What a great X-Mas!

Christian, Iz, and I are so lucky to have so much family around for Xmas. I couldn't imagine Isabella's first Christmas being more special! Thank you everyone for such great memories.

She was showered with great gifts this year and couldn't get enough of them! she played and played until she was pooped and passed out! lol

Here is our angel, the one Christmas present I will be thankful for my entire life!

Will this little angel ever grow hair?? I have hundred of bows but no hair to put them in....only time will tell I guess...

Thanks Gammy for my very first Cell Phone!

Thanks Aunt Nanc for my own Bubba!
Thanks Grandma Coco for my Rockin Ladybug!


I luv paper!!! it tastes so good!

Milestones....she sits and eats!

Rice Cereal ....my Ped told me that once Isabella showed interest in table food that it was probably time to start some rice cereal. Since she is still exclusively breastfeed they normally say wait until she is 6months or close to it for solids. However, for the last few weeks, I can't eat anything without her trying to take it out of my hand. So, I have been really tempted to start her on rice cereal a little early.

We went to the doctors last week (catch up on some shots) and he told me that I could start rice cereal at anytime and just start veggies at 6 months. So, this morning, I decided to give her rice cereal. What an event! I really struggled with this....every time I scooped the rice cereal into her baby spoon (it would fall all over the place, it was really runny) then I tried to put the bowl under her chin, NO good, she grabbed the bowl. What a mess! I took a video of her first meal, but my arm was in it the whole time...he he he. Tomorrow Ill try to catch it on tape....Here is Iz in her big girl charge at the kitchen counter!

2nd Milestone/Sitting: Over the course of the last few days, Isabella has learned to sit up on her own, kinda. She isn't a pro at it yet, still struggles sitting on the bed (she tips over when something catches her eye), but has sitting on the floor down! We are so proud of you my angel ....look at her go....(she had no support in this picture) what a big girl!

Hilarious!

Well, I know most parents think their child is the funniest, cutest, smartest, what have you...and I am no different. Iz is the funniest little girl and is really developing a cute little personality.

Her favorite things this week...the Cat (OMG, the poor cat), the dogs, her training sippy cup, and of course her Rainforest Jumper!

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to flip the video...

I wish you could see her face when she sees the cat...the noise she makes though is pretty funny. I will try to get it on film again later...

Thanksgiving!

We're back! The last several weeks have been crazy...but the holidays always are, and I luv every bit of them!

This year Thanksgiving at Christian's parents house was a little different than last year...or at least there were more of us there to celebrate...2 new additions actually. It was really nice to get the entire fam together for a great shot of the cousins, Grandparents, and Great Grandpa George.

I must say we have A LOT to be thankful for, and having a great family is just the start!

Grandma Coco (just for you Jen!) and Iz.
