I can't keep up with your vocabulary - I suppose at some point I'll have to stop trying! But here are some of your latest (if I repeat what I've already written that means you say it a lot!):
Monny (Mommy)
Dah-ee (Daddy)
All done
Cheese
Peese (please)
Shoes
Ernie
Baby
Bubble
Wassee (washy)
Ba-pa (Grandpa)
Yay
Ashes-ashes
Apple
Doodoo (yeah..)
Go-go
Agua
Nai-nai
On
Off
Up
Ees (it's - as in "ees dah-ee" for "it's Daddy")
Halph (help)
Beep
Pop
Beed (bib)
Ah-tee (aunty)
Unko (uncle)
And probably more that I can remember right now!
You ask for what you want (and you certainly know what you want!) and your body language is more and more like a kid and less and less like a toddler every day. If something is out of place or out of order you are quick to point it out.
It seems like you're also developing certain fears - like it seems like you're becoming afraid of the dark and of unexpected noises. I guess that is a sign of growing up but I hope you're not terrified of the dark like I was when I was a kid (and a teen..and adult..haha!).
You're very mature in certain ways - when you're starting to descend into a tantrum or meltdown I've been trying to teach you to "breathe" and calm yourself down. So far you don't really get it but watching me take deep breaths really seems to calm you down. It's actually kind of amazing.
Also you're more and more spontaneously affectionate - and we love it!
Oh, and you got your first jewelry present from a boy! Yikes! At Mommy and Daddy's vow renewal ceremony, Camdyn gave you a little butterfly necklace. It's so cute on you!
You are such a joy. I love you!
Love,
Mommy
I haven't read this in awile, so just read everything from the past year. It's so much fun going through all the progress she's made. You're a lucky little girl Isabella, to have such a wonderful Mommy and Daddy. They love you so much! Me too!
