Our sweet little girl turned 2 back on September 2! We had a princess birthday party with all her grandmas and grandpas, and great grandmas and grandpa. She was definitely the star of the show and loved every minute of it. Here are a few pictures we took. We love Izzie soooo much and just think she is the cutest girl we know (and her sister Emmy too of course!)!
I also just wanted to make a list of some of Izzie's favorites and the cute things she says:
- CHEESE! Izzie has been in LOVE with cheese for quite a while now. It's what she wants for every meal—anything from string cheese, cheddar cheese, or even cottage cheese. She's been saying "I love you" to Todd and I for some time now, but one day she came up with "I love cheese" all by herself!
- Other favorite foods: Crackers of all sorts, juice, spaghetti, mac & cheese (of course), grapes, strawberries, watermelon, and any TREAT!
- Izzie knows her numbers 1 through 9, the letter "i" (for Izzie of course!), all of her colors, and many shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval, diamond, star, heart, etc.). She has flash cards that have different colors and shapes. So for example, if you ask her where the red triangle or yellow diamond is, she finds them.
- She loves her babies—real and dolls. She burps her baby dolls, rocks them, and puts them "night-night." She also helps mommy and daddy burp her "real" babies. She's a great helper and is always willing to grab us burp cloths, diapers, wipes, etc.
- She also loves animals and can do most any animal sound you ask her to do. Her favorite animals are cats and dogs, but she also really likes horses—especially the ones that live just down the road from our house.
- Izzie also loves anything princess. Her favorite princesses are currently, Belle, "Rella," and Sleeping Beauty (Rose). She also really likes Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine. She knows all the princess "songs" and sings them all the time, as well as requesting mommy and daddy to do so as well. She especially loves singing "A Whole New World" from Aladdin and "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty.
- Izzie also loves Mickey Mouse. She watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse almost every day.
- She loves sleeping in her new big girl bed every night and naptime. She thinks its pretty cool when mommy and daddy can lay next to her and sing her songs. When she wakes up and we go get her, she proudly points to her bed with a big smile as we ask her if she slept good in her bed.
- She also loves sitting in the cute pink chair she got for her birthday (see above) and reading books. She actually loves reading books anywhere. If it gets quiet, I usually find her sitting and reading.
There is so much more we could say about her! We just think she is so funny, cute, and smart, we can hardly stand it! Here are a few more recent cute pictures of her just for fun.
WE LOVE YOU IZZIE BOO!
