Duckie

Isabelle has so many words now I am amazed almost everyday. Yesterday in the car we were listening to a Sesame Street CD (as usual) and Isabelle has taken to naming the character that sings the song so that I switch to the song that she wants. However there are like 10 Elmo and 10 Ernie songs. (Her two favorite characters) so I have to switch between all of these songs when she says the first name until I get to the correct song. I know which song she wants by her high pitched giggle and laugh when we get to the right song however yesterday I was having trouble with which Ernie song she wanted and this is how the conversation went.

"Is this the right song Isabelle?"

"No, Ernie ducky"

"OH, you want Rubber Ducky?"

"YEAH!"



When did my child get so smart, and so many words so fast?

Also we had sloppy joes for dinner last night (Thank you mother-in law for wonderful leftovers!) and the way she says "loopy jo" cracks me up.

Luv you

This little girl said "luv you" today. She made my mothers day complete! Not only was she PERFECT in church but she also said "luv you". There is nothing else that will melt your heart like your child saying "luv you".

This week has been wonderfully hectic with the start of a brand new schedule with my new job. We leave the house a little earlier in the morning but not much, which is great! We are home at the same time and I am loving the new job. Now I just have to fit in a work out and cleaning the house into the schedule. However it's so hard when you have a little pumpkin walking around.

I got the pumpkin costume at a garage sale on Friday. I was going to pack it away but apparently miss Isabelle has other plans. She put it on with her new sunglasses and we just about died laughing at her. This week has also come with a myriad of new words not only "luv you" but e-mail, red, ball and bowl. All her words are becoming more clear and succinct. She also said her first sentence on Saturday morning. She found her baby doll under and blanket and said "It's a baby." I again was in shock. How can this little child be speaking in sentences already.

Obviously I'm a little sentimental today being mothers day and all but there is no feeling like watching your child grow.
