Christmas Morning

RECAP

How did I know to get up early today? I'm never awake at 6:30 a.m.

First, Santa scored with stickers and a feline pillow pet.

And then more presents!

Whoa, Christmas is awesome.

Scribble Trees

Mom got a little crafty for Christmas. Turning this...

Into this!

And now a peek at the artist at work.

Genius

We've always known Isabella was brilliant. But now I've counted the ways. In words.

A vocabulary of 50 words as of noon today. And this is her sweet smile.

Boxes Rock!

Thanks to a recent diaper order from Amazon, Isabella has been blessed with an abundance of boxes. Different sizes and shapes but all amazingly fun.

Until today. I was in the kitchen doing the dishes when I heard some cries over the monitor. This is what I found: a trapped, teary explorer. And of course, I left her there for a minute while I grabbed the camera.

All Of Them

We have a lot of bibs. We don't wear many. Except when we wear ALL of them!

That's 10 bibs, to be exact.

Necklace

Isabella found Maggie the dog's collar lying around. I explained it was Maggie's necklace. So, appropriately, she wore it around her neck for the rest of the afternoon.
