clothes and walls. The walls at my parent's house. oops.
13. She grins real big when she is in trouble. I think she is trying to manipulate me.
14. When another child or dog has one of "her" toys she says "uh-uh-uh". She obviously understands this better than "no".
15. She is very opinionated.



16. She still loves bathtime. Now she "swims" in the tub and enjoys giving herself a "bubble beard".
17. She is very silly and makes us laugh hard all the time.
18. She enjoys singing into the mic, playing drums, and especially back-up dancing while Terry and I play Band Hero on Wii.
19. She is REALLY cute.
20. She is the funnest, most precious, incredible little girl and I love her all the way to the moon and back!!

(she was OVER the photo shoot and ready for bed)

I love you, Isabella Grace!! You have made our lives 1000 times better in the last 20 months! You are the best baby girl and we couldn't imagine our lives without you.
