I can't believe that Isabella is 2 already! Her actual birthday is Dec. 27th but we celebrated this past weekend.
At her 2 year checkup she weighed 23 lbs, 10 oz and was 32 3/4 inches tall which both are in the 10-25th percentile. She is a very active joyful girl! Anything she can jump on, climb over, bounce on or crawl through...she's doing it! For example she got a little tikes baby doll bed that sits at the foot of her toddler bed. She likes to climb up over it to get into bed! She is talking nonstop and learning new words each week! The other day I found her in my room and she had turned on the TV. I told her no more TV today! She said as clear as a bell "Just a minute!" I asked her if she said "Just a minute" and she said, "Mmm Hmmm". LOL I wonder who she heard that from! She has the best laugh of any two year old! It makes me laugh or smile every time I hear her! I know God has gifted that laugh to her to bring joy to other people for her entire life! We are so blessed to have such a sweet, healthy, smart, and beautiful girl!
For Bella's party this year we borrowed a boucy house that was small enough to fit inside our basement! She loves to jump around. So I paired that with a cute little frog theme. In the basement I had framed Bella's two year picture and had everyone sign the Max Lucado "Just In Case You Ever Wonder" book to remember everyone that came to the party. That was a sweet gift from Aunt Val!
Upstairs we had hot ham sandwiches, sausage balls, and frog mix to eat. We had our traditional Izze drinks that we have each year for Isabella's party!
Fun frog balloons!
Yummy two layer cake that was gone by the end of the night! I couldn't believe we ate it all!
The kids food table had PB&J cut out in the shapes of thw number 2 and little princess crowns, more frog mix, flies on a log (celery, PB, and raisons).
Kaylen, Elayna, and Bella having a snack at the table!
Bella bouncing with her cousin Sophie!
They had so much fun!
Even Benjamin was sporting the frog theme! I made a little iron on onsie for him!
The girls from the party minus Miss Siena (getting her beauty sleep)
Bella is the gift opening champ by now! After a few Christmases and birthday with us, she knows exactly what to do!
We had so many wonderful family and friends in town for her party! My parents made it back from Peru just a few hours before the party, we had Brandon's dad in town from TX, Aunt Val, Uncle Lea, and Sophie were there! Our good friends the Armstongs, Williams, Meyers, Quicks, and Marbles were all there too!
Bella got a new little hairbrush that says her name on it from Bryce. She insisted on brushing everyone's hair immediately! The girls were really good sports about it! :)
Bella did fantastic blowing out her candles and letting everyone sing to her! I didn't know if she would like all the attention or not. She did!
The ball pit turned out to be the most popular toy of the night! Lots of hiding and using it as a fort and lots of balls to pick up at the end of the night!
All the kids got a little treat bag that had one of the inflatable frog beach balls, frog tattoos, their frog cup, and frog chocolates I made in the chocolate molds! Thank you to everyone for coming and celebrating Bella's 2nd year of life with us! You all mean so much to us and to Isabella!
