Time is flying by so quickly. We can't believe that it's the end of October already. We tried taking her to have her pictures taken on Saturday but Izzy ended up just being crabby so we only had about 3 good studio shots. It's so different now from when she took her 6 month pictures. She's so much more aware. About 3 weeks ago we bought her a Step 2 Kangaroo playhouse. At first she couldn't figure out how to climb it so we were okay leavng the second story up but just this past week she learned how to climb up the slide and get onto the second story. Of course when she got there, she couldn't figure how to get back done and would try to just "walk" off. That triggered us taking the slide and the 2nd story off till she gets a little older.
Step 2 makes such cute products that we ended up getting a playhouse for my parents house in Morgan Hill. Well actually it was a gift from my parents that we picked up. It's so cute I have to get a picture! It has a working doorbell, a kitchen, and a phone.
Izzy has 7 teeth now and is eating a ton of solid food. Her favorites are pastas, bread, and cookies. She actually would eat anything we eat which makes going out to eat much easier. We are weaning her off the bottle so now she has her sippy cups during meals and then only bottles in the evening. We end up usually with 2 total which I think is major progress. I'm not totally strict about the bottle and I know that eventually she will just drop it completely so it's not much of a concern with us. She's already pretty good with normal cups too but I think the bottle just helps her out in the evenings before bed time. My little girl is getting bigger by the day!
