I just wanted to update the blog, and let everyone know what Izzy has been up to this summer. I have uploaded a few pictures below, so you can see how much she has grown! She loves to talk! We find ourselves turning the radio off just to hear Izzy ramble. She knows how to say dada, and momma. Jeremy taught her how to do a touchdown symbol one morning during breakfast. (That will teach me to not sleep late anymore!)

Isabella is officially crawling! She started with the army crawl, but now she knows how to get up on her knees. These are some cute pictures that I took while I was trying to get her to crawl one day. She loves to play peek-a-boo!

We were able to go to a beautiful house on the beach a few weeks ago. The first day at the beach was horrible! Izzy could not suck her thumb with sand on her hands! So, we stayed at the pool the rest of the day. The next day, after packing up the whole house, we were ready for the beach. She had to sit in the middle of a huge blanket, with me cleaning off her hands, and stuffing her mouth with puffs every second for her to enjoy the beach! We had so much fun! We are already planning next year's trip!

Quick Update on Izzy

As you can see...Izzy has not stopped growing! She is a big girl! We went to our 9 month check up and she weighed in at 23lbs 2 ozs. They said that she is at 97% at that weight. She was 28 1/2 inches long (82%) and I can't remember the head circumfrance but it was at 92%. So she is doing great and we started regular foods this week. This is a lot of fun because we can share some of the things that we like with her! She of course is loving it...it does involve eating! Izzy is at the beach this week with some of her friends. Lindsey and Izzy will be back Saturday and Dad cant wait to see them then! One more thing...Izzy finally crawled last night! I put her down in the floor and she just took off. She is not consistant with it yet, but is covering some ground. Dad will be baby proofing the house while Lindsey and Izzy are away this week!

Day at the Zoo!

Julie and Victoria had a great idea to go to the zoo today. It was a beautiful day! We had so much fun! Here are a few pictures from our day out. Julie was a great trooper with 3 kids! This is an adorable picture of Victoria and Liam in front of the giraffes. We were not allowed to leave until we saw them! Here is Kristen with her neice and nephew by the meerkats. Below are a few pictures of Izzy with Caroline, and the boys looking at the meerkats, as well. This picture was supposed to be very cute with the elephant in the background, but he decided to move. So, we just have his behind in the picture. Laura and Sweet Caroline took a break with us while Liam went to pet the camels. Izzy had fun catching up with her friends. Izzy was exhausted by the end of the trip. She had a great nap, but was wide awake when we got home. After a quick bath, Izzy was ready to go on another field trip! Typical day with Izzy!

Family Cruise!

We took a family cruise for Spring Break. I was worried about how this trip might go with a little baby, but it went great! We swam with dolphins in Cozumel! Izzy sat with grandad and watched us all! Izzy had a lot of fun with Uncle Matty. She loved dancing to the music! These pictures are from the formal nights on the ship. Izzy couldn't eat all the wonderful food, but she loved sitting at the table watching all the people around us. By the end of dinner, she was usually asleep, as you can see. Uncle Matty and Aunt SaySay got plenty of practice on this trip! Bebe took this picture of Izzy and I on the beach in Grand Cayman. We can't wait to take her back to the beach this Summer! Thanks Bebe and Grandad for the wonderful trip!
