Elmo has Muscles Too

Isabella loves to show off her "muscles" when you ask her to do so. The other day I asked her to "show me her muscles", and she lifted her arms and said "Muscles!" like she usually does. Then she ran over and grabbed her Elmo doll, bent his arms up, and said "Elmo, Muscles!".

Easter Greetings

Jeff put together a few of our attempts to get Isabella's Easter greetings on video. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Up...Down

For a while Isabella has known to say "up" when she wants us to pick her up, and then she says "down" when she wants to get down. She has never really pointed up to the sky and said up or pointed to the ground and said down, but today she seemed to make the connection about what up and down really mean. She has been walking around reaching up to the sky on her tip toes and saying "up" and then swatting down and saying "down", over and over and over again. I bet her legs will hurt tomorrow from all of the swats she has done! I still have not figured out what triggered it, but it's pretty cute. Pooh and her ball have also been Up and Down a lot today too.
