What is Bella most excited about for her birthday? CAKE...it is all she talks about when I tell her she is turning 2! Since Bella's birthday is so close to Christmas, every year we plan to do a family birthday on the actual day and then a party with friends after the new year. So Karen, Alli and McKenzie came to spend the day with us. The girls had a great time playing and it was perfectly low key. David had to work but once he got home we opened presents and of course had lots of cake!
It is truly a miracle to me in which the way this little human being can develop and change so much in just two short years. She is now very big into imaginative play and loves having tea parties, "going shopping", and pretending she is all sorts of animals. She still loves to read and will sit for a good 30 minutes at a time with me reading stories (and hence has most of her books memorized and will "read" to me). She is also starting to be really funny and will talk in a silly voice or make up silly words and then say "I'm so funny"! She knows all her colors, can say and identify all the letters of the alphabet (and is starting to say things like "O" is for "octopus"), can count to 20, knows all her shapes, and since there were no more body parts to learn we have taught her most of the medical terms for them! She still cracks us up with the pronunciation of a few quirky works such as "onjen" for "orange", "pinow" for "pillow", and "blankwee" for "blanket".
She continues to amaze us and we fall in love her more each day. Happy Birthday my sweet Isabella Rose.
Never to young too start house work!
