What a fun age (almost) 2 1/2 is! I feel like turning 2 was a shock to the system. The term terrible twos was no joke some days! But, finally we are settling into something a little bit more palatable, and it is fun : ) Isabella is one smart, funny, sweet and sensitive little lady, and we are grateful to call her Mama & Daddy!
Happy 29 Months Isabella Rae!
29 Month Highlights:
-We went to BJ Reece apple orchard again this year, and you pretty much consumed your weight in apples again! You loved it there, and we had a great time, filling our bags with yummy apples, going on the Cow Train ride, taking the hayride, and just spending time with family!
-We had a blast celebrating Halloween this year! You loved dressing up (several times!), going Trek or Treating (you were a lady bug!), and passing out Halloween Candy (as a princess, of course!). We also carved a pumpkin which you found equally gross and super cool! I love that we can share the excitement of holidays that Daddy and I have loved together for so long!
-We took advantage of quite a few (AKA most!) 80+ degree sunny fall days! We went to parks, played soccer, had picnics, and just enjoyed being outside. Too bad Mama could never keep up with the weather....we always dressed for the chilly weather in the morning, and by noon we were all sweating! Can't complain...gorgeous GA weather!

-You ran your second 5K and loved it : ) Actually, Mimi, Pops, Tia, Uncle G, Mama, Daddy and Nick & Christine Lefler all ran the Lanier Under the Lights 5K which was a blast! You loved being pushed in the stroller by Mimi and Pops, looking at all the people dressed in Christmas garb, and of course all the Christmas lights! And for some reason you sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" the entire time.
-We celebrated Dani Leigh turning 2 (how did that happen so fast!?) which was fun. We had BurriTWOs, chips & guac, and just enjoyed an evening celebrating Dani!
Sleeping: You don't love sleep like you used to, but overall you are still a good sleeper. Bedtime is 7:30 (although we take you up by 7 b/c it's a good 30 minute ordeal), and you wake up around 6:30 am. We are working on getting you to play with toys quietly in your room til one of us comes and gets you, but inevitably, you come play with blocks in our room while singing, you open Aubrey's door to "play" (AKA wake her up!), or you just sing and dance in the hallway, lining up all your stuffed animals. Either way, it means a whole lotta waking up for the rest of us earlier than we'd like. Nap is still around 1 and you sleep for 2-3 hours.

Eating: You are a great eater, although more of a solid 3 meals a day rather than 3 meals and some snacks. You still love your oatmeal with fruit in the morning, and while I try to get creative with lunches, there are staples that just seem to be on repeat. We try to feed you whatever we are eating for dinner, and sometimes you gobble it up, other times, we end up heating up a few GF nuggets for you. Just depends on your mood.
Favorite foods this month: fruit all day, any day!, squeezies, hummus, chips and guacamole, cheese, cherry tomatoes, & black olives. Also, you LOVE coconut water and sparkling water (which, yes, still comes out as "F**ky water b/c you cannot say the "sp" sound!).
