Izzy is learning by leaps and bounds.   Chewing, crawling, opening cabinets and drawers, spitting her food in my face… yup, leaps and bounds.

This video is a couple of weeks old, and she has since stopped spitting her food.   Instead she now screams at the top of her lungs when she wants more food.   A couple of times she actually made my ears hurt – it was that high pitched.   In the past week, we’ve started to put our finger on her mouth when she does that and tell her “No,” in a quiet but firm voice.   She’s picked up on this and now when she screams, she follows it up by looking really sad and shaking her head.   This kid is one manipulative little squirt!   She knows that she shouldn’t scream but she does it anyway and then reminds me that it’s wrong to scream.

Anyway, just wanted to put that little update out there along with this video.   The video, by the way, makes Ciriana laugh everytime she watches it.   In it, I am torn between laughing at her cute face and trying to get her to eat her peas, makes for a perfect daytime drama…

Ironically, her shirt reads, “My heart belongs to Daddy”

Here’s the little monkey trying to eat, destroy, or otherwise disrupt everything in sight – or at least reach.

I was actually trying to get her to talk, but she had other plans.
