1 More Reason My Daughter is the Real Baby Einstein: My daughter is a baby Einstein. Really. In the morning after I change her diaper I know to expect within the next 30 minutes that she will go poo poo. I can usually smell it. So I say, "Isabella go poo poo?" and I make the sign language sign for potty. Usually, she will come up to me and turn around so I can check her diaper, or if she is feeling spunky she will start to run away. Yesterday morning she had a BIG poo poo. I laid her down … [Read more...]
I think she may be a genius people!
Isabella has done some great things today, which leads me to believe she just might be a genius. Or maybe I should call this blog entry - mini me. ha ha ha.This morning before the shower, I turned some music on the iPod docking station and started flitting around the room, swan jumps, twirls and spins. Isabella really got a kick out of that, so she started doing it too. Now, she just started to spin multiple times in a row this week. So I knew she would really like to copy mommy. She can spin … [Read more...]
Tantrums and Screaming
Well, we have begun the phase of screaming and tantrums. Isabella has started screaming for items that she wants, and when she does not get them she will throw her head back and cry. She has hit her head a few times now and then that makes her cry more. I don't know how to get her to stop. So this week's email from parenting.com talked about this exact thing! I was happy to see that my 13 month old is not the only one behaving this way. But it is still hard to deal with. There is an article … [Read more...]
That seems like too much blood!
Well Isabella had her first "big" accident. I feel so terrible because I let her have the water bottle. She loves her daddy's water bottle. It has a straw which she loves to bite on. On Friday night he came home with an empty water bottle from vespers at Weimar Chapel. I let her have it, we always let her have it. But as she chased her daddy to the bathroom, she tripped, and the fell directly on the water bottle. The plastic straw scraped from her front teeth all the way up to that piece of … [Read more...]
Obama, Obama, Obama
I was looking at the Sunday paper this morning and on the cover of the Parade Magazine insert was a picture of President Elect Obama. I showed Isabella the picture and I said, "this is president Obama, can you say Obama?" Then I continued to point at the picture saying, "Obama". So out of her mouth came "mama", which I said, "no, it is Obama", stressing the "O" sound. So she said, as clear as day, much to the delight of daddy, "Obama". My parents and sister are in D.C. today, they will get to be … [Read more...]
My Little Maid
Isabella is starting to want to help clean. She has been obsessed with the dishwasher for over a month now but usually she is trying to take things out instead of load it. She also loves when I do laundry. When I throw things in the dryer from the washing machine I purposely put socks or her clothes on the door of the dryer so she can throw them in too. She loves it. Now if I can just get her to stop unfolding the laundry when it is done.This week I caught her trying to clean her toy. She had my … [Read more...]
Sunshine State
This is why people live in California. It was 70 degrees today here in Colfax. I wore a new pair of shorts (bought them at the after season sale at Macy's for only $4.79. Check out their sales this week; they are having an extra 40% off clearance)! Isabella loves the park in Meadow Vista. There is a swing, which she loves and slides. Steps she can crawl on are very popular right now. After writing her top 10 I realized there are more things I wanted to add to the list, so … [Read more...]
