I thought before I start doing regular blogging posts I would start with an update of what has been going on with our little family to get everyone up to speed.
Isabelle has been growing and changing so much! She is definitely seeming more and more like a little girl and less and less like a little baby. Although she will always be our little baby, she is definitely growing up. What has Isabelle been up to these days?
- Walking, Walking, Walking. She LOVES walking! While she is too young to walk on her own she will walk all day holding on to our hands. She loves walking around the house, in the grass, and lately up the stairs! She has even figured out to lift her foot up to get up the stairs and climb them! Baby genius? I think so!
- Crawling. Isabelle loves to army crawl all around the house. She can now get anywhere she wants in a matter of seconds, which means we never take our eye off of her! Her favorites to crawl too? The ottoman in which she will now pull herself up to stand, her Disney Princess car (where she pulls herself up to stand also), her Little People amusement park, a stack of soft blocks, and cell phones. We definitely have a strong, active little girl.
- Swinging and swimming. As long as the weather is cooperating you can find us most days in the backyard swinging on her new swing set or swimming in her shaded pool. Both of which she loves. (Below she is sleeping in her swing while cousins Ava and Isaiah came to play last week)
- Sleeping. Isabelle definitely loves her sleep. She takes 3 naps a day totaling about 4 hours and sleeps about 11 straight hours at night. Her favorite sleeping position? On her tummy, arms at her side, knees tucked in with her bottom high in the air. It is unbelievably adorable. (Picture below is before she rolled to her tummy)
- Laughing. She LOVES to laugh, which comes as no surprise considering she has always been so smiley. Her laugh melts our hearts.
- Teeth. Her beautiful smile now shows 3 cute white teeth.
- Favorite Toy? Her Disney Princess Car. She LOVES standing up holding on to this and loves going for rides around the house on it! Pretty fitting for her considering how much Kevin and I love Disney World. She is on the road to loving it herself!
Other then Isabelle updates we have been doing lots of updates to our house as well. Since Isabelle was born we have finished the basement into a big family room, painted the kitchen (thanks to my Dad), hallway, living room, main level bathroom and guest bedroom. We have also re tiled the bathroom floor, re carpeted the living room, hallway and stairs, completed landscaping to now go around the sides of our house, built Isabelle a little "playground" and most recently had a wood fence installed in the backyard. I definitely have to thank Kevin for letting me run with all the ideas I have for decorating and updating our house!
If you made it this far in the blog....thanks for reading! I will try to keep the others short and sweet, but I do love to write so that could be a challenge.
