Happy 27 Months Isabella Rae!
27 Month Highlights:
-This month we had a couple visitors (right on the tail end of the Anderson's visiting last month) and you just love the company! Aunt Laurie ("LoLo") stayed with us for a week and you loved every minute of it! She loved playing with you in the playroom, reading books, and even going to library time with us.
-Despite it being so hot out this month, we played quite a bit in the front yard/driveway in the mornings when it was still shaded. You love running around, being pushed in your car, bubbles, and probably your favorite- chalk!

-Your speech continues to blossom, and you are putting 3-5 words together to form sentences that actually make sense! There are still times during the day when I ask you to repeat yourself several times to figure out what you are saying, but for the most part you are very clear and speak well (or at least well enough for me to interpret!). And of course there are the endearing terms you use that remind me you are still my little girl and not a full blown teenager just yet, like "Soshee" (downstairs), "PeBop" (clean up, although you only say this about half the time), "Loshee" (lotion), "Bafin" and "Snuggle wuggle wuggle" (bath & snuggles), & our personal favorite: "F**ky water" (yup, still calling sparkling water the 'ole "f" word! In all fairness, any word that starts with "SP" gets replaced with an F, but "Foon" for spoon, and "fring" for spring just aren't quite as funny).
-We went out to dinner for Tia's birthday and you just amaze me at how well you do, sitting at a big table, being calm, and just eating with the adults! This isn't to say you don't have your moments, but I never think twice about taking you places because you really do so well!
-You absolutely love music and started "playing" the piano this month which just means pushing various keys and singing songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, You are My Sunshine, or The Wheels on the Bus. I can't wait for Mimi to teach you lessons in a couple years!
-We went to the park this month (like twice, b/c seriously it was HOT this summer!) but every time we go you love it! Your favorite is the "schides" although Dani could swing ALL day long, so you like to swing next to her for a couple minutes. It's fun watching you two grow up and get to liking each other more : )
-As you have demanded independence this month, this holds especially true in picking out your outfit for the day! Long ago are the days where I could open your closet and pick out something cute (and appropriate for what we would be doing that day), with a bow to match. Now, you say "Baba pick it" and who knows what combinations will come out that day! Last week we were going to run a few errands and you picked out a fancy 90's looking floral dress, a lime green bow, and a pair of Fievell shoes that were Mama's when she was your age!
-For some reason this month you have started to sleep on the floor! We have found you on multiple occasions sleeping right in front of you door, and several times on the floor just next to your bed. I have no idea why you do this (or how you think it's comfortable), but in the mornings you say "Baba sleep on floor" so you obviously know that you do it!
-For the record, you still call yourself Baba when people ask what your name is, but you do know that your full name is Isabella Rae "Yerma" which is so cute to hear you say the entire thing! You also say "Bella" when we are singing songs that we insert your name into. You also learned mama and daddy's first names this month, and say Aubrey Lynn Yerma, and Dani Vega (which sometimes comes out as "Dani Yerma, no Dani Vega").
-We also took a road trip down to Fort Walton Beach, FL (technically Okaloosa Island) for a 2 week stay on the beach! While I wouldn't necessarily call it a "vacation" for Daddy and I, you truly had a blast. I will write a separate vaca post!

Sleeping: You are still a great sleeper, and definitely need your sleep! Bedtime is 7:30 and you sleep most mornings til about 6:30 or 7. You play in your room quietly with the box of toys we bring in after you go to sleep (so there is something "new" and exciting to look forward to) until we come get you, usually around 7:30 or so. You love your nap and if we have a very active morning, you sleep for 3 hours (from 1 til 4), and if it's a more low key morning you usually sleep about 2 hours (1 til 3).
Eating: You still love to eat, and this month you want to do it all yourself. For the most part, you do a great job eating with a spoon or fork, even with your oatmeal, yogurt or rice and beans (which even I drop off my spoon sometimes!). Favorite foods: cheese, any and all fruit, squeezies, frozen corn, black olives, noodles with butter and parm, and yogurt. You still eat oatmeal with a small dollop of fruit preserves most mornings, and on the weekends you like "wahkies" (waffles) or scrambled eggs with cheese.
