The child loves meat. Of course we all know this is no surprise given her meat and potatoes mother. But it's the vehemence of her meat-loving that cracks me up.
Exhibit 1: last weekend we went to Buster's Texas BBQ (yee haw!) for dinner. We ordered her the brisket with mashed potatoes and bread. I had barely set the plate on the table and was turning to grab her to hoist her into the high-chair, when her little chubby hand reached up and snatched a big hunk o'meat off the plate and shovelled it into her mouth.
She proceeded to eat her brisket, Paul's potatoes, a fair number of my french fries and some bread. She also said "Hi" to everyone who passed the table, causing smiles from her new admirers.
Exhibit 2, the T-bone steak dinner (no description necessary):
Exhibit 3 - seen here in live action.
In other news Isabelle is saying more and more words. Almost anything that you label for her she will repeat. This morning, for instance, she was up on the bed with me and starting climbing down. I asked her by signing if she needed help (I said it out loud too). Until now she would have signed "help," but today she said "help."
She also can say "cow" perfectly when you show her a picture of a cow. What else does she say....

I know there are others. I need to keep a running list at home and then post them. Because truly in the last few weeks her word recognition and repetition seems to be growing like crazy.
