Izzy is 18 months today!!!! Wow, one and a half years old! She has just been a joy from day one. Right now she perfectly mimics phrases we say; she's very snuggly and gives us frequent hugs; she's very sweet with her toys and knows what it means to be "gentle." Her current interest is sporting her new sunglasses. Once we get them on her she wears them for pretty much the entire day, indoors and out. She loves oranges but not to eat, rather, she loves to hold them and gnaw on them a bit. She calls them "apple" even though she knows how to say orange. The pictures of Izzy in front of the fridge are of her begging me to give her an "apple" to play with. What a charmed life one must lead if all you are want for is an apple. Or orange. Whatever. 

Too cool for Thomas.

Beer me some apple, mom! (Those of you who follow "The Office" know what this means and, no, I didn't give her beer.)
