Today Isabell and I ventured out of the house to go visit my friend, Katie, and her 5 day old little boy, Jackson. Isabell has been practicing for the past week to say his name, but the best we get is “Gack!”, which is cute all on it’s own. She did such a good job […]
Every day we hear a new word or two. The last few days she has been working on varigating her vowels (i.e. mommy instead of mama) and making words more clear. Here is a list of the words we hear her using now: up, down, in, out, on, off, hot, Mommy, Daddy, baby, ball, “Lalala” […]
Nashon and I took Miss Isabell to see the doctor this morning for her 15 month old well child check. Things are looking good! She is still getting bigger every day, but seems to finally be thinning out a bit. Here are her stats for the day: Head Circumference: 19 inches, 97th percentile Weight: 24 […]
Well, Isabell has learned that presents can be opened to find something inside. While we’ve managed to not have all of the presents under the tree come magically unwrapped, she is very interested in helping everyone else open presents! She rips the paper, and then pulls on it until the toy comes out. Right now, […]
I know that ya’ll have been bugging me for pictures from Isabell’s birthday, and yes, I know that I still haven’t put them up. Nashon and I left the photo taking to family members, and while some of them have given us photos, they are all on CDs, and I don’t have a CD rom […]
POOP!!! Well, anyone that spends time talking to us about Isabell probably knows that from time to time she has trouble with the whole pooping process, often creating poops large enough for a 20 year old! Well, the upside of this kind of poop is that it takes her a lot of effort to get […]
Though this was technically Isabell’s second halloween, last year she was just the treat, and we showed her to our friends that came to the door. This year, we decided to give her a REALY costume, and take her trick or treating to a few houses. After no thought at all, we decided to dress […]
This has been a very busy month for us. As many of you know, Nashon’s step mother, Robyn, was diagnosed with cancer about two months ago; she passed away on the 17th following a short battle. We have spent much time up at their house in the past few months as a result, and Isabell […]
Words: “mama” = Mommy! “dada” = Daddy! “baba” = bye bye (paired with waving) “da” = dog (while pointing at the dog) “hot” = hot (while pointing at the stove or a mug of hot tea) “nunununu” = No thank you! (paired with shaking her head) her signs now include: milk, all done, more, again, […]
Isabell is trying to be a toddler, and grow out of the pleasant babyhood that we’ve enjoyed for the past 11.5 months. Yesterday she got to spend some time at the neighbor’s house, and then we all played together outside for a few hours. She is so cute when she wants to be a big […]
