Her First Wedding

One of our friends got married last night and we went. We took it as an opportunity to get "all dolled up." Dressing her up was more than half the fun. She knows when she looks pretty. She did great during the wedding except for when the music would finish playing she would clap and screeeech in excitement. So we were thankful when there were only two songs and it was a "very short" ceremony. Thank God. ENJOY!!!

2 of Papa's Pride-n-Joys

So, last weekend in Dallas, my dad got his dream car, '94 Corvette. He has added to his list of pride-n-joys. All the granddaughters have had thier pictures taken with Papa in his new 'vette'. The wind was blowing right in Isabella's face so that's why she's making some of the funny faces she is. ENJOY!

"Da-Da"

Tonight as I was feeding Isabella her dinner I had the show "Friends" on in the background. And while the intro song was playing Isabella was eating and swinging her foot like she does.Then when 'Ross' came on the screen, Isabella stopped eating, pointed to the t.v and said... "Da- Da" It was by far the cutest moment yet. I was so proud of her. I did tell her, however, that was not da-da and that it was Ross on Friends. I know she understood me when I said that cause she gave me this stare like she was thinking..." um no mommy you are wrong... that is clearly daddy. "

VALENTINE'S HERE WE COME!!!!

Once again we had her pictures done at Target. I love it when they need us to come in for training purposes. We get FREE pictures and then they use our pictures in the studio for advertisement. How fun is that. And Isabella is such a great candidate to have pictures taken cause she loves the camera. This time, however, she could crawl to the camera faster than they could take her pictures.... We all got a good cardio-workout chasing her around. ENJOY!!!

Yes! She's Walkin' Folks!

We caught her first time walking on video. I can't believe it. I know she's not walking by herself but she is still walking in my book. She is not even 9 months old yet. Our house is once again changing because she is mobile 'on foot' now. ENJOY!

Busy Fingers!

Today while we were at lunch Preston and I were talking and eating lunch. During our bites we would feed our darling daughter some of her puffs then continue eating. Well a couple of bites went by and I realized that I hadn't given my daughter any puffs because she was no longer demanding them, cause she was busy. When I looked at her she had some blue stringy sticky stuff attached to her hand and was pulling on it from underneath the table. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! SHE FOUND GUM! I exclaimed! GRRRROOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS! We cleaned her up and got her hands sanitized. As we finished cleaning her up I soon realized that.... AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH she's chewing on something blue!!!!!. I reached in her mouth and with my finger I pulled out some of that blue stringy sticky stuff. My daughter had picked off someone's gum off the bottom of the table and put it in her mouth. I was totally disgusted and felt like I was going to puke. These are the times of busy and quick little fingers. Thought I'd share the experience with all of you.

Dallas Here We Come!

My best friend Julie and I planned a trip to Dallas for one of her daughter's birthday parties. Since my parents were going to see Phil and Kelly. I got the best of two worlds. Isabella and I got to see family and friends this past weekend. It was our first time away from daddy.. something I don't think we'll be doing again any time soon... we both missed him horribly. After seeing my brother and his family I headed to meet Julie for a girls weekend. Isabella took right to Julie(she will be proud I put that in here.) The picture of Isabella laying on the bed was right after we got to the hotel and she was bushed. She got to meet Cinderella, she found herself in a mirror, learned what it's like to sleep in a hotel crib (not good), and went swimming. Oh, and had lots of play time with Aunt Julie. ENJOY!
