Happy 16 Months Old...'Sweet Isabella' My have you have grown and each day you seem to learn to say or do something new. She will now say 'eat' when she signs, she is beginning to nod 'yes', says 'beep' when I set the alarm in the house, trys to say 'button' when she pushes the garage door remote. And loves books...seems all she pretty much wants to play with these days are 'books'. What a wonderful thing? And I did find something that she doesn't like to eat, raisins.
So Bella has a new nickname at school----everyone calls her 'Belly Boo'. And I am Bella Boo's Mom. This week they have been doing something different each day. Monday was 'Hat Day', Tuesday was 'Tacky Day', Wednesday was 'Inside Out' Day, Thursday was 'Weird Hair Day' and tomorrow will be 'PJ' Day. We have all had such fun this week...kinda reliving our youth a bit.
We tackled what I felt was a big obstacle, 2 weeks ago today. Bella has been off all bottles..except for that 'before bed bottle' since June. Well....2 weeks ago today, Bella went cold turkey....no more bottles!!!! She takes her bath, brushes her teeth (she has 12 now), we read some books, she gives me a big old bear hug, she flips the light switch off and she goes 'nite-nite'. The first few nights, was she happy about this change, not. But, wow, what a difference 2 weeks makes. She is in her bed by 730 pm and sleeps till I wake her the next morning about 630 am.

I thought Isabelle liked raisins (microwaved in oatmeal), but then discovered at diaper changing time that she didn't chew any of them...
We won't be doing that again anytime soon! Glad the nighttime routine is working...now, just to make sure Keith cooperates!
