It's been too long since I've posted here. Walter will be SIX MONTHS OLD! I can't believe it. He is so incredibly sweet and handsome. I've been calling him pretty, but Walt is quick to correct me on that one. Anyway, he's been rolling over both ways now for several weeks and can sit up unassisted, but not for long. He's sweet, did I already say that? I can't stop kissing him. He completes the family and we're wild about him. He's also been sleeping through the night for a few months now. Amazing baby!
Isabella has been taking ballet and tumbling at the Green Hills School of Dance. She is absolutely in LOVE with dance class. She asks me every morning when she wakes up if we're going to dance class. She's crazy about her teacher "Mssss Dowwy" (Mrs. Dolly). So far she twirls in a circle, hops three times and does two summersaults. That's 5 weeks of training, but for a two year old I think it's pretty good.
I think some of the sweetest things Izzy has done lately is learning to say her bed time prayers. Here are some of my recent favorites.
Thank you Jesus for:
Funtimes
Popsicles
Big dog and Lila
Barbie House
Choochoo trains
While taking communion she reached up to the rector with the bread and said, "I want Jesus". Talk about out of the mouth of babes!
One night while tucking her in she was being particularly disobedient and I said, "Izzy, I'm not going to stay in her if you're going to be ugly to me. So, are you going to be a good girl or are you going to be ugly". She looked us square in the eyes, furrowed her brow and shouted, "UGGY"!
Unfortunately, at a young age she has somehow inherited her daddy's struggle with road rage. At anytime a car tries to pass me on the right she will lean forward in her car seat, point at the window and scream, "get back car, get back", the yell at me, "Go Mamma, cars go fast, Go Mamma"! I don't even know how on earth she knows to do this. It's crazy, Walt is a bit passive agressive on this issue, you can see it in his face glancing compulsively at the rear view mirrors and staying just fast enough not to let the person pass, but no pointing, no yelling. How does she know? Our car insurance is strained with one "aspiring race car driver" in the family, we can't have two.
