Here are some of the things you are doing at the age of 2
You are almost always happy, your smile truely lights up a room and everyone around you. You love to smile at people when we are out, although you can be a little shy at first if someone new is talking to you.
Speaking of talking, you have recently discovered the power of your language and have been using it more and more. You say new words everyday and now are putting two and three words together. I think one of my favorite things to hear you say is "Bye Bye Daddy" when he leaves for work. It just melts my heart to hear you say that with your sweet little voice.
You know all of your colors and you often point to things on your own to tell us what color something is. By far I would say blue is your favorite to say/look at followed second by pink. You are also learning your shapes and know/say/identify circle, triangle, heart and star. You are very good at sorting them in the various shape sorting toys we have.
You love to color especially on the new chalkboard grandma and grandpa made/gave you for your bday. You draw lines and circles and love it when mommy draws a smiley face and you always request that I add hair.
You love Dora and Deigo and would probably watch them all day if I let you. You love playing with your "guys" , your various dora and deigo figurines. It is so much fun to watch you make the animal sounds that dora/deigo ask you too when they are asking for help in the episodes. I think your favorite dora is the mermaid dora which you LOVE and we watch several times a week.
You are very good at feeding yourself with a spoon or fork (when you want to) and you are still a fairly good eater. You have definately gotten picker the last few months. Some of your favorites are macoroni and cottage cheese, by far your favorite meal, pizza,scrambled eggs and sausage are also favorites. You LOVE fruit snacks along wiht most fruit especially blueberries and apples. You like peas most of the time and also green beans. You like to say broccolli but most time you don't really eat it. You also like most meat, pork tenderloin, chicken and hotdogs are your favorite. We just moved out officiallyof your big high chair and into the booster at the table with us. Most nights at dinner you don't feel like eating we have to negotiate with you and tell you if you eat 2 more bites you can have a treat of whatever and you almost always take the bites with no complaint
You love to read your books and most of the time when mommy or daddy read to you. Just recently you started a new trend at bed time, you want to read books on the floor before getting back in the rocking chair for a last book and a snuggle. You started this with daddy teh other night and now request it every night.
We haven't had your dr appt yet but we think you weight about 27-28 pounds. You are wearing 24 month and 2 T clothes and have been growing a lot lately. You take one nap a day anywhere from 1 1/2-2 hrs. You go to bed between 7 and 7:30 and wake up between 7 and 7:30 most mornings. When you wake up you are content to just hang out in your crib until one of us comes to get you. Sometimes to entertain yourself you unzip your pajamas. You are very good with zippers and you like to take off your coat by yourself when we come in from outside. You unzip it all by yourself and pull it off.
You have used the potty once but other than that have no use for it. When you have to poop you will go squat in the corner and do your business and I ask if you want to use the potty you say NO. You don't like us to look at you either while you are pooping, you want us to look away. I hope soon you will be into using the potty because I am tired of changing so many diapers :)...not to mention your recent mini tantrums when it is changing time and you don't want to be changed.
You fill our lives with such joy, we love you so much Izzy!

She is so cute!
And great job with her shapes and colors!
I am really excited to be able to start working on that stuff with Josie. The lady she stays with while I'm working doesn't teach any of that stuff.
Now I'm excited for Josie's party!
Love this post and man, those pictures are so great!
Again, I know we say it all the time, but they all advance at such different stages. T still isn't sure about colors, and I even wonder if she might be color blind! I asked her what color her dad's eyes were, and she said "red! Thought that was funny :) And she hasn't even begun to recognize shapes. She always gets made and frustrated with her toy sorter and then throws the shapes.
On the pooping front, I think you've pretty much described T! No looking, and she has to be off on her own steadying herself against a chair or a table. If I ask her if she wants to use the potty, she says "No!" too.
Still, just imagine where we were all at 2 years ago. Time flies and these kids grow up way too fast!
Thanks for the shout out at the end Alana!
