HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! (2009)

Today we woke up, got her dressed and went to IHOP just so she could get some good use out of her costume. When she is wearing her outfit, it's almost like she knows she is cute. She just constantly smiles:) This time next year she will be running around and talking up a storm. We can't wait!

The Next Stage of Her Life...

It amazes me how fast she learns. This evening she was working so hard on getting to her toys. She is in love with this giraffe that sits in a strawberry car that her Mimi gave her. She loves it and in the first video that is what she is trying to get to. ENJOY!!!

Trying out for the Circus

We woke up to her talking and cooing like normal. When we got in there this is what we found. We laughed so hard and figured she must have been trying out for the circus when she was doing all that talking and cooing.

Pumpkin Patch Trip

Isabella went on her first trip to the pumpkin patch. It was very nippy and windy. We did the best we could with fall pictures in about 15 minutes. We didn't want her out there longer than she had to be. It was a blast... she loved looking at all the bright colors.

Cousin Time!!!

We got to see my brother and his family. His daughter Addisyn is about 3 days younger than Isabella. This trip the girls had a blast playing with each others hands(they each had some battle wounds from the hand fights... ha ha ha). Keep in mind they were both tired. So some pics they look kinds silly looking.... Over all we had a blast and it will definitely be so much fun watching them grow up together.

Our Two Puppys

We got her a new costume because the Sweet Pea outfit was not practical; she could not straighten her legs in it. Babies-R-Us had their costumes 50% off yesterday and so we got her this one. We spent some of the afternoon out catching some shots of our two little puppy's. ENJOY!!!

TEXAS.... Here we come again!!!!

This past weekend we got to go to Dallas and meet Preston's parents there. We had a great trip. However, I do have to say... traveling is difficult when your baby is on a schedule. She did sleep good on the way home though. She fell asleep in Dallas before getting on the highway and didn't budge until we were about 20 minutes away from our house. More pics of our visit with my brother and his family to come soon.........

We Couldn't Believe It!!!!

I know it's not the best quality of video, but we had to capture it quickly and it was dim in our living room. She is really trying to out-do herself. She is scooching all over the place and has finally figured out to get her toys and things with out having to wait for us to give them to her.

To Cute for Words

This picture was just to cute to not post on here... however after I took the picture she puked all over this outfit, but she did have it on for a good 2 minutes.

Breathing Treatments

Isabella has recently had to under go breathing treatments for a cold/cough that she had that was kinda/almost turning into the croup. She has to do these breathing treatments twice a day. Needless to say it is very difficult to get a 5 month old to sit still for them. So her nurse gave us this new tool yesterday for us to try with her treatments.... I'm glad to say she loves it and will now sit still for the whole treatment cause she has something to chew on.

Sleepy Time

I love it when she falls asleep because I know then I can get all the kisses I want from her. When she is asleep she is not trying to sqirm out of my arms.

Her Room is Finished!!!!

A friend of mine did a special thing for us. DeAnn painted Isabella's name on individual square blocks of wood. We finally got them finished and hung. It's been about a month since we've had it done. But, it is a nice feeling to have something finished. It looks so much better in person.

Noni's Lil' Reader

She loves looking at books. Wouldn't this make the cutest advertisement for "Young Readers."

Random Pics

It has been busy around our house lately so I haven't been able to upload as often I would have liked... these have been over the past few weeks... read the captions on each pic... ENJOY!!!

Her winter "digs"

This is definitely not the way to sit in the bouncy... good thing we were supervising her.

Why does EVERYTHING have to go in the mouth???????

Preston and I bought this dress for my niece, Ellia, when we were on our honeymoon.

It fits Izzy perfect right now... to bad it's to cold out for her to wear it...

so we had to capture a picture of her in it.

This outfit was made for me when I was a baby.

I had to capture the moment.
