Just Hangin' Out with the Sesame Street Gang

Izzie came to stay with me a couple times this week.  Recently one of her favorite things has been to line up the SS characters who ride in her Sesame Street school bus on a skinny little wooden arm of a chair.  It is quite a skill, even for me, and she has done a great job of doing this over the past month or so.

Here is a lunch time photo and a couple of pictures with the little SS characters.

Mac and cheese for lunch.  What a big girl!

Look, I did it again!

Looks like she is going for her favorite...Elmo.

Valentine's Fun

Izzie, Mom, Grandma, and I (GreatGram) met for lunch on Valentine's Day.  I rode to the restaurant in the back of the car with Iz, and she must have known it was a special day...she was cuter and more talkative and more charming than ever!


Here are some pix I took of her at the restaurant.  I should have gotten someone to take a group picture of all of us together.

Grandma likes to give me lemon slices
and then wait to see what happens.

Lemon face.
(Making my saliva glands work OT just looking at this!)

I'm everybody's Valentine!

I gave Izzie a few little gifts for the special day, one of which was a T-shirt with a sequined heart.  When she saw the shirt she said "heart" plain as day.  I was amazed.  Pretty cool for an almost 19 month old.  She has a good teacher!

Rockin' With Iz

Izzie and I have had some fun with rocking chairs over the past couple of months.  

Here she is posing.  She knows what "take your picture" means now!

This Cracks Me Up!

Here is Izzie,

very involved in one of her Christmas books,

and very laid back in the rocking chair I gave her for early Christmas. 

Too cool for school!

Gotta love it!

Pre Christmas Thru a Toddler's Eyes

Here are some photos I took December 14th
that I haven't had a chance to post. 

I will post our early Christmas photos
over the weekend.

Merry Christmas, Everyone.

This was Izzie's first time meeting Frosty and
being serenaded by him.
It was love at first sight!

I know this might sound crazy,
but it looks like Frosty is just as happy
to sing and play for Izzie
as she is watching and listening!

The Mutual Admiration Society.

Here is where we count out
One, Two, Three Trees!

Recent Photos

Wow, I am really behind in posting to this blog. 

Here are a few photos I have taken of Izzie in the past couple of weeks.

Boo!



Iz in a Halloween shirt,
with her favorite, Elmo, in the background.
Here comes Great Gram,
getting in my face with that camera again.




This looks like a friendly ghost to me.




I like when Grandma lets me watch Elmo on her tablet.




Oooh, it's really getting good now.
It takes my mind off these new teeth that are popping through.



October Fun in the Sun

Two days ago, during our first sunshine of October,

Izzie, Mom, and I went to the pumpkin patch -

suburban style.  (aka Uncle John's Plant Farm)

We want to share our fun with you here:



Great Gram just loves October.



Hmmm, what is this?



I told Izzie this was Uncle Gary.




Sittin' in the pumpkin patch...sort of!




I like this bumpy one.
(They are calling these knuckle heads this year!)




Takin' time to smell the flowers.
