Busy, busy, busy

This baby girl is so busy. Constantly. Things her big sister never did--go exploring in rooms without us, try to climb stairs, investigate the toilet... She seems to know what 'no' means but doesn't respond as desired. She still loves anything with a cord, all things paper, her sister. Momma is her preferred person most of the time but she gets so excited to see Daddy and any of her grandparents. She also loves the lady who does childcare at our gym. A few weeks ago her separation anxiety got drastically better--so glad she doesn't scream when PopPop holds her anymore! Of course, she doesn't sit still long enough for anyone to hold her long. Still only 2 teeth. She's started letting go while standing and cruises well. I'm surprised she's not walking yet but you do have to be still in order to work on balance. 

Here are some pics:

Goldilocks and the 5 Bears

Isla wanted to tell me a story a few nights ago. She takes creative license with the classics to make them her own. This night it was Goldilocks and the 5 Bears. There was Poppa Bear, Momma Bear, Baby Bear, Puppy Bear, and an extra little Baby Bear who was staying with the Bear Family for awhile cause it's momma and daddy couldn't take care of it right now.
