Isabella @20 months

It is hard to keep up with everything you are learning. You say new words every day. You are not a baby anymore. You are this beautiful girl who inspires me to be a better person. And I love you so much it hurts.

- You think the Sesame Street characters are part of our family. When you list everybody (Grandma, Grandpa, Vovo, Vovo, Papai, Mommy...) you make sure to include Elmo, Zoe, Cookie, Abby and Ernie.

- You say many adorable things. Some of my favorites are: your name, so cute, awesome, mommy, please (you actually say fizz but that's ok, you have the right intentions), the way you say frog (you actually say something really inappropriate but that's ok, you have the right intentions), night night, sleepy, angel, puppy and orange juice.

- You still love DVDs and playing with the IPhone.

- You still hate having your hair washed.

- You know the alphabet, the numbers up to 20 (in English and Portuguese- you can countdown too!), many shapes and you are working hard on your colors. Orange, pink and blue seem to be your favorites.

- You have been asking to go poopoo in the potty. We're still not potting training yet but you are very interested.

- You make our lives so much more beautiful. Keep shining like that forever, my little star!
