Big changes are happening.

 

Izzie is becoming very active. She is awake a huge portion of the day and spends some time just babbling and wiggling around. She can roll from side to side. She plays with her feet and hands. She reaches for things with purpose like the vibrating frog on the car seat, she pulls it's legs now. She still makes the sputtering noise but now also little babbles. She giggles. I'm working on helping her sit up but she still falls over right away. She recognizes people and gets super excited for Mama, Papa, y hermana. She pulls hair.

Ollie is developing alot right now too. She is gaining new words everyday and is coming along really well with potty training. We bought panties for her and tried the 3 day focus on training that my mom told us about. She didn't master it in 3 days but when we are at home she is 80% potty trained. She doesn't like using public potties so that still poses a challenge but I am determined that she can be done by the end of  the month. She wakes up in the morning and from naps with dry diapers and goes in the toilet right away.  

We went to the zoo yesterday and Olivia was really excited. She looked at all the animals and followed their movements and talked to them. The sea lions were her favorite. It was so cute because every time the kids put there hands up to the glass the sea lion would open his mouth and nod his head. She can make the sound of 8 animals. She can show you 9 of her body parts and likes to point them out on her sister too. We have been able to get her to say the animal noises for awhile but the other night while driving home she was drinking milk and she goes, "blah blah blah baca mooooo." For you gringos Vaca is cow :) Ollie also knows all the names of her pets, her sister's name, leche, juice, ball, agua, afueda, zapatos, peepee, popo, push, go, ven, and Abuelos. I won't be able to list anymore since her vocabulary is sky rocketing but you all get the point, she is becoming quite a talker.

 

Well, I guess that is all for now. We are getting ready for our trip. This will be Izzie's first flight! Wish us well, and hopefully we will visit Phoenix again soon too!
