Isaiah 26 Months

Happy 26 Months Isaiah Jae!

"Smile Isaiah!" CHEESEEEE

26 Month Highlights:

-We had a family swim day with the Harts. You loved the water!

-Miss Alaina gave you a ride on airplane and you are OBSESSED! You love riding it super fast all around the house!

-You're happy place is being outside, and you love the swingset. You've just climb right up the ladder and go down all the slides by yourself now!

-You also LOVE "playing" the piano! You are truly fascinated, and want to sit at the piano almost daily for a bit. Of course you also love to turn OFF the piano while sister's are practicing, which they don't appreciate at all : )

-Right after you turned 25 months, you wanted to poop on the potty most days. Mama wasn't concerned at all about trying to potty train you at this point, but if you wanted to poop in the potty hallelujah!!

-We had a family day at Poole's Mill Bridge park which had a cool little water fall slide. You mostly liked to wade in the shallow part at the base on the waterfall, but a few times towards the end would slide from about halfway up. We had a picnic lunch afterwards. 

-HUGE new highlight is you all out threw a fit a few days before you were 26 months because you did NOT want to put your diaper on in the morning after you had pooped on the potty. Mama was definitely not prepared for this, so grabbed some of Aub's underwear and we gave it ago. I would be lying if I thought it was going to stick, but you have done SO well!! Way to go buddy!

Sleeping: Still a rock star sleeper! Bedtime is 7:30 and you sleep about 12 hours but happily play in the morning until we get you! Nap is around 1:30 and you sleep about 2 hours most days. Putting you to bed is a TRUE JOY! You get so excited for nap and bedtime, and just love bedtime routine, and actually going to bed! SO grateful for that!

Eating: You are a bigtime snack lover! The pantry may be your favorite room in the house : ) Overall you are a good eater though, so we can't complain. You don't eat many veggies, but can throw down potatoes. Favorite foods these days: granola bites, z-bars, squeezies, cheese sticks, blueberries, strawberries, yogurt cups and yogurt squeezies.

Happy 25 Months Isaiah Jae!

25 Month Highlights:
-New month, new haircut thanks to Daddy! So handsome!

-One of your fav activites...chasing big sister's around the house with push toys 

-Waiting outside in the parking lot before we got called into your 2 year check up

Sleeping: No big changes. Bedtime is still around 7:30, so we go up around 7 for your bedtime routine (change into PJs, medicine, brush teeth, read a book or 2, sing a couple songs and then nighty night). To be honest I don't know what time you wake up, b/c you just play and "read" so well in your crib until we get you which can be anywhere between 8 and 9 am. Nap is around 1:30 and you sleep for about 1.5 to 2.5 hours most days. 

Eating: You LOVE to snack...and eat all the processed foods. You love fruit sticks, annie's fruit snacks, annies cheetoes, Z-Bars, salami, cheese, and cereal. You are a great eater of all fruits, but pretty much NO vegetables! Some days you like chicken and beef, and other days you won't touch it. But you certainly will eat your weight in ketchup that we give you to dip said chicken or beef in : )

Isabella is 6!

How on earth is our oldest 6 already!?! Time really does fly! We enjoy her more and more each year, and it has been a true joy watching her grow and change into the little woman she will become. Maybe not that little, b/c she certainly is growing so much taller!

We weren't going to let Covid-19 put a damper on birthday celebrations for our big girl. Although we couldn't invite all the friends she would have liked, she still had an "AMAZING" birthday party (her words!). We are thankful to be in quarantine with the Leflers and our family, because there is no shortage of girlies to play with : )

We got a big water slide bouncy house and just had a day of outdoor water fun! 

Isabella got a bunch of desk organization and arts and crafts things for her desk, as well as a lot of books (her request!), a Twilight Equestria Girls doll, and a paint by sticker book. She loved it all!

-Birthday morning streamer and balloon tradition!

-Getting a lot of fun desk supplies and art things for your new (to you, because it was Mama's in high school and beyond!) desk in your room! 

-Fun birthday party!
