Food
The amount of different foods Izzie eats is crazy for a toddler. Olives, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, red peppers... you name it, she eats it.

Eating
It is shocking not only the amount of different things Isabelle eats but also the amount she eats. Many kids with down syndrome have trouble eating and sensory issues with textures. This kid eats everything. She eats way more food than Jack does.
Girl's got skills
Isabelle is clapping and giving high fives if you ask her too. She also is sitting up by herself form the floor and going from sitting to the floor neatly. She's also feeding herself a lot. And likes to. Although she haaates holding her bottle. Refuses to do it. She eats the food we are eating and chunky baby food too. Not eating with spoons yet by herself but with hands. If you help her, she will stand for a few seconds and she loves to jump. MUCH better at putting weight on her feet. Babbling like crazy. Mostly saying "dada". And... drum roll please... we saw her take 4 crawl "steps" this weekend. And so it begins.
Food & ER trip
I am so proud of Isabelle. She's eatin stage 3 chunky food. And she eats all the food we give her off our plates. And puffs and this baby Jax stuff. Some kids with DS have sensory issues and need purees much longer. You may notice that she is in the ER above. Another trip due to her turning dark purple on her hands and feet for a few hours. They did a chest xray. They are clear. Her SATs were 96-100. They also did an ekg and called her cardiologist. He basically said he's not worried. He said some kids with ds just do this and there is no explanation for it. She had a cyanotic episode.
Day 262
Izzie's eaten carrots, sweet potato, watermelon, banana, squash, pears, butternut squash and apples with pumpkin and avocado to come next. She is getting so much stronger every day. She now frequently flips over to sleep on her tummy and on her back and tummy, she pivots - not crawling but will kind of spin.
