Valentine's Day

Andrew was lucky enough to get Valentine's Day off this year, which was random but we were happy to have him home.  We decided to head to the zoo before our pass expires.  The girls were very excited to be outside, even if it was a little chilly.  The monkeys were going crazy in their cages, howling and making all sorts of loud noises.  After spending a few hours at the zoo we went to lunch at The Pie, so yummy!  Too bad I didn't think to take any pictures there, it was a fun atmosphere.

Pink Eye

Addie contracted pink eye a few weekends ago :(  I was so bummed because that meant we were home bound and I had a whole day of fun planned out in my head which was all canceled when she woke up with one eye swollen shut.  We made the best of it, however, by bringing out the dress up clothes.  Izze loves to dress up now too, which is fun.  She was wearing a dance leotard at one point, but I didn't get a picture, I'm sure there will be a next time though.

Cheese!

Sometimes when we tell Addie and Izze to say "cheese" for a picture they actually listen!  We were so excited they listened that we gave them more cheese in the form of Cheetos.  Izze was so excited to eat Cheetos (I do believe this is her first experience), she devoured them and it shows.  A few days later I pulled out the Cheetos bag for lunch and Izze was so excited I couldn't put the Cheetos on her plate fast enough. 

18 months & counting

Izze is now 18 months, although some days I wonder if she is already in her terrible twos!  She definitely has a mind of her own, she shakes her head no and squints her eyes if she doesn't want something.  If she is thirsty she knows to stand by the refrigerator and say "unh unh" (I have no idea how to spell what I am trying to say) until I get her a drink.  Izze loves to do whatever Addie is doing and follows her every move, sometimes it's nice sometimes it's not so nice.  She loves her blankets and loves to snuggle when she wakes up from her nap.  Izze loves to brush her teeth and talk really loud.  She is not a fan of nursery so far :( and is sure to be my little shadow most of the day.  We love our little Izze, you make us laugh!
