Two Years and a final post

So I am giving up my own blog with these final penguin pictures in favor of a new blog that I will share with my new brother when he comes Monday.

My mommy said it was important to leave my blog as mine, but it is time to expand. It is hard for her to believe how big I am getting. I can say the alphabet (though I don't like k) and I can count to ten. I find colors most challenging, but those of you who know Daddy know that he is thrilled that art school may not be in my future.

You can find me now at http://thewoodfamilytree.wordpress.com/ Please continue to follow all of my fun and adventures as I gain a brother and playmate. I have been asking him to "Come out and play" for several weeks now but he is not listening yet :).

Enjoy my two year old penguin pictures.

I got very excited to see my friend penguin!

I tried putting shoes on the penguin.
I love hugging it.
Kisses are good too!

Lots of Birthday Candles

When asked what today is I say "Izzy's Birthday. Blow Out Candles!!!!" I did a lot of that today starting with a bagel along with then ice cream and cake. I also told mommy "Happy Birthday Twig!" but thankfully it looks like I won't have to share my day.

Birthday Party

We had my birthday party today. Mommy said something about making sure I got a party before Twig comes. Here is the video of people singing to me and the candles! Thank you to everyone who came to help me celebrate.

jumping, penguins and a new baby doll

I had fun with my friend Sydney playing at Kidville. We got to jump and get lots of energy out while our very pregnant mommies could take it easy :)
It is hard for Mommy to believe that it is time for a 23 month picture. I have come a long way since hanging next to the penguin. Now I move it all over the place :)
Look how tall I am!
I also got a new baby doll recently. It is blue because I am going to have a brother soon. I love looking at the sonogram pictures of him and talking to Mommy's belly button. I share my milk and blankies with him too.

Paint!

So lately we have been going to a fun color class that involves both water and then paint. It is great because it is all of the messy projects you would never want to brave if you had to clean them up. Today Izzy and her friends got a bit carried away :)

22 Months...the taking of a penguin picture

So here is my official 22 month photo, but mommy put some extra shots in to show that it is not always easy.Getting me to look is tricky...
Plus I like to pick-up the penguin...
and my facial expressions are sometimes entertaining...

Traveling Again

I went to Wyoming with Mommy and Daddy along with Happy, Granny, Great Uncle Victor, Great Aunt Joan, Cousin Martha and J. Victor. Oscar and his parents had to stay home because he was a little too young.I got to go on TWO horse rides :)!
I also used "Giddy-up" to get Happy to give me a ride.

On the way home we stopped and spent a night in Salt Lake City. We saw cousins Andrew and Karen. We went to the State House.
For those of you who know my Mommy well you will understand this picture :)
Karen and Andrew took me to a park with this great fountain to play in!
I was so happy until we had to leave!
