Well lately I have felt really guilty about making my posts all about Isaiah, so I decided to do an "Indi Tribute"!
Indianna is 21 months now. She has been so great through these, extremely rough, last 8 weeks! She would often find me crying and immediately come up to me saying, "Mommy, crying... Love you," and give me a hug and a kiss. It's so amazing how intuitive little children can be, I don't know if I could have gotten through some of our rough times without her!
She is starting to talk in short sentences more now and picking up on all sorts of words like; Of course, Awesome, Life cereal, PB-J and Church. I love that she can communicate better with me now.
One day, when she was playing with one of her toys, I was listening to her and she was counting to 10 in Spanish! WOW!
She can sing "The Wheels on the Bus" song so well along with the actions. She loves the "Popcorn popping" song too! I'll often find her playing "Ring around the Roses" with her dolly.
We have been trying to eliminate the pacifier during the day and she has figured out where we stash it... she'll come up to me and say, "Hand? Over here?" and then take me to the kitchen counter and put her arms up and say, "Hold?" to where she can see and point out her pacifier. She is quite the little problem solver! She came to me today with the wipes and baby powder and said, "I'm poopy!"
She is also great with Isaiah. Whenever he starts crying she'll first come to me and say, "Baby bro-err, crying!" and then she tries to put his pacifier in. We have often caught her giving Isaiah kisses when she thought no one was watching. My favorite is when she tickles him and says, "smile!"
She is still keeping up on her signing. She mostly uses signs for; More, Please, Food, Milk, All done, Boy, Happy, Crying, Sleeping.
Her favorite movies right now are "The Little Mermaid" "Finding Nemo" and "Aladdin". Oh and she loves the little clips, "Boundin'" and "Jack-Jack Attack" from the Incredibles DVD.
She loves to:
♦Pose for the camera with her "Cheese" smile.
♦Wave to her reflection.
♦Get her own bath towel (She loves her baths)
♦Say "Hi" in Chinese
♦Watch Dora, Diego, Yo Gabba Gabba, Ni-hao Kai-lan and Little Bill
♦Wear anyones' shoes
♦Watch me put on my make-up
♦Say, "Mommy, where are you?" and "I get you, I get you!"
♦Carry around her purses and wear her braclets
I am really not one to brag, but we are so lucky to have such a beautiful, smart and loving little girl!

It's so hard to spread your time evenly especially with a newborn. It's a good thing Indi is so sweet. Hey I want you to go in and change my background on my blog. I'm sick of it and I don't know how to do it without messing everything up.
I agree!! Indi is so stinkin' cute!! She is such a sweet little girl and I'm so glad that I got to know her a little while you guys were here for the 4th. I love her big blue eyes and how innocent she is!
Indi is such a sweet girl. it was so fun to hold her and play with her on the 4th. she is so cute!!
What a sweetheart! I loved reading all those things. Sounds like she was blessed with a great tempermant. Maybe her and Taeg need to get together and watch some TV. Those are all his favorite shows, with the addition of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! What a cutie! I think it's hard for those oldest kids to go from being the one and only to splitting time. It sounds like you're doing a great job though, Cori!
Oh she is such a doll and sooo smart too! It sounds like she is such a little a blessing! I hope things are going better! You are such a great mom Cori!
That was very good of you to do that for Indi. Everyone knows you didn't forget her, but I'll bet it's hard to spend as much time with both your kids when one is so small. You're very lucky to have a daughter who is so happy and so good. Thank Heaven For Little Girls!
Indi is just the sweetest!! I loved hearing about those things- it's hard to hear all of the things we miss just living 40 minutes away from you guys. I am hoping once I quit working we can hang...we miss you guys!!
She is so cute Cori! I love that picture of you doing her hair. I just read about your stress with Isaiah, that is so sad! I hope things are going better!
k-totally random comment here...
it's sarah rogers, mandy's friend. i was just reading her entry about her baby shower and saw your link in her sidebar. i wanted tell you at the shower but i'm just so dang awkward in person... i totally have a crush on your hair. so gorgeous. and then seeing your after-giving-birth pictures??? no one should look that good after labor! :)
also, i've been meaning to apologize for how insane miles was that night we were at your house. i hope indianna hasn't sustained any long-term disobedience.
Happy Happy Birthday today!!!
