February 2010

Just a random collection of photos to show how the girls are growing. Isabel has reached that fun, but exhausting, stage. She loves the top of the table and "helping" in the kitchen. She will stand on ANYTHING and can not be distracted. Any food on the table or counter is free game. She has also started this thing where if she is mad at me for denying her something she will do 1 of 2 things, or sometimes even both. One is cover her eyes like she can't see me to show she is ignoring me, the other is throw herself down on the ground, no matter where we are, and refuse to get up. She doesn't scream or cry, just refuses to move and ignores me. She did this while we were hiking because I wouldn't let her keep playing in the mud puddle.
Her laugh is contagious though and she is so smart. The other day I had removed the step-stool from the kitchen so she went into the bedroom and got the stool and carried/pushed it all by herself to the kitchen. A little later Avery was using the stool so she went and got the tiny chair and carried that in. She has this wonderful way of laying her head on your shoulder and cuddling with you.






She loves to climb!
