isabella's words

things i've learned i say a lot because isabella says them a lot:

-niiiiice

-al.RIGHT

-sorry

-oopsie doodle

-oh dear

-oh man (while slapping my legs)

-bummer

one of mike's favorite things to hear her say is, "read the book." my favorite thing recently is that she calls a granola bar a "monkey bar." she had one for the first time last week (at work), and when we got there this week, she saw one and started saying "monkey bar." at first i thought she was saying that because she had eaten hers when we were at the zoo looking at monkeys. but then i realized that she knew it was some sort of bar and couldn't remember which one, so she went with monkey bar.

we watch this show on on demand. its just 12 minutes of kids singing nursery rhymes. she used to just sit and watch, but now she sings along and does the motions. there's a song that says "sleep baby sleep" and she sings it in a high pitched voice and does the sign for sleep (she hasn't signed in a loooong time, so we aren't sure why she does it, but it is REALLY cute). we also watch her birthday video from uncle tim and auntie abby, and she has started doing the motions for those songs too. abby does this whistle sort of thing with her hands that isabella tries to do and asks us to do. and she asks for "abby" all day long. thank goodness for that video and skype...she knows her aunt and uncle who live in boston!

we also listen to psalty pretty much non-stop while in the car. i don't know how well i'll be able to describe this, but i want it documented for us to remember, so bear with me. in the sing-along-athon song there is a part where the kids sing, "ah ah AH AH AH." she sings along with it with her mouth in an "o" shape and puts her arms out to the side. it cracks me up every time. there is also the "i've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart" song with an obnoxious/high pitched "wheeeeere" that she does.

(i wrote this awhile ago and saved it thinking i'd take video of her saying these things and add the video. well, i took the videos and they're still on my camera. so, i'm just going to post this now and do the videos when i get around to it).
