21 Months

She is 21 months old today. She gained another half inch over last month and is still in the 95th percentile. I took these pictures after she finished eating a piece of her valentine chocolate.

Ooooooh!

We went to the library for storytime this morning. The local library has a new children's librarian, so it was neat to see how she did storytime. She did a lot more singing, which I thought was good for this age group. They need more active interaction rather than just sitting there listening to stories. Isabel was so excited for them to have the puppets come out at the end. She was squealing with delight and yelling "puppa, puppa, puppa!" over and over. She was so excited that there wasn't a person who couldn't help notice and see how cute she was.

Then we went into the library for a while & put together puzzles and looked for a few new books.

Afterwards we went to Gymlingo for playgroup. It is a very clean gymnastics place and she really enjoyed herself. One of the owners was out there with the kids trying to show & help them roll down and incline & do somersaults. I thought it was great that he was interacting with the kids like he did. I do hope we have more playgroups there.

She concentrates so much when she paints now. She is so into it. She gets so excited when I bring out the paints. She loves arts & crafts, which is awesome! She is coloring all the time now. Even a month ago I was asking if she wanted to color and then we would do it. Now she just goes and gets her crayons & coloring sheets or she has made a routine of coloring in her room right after bathtime and also right when she wakes up. The past few days I will ask if she wants to come downstairs with me and she says "Noooooo" and pulls out her chair at her desk and starts coloring away. She has really started to work on trying to color in objects. It's neat to see that she is starting to get that now.
