Personality !

We think Izzie is experiencing some early teething pains. 

Lots of drooling and hands in the mouth. 

She was even putting her little pink doll in her mouth yesterday. 

Definitely different behavior now.

Here are photos of the fun we had

between catnaps and refueling.

Ya, I know I'm cute!

What are we going to do now?

Can I watch more Elmo?

Razzberries to you!

Gotta love it!

Playing Dress Up

Izzie Anne wore three different outfits today.  That was fun, but the reason is...lots of spitting up.
I didn't even get a photo in the second outfit.  That one only lasted about twenty minutes.

Izzie sat in her swing for quite a while today.  Also liked playing with her doll and the talking dog.

Lots of drool and sucking or biting on her hands.  How early can a little one start teething?

We had a fun day.  And the laundry just finished.

In dream land.

Outfit number three!

Talking to the toys.

Hi, Everybody...

Perfect Day for an Outing

I don't have a watch Izzie day this week because of my schedule,

so today I got to go on an outing with Kyle and Izzie. 

What a beautiful day it is...sunny and just a little less than 60 degrees. 

My idea of just about perfect.

We set off to the Carter store and Books A Million at Westgate.

I took the MetroPark route, and it is beautiful.

Autumn color at about 30 percent.

Bright sunshine.

Beautiful October.

Izzie was amazing.

A few little cries coming from the carseat in the back,

but only when we were stopped for a light.

The instant you start up again, she was quiet.

Now I remember talking about that when my kids were little,

and when my grandkids were little,

but I don't remember it being this pronounced!

This little girl knows what she wants.

The racks in Carter's are tight,

so sometimes it seemed that Izzie - in her stroller -

was lost in a forest of baby girl clothes.

Probably a bigger girl's dream...

I'm not sure what she thought.

Iz was perfect in there.

Rather than load and reload stuff,

Kyle and Izzie walked to BAM

and I drove the car over.

She was just about perfect in there, too,

and we're now 2 hours into our journey.

All was going so well that after a diaper change in the car

we decided to go to lunch...

Izzie's first time going to a restaurant.

Red Lobster was chosen.

Izzie was asleep when we walked in,

slept through our entire meal,

and only woke up as we were getting ready to pay the bill.

Amazing!

She then slept most of the way home...except for the traffic lights...

and had a smile on her face when I left.

Great October outing, Izzie.

What a big girl!

This picture isn't from today,

but after all this writing, I thought I should include a photo.

Mostly Sunny!

The sunshine was back today.  A perfect October day, actually.

Izzie and I went for a walk around the block. 

We heard a bird call to us.  I saw a cricket hopping right at my feet.

We saw a dragonfly go by.

Izzie liked our walk...except for when the lawn guy was right

next to us using the trimmer.  Too loud and scary.

When we got back I had her pose on the nice quilt

that Great Aunt Jan made for her.

She wasn't sure what mood she was in just then.

After another bottle and some fussing,

Izzie is back to sleep in the crib.

Mom will be back soon.

All is well.

More Nap Time

Yesterday Izzie and I shared more play time than before.  You can see her personality developing some.  She likes her little pink doll with big blue eyes.  Izzie now likes the talking dog, which also sings songs sometimes.  Last week she was overtired and sobbed when the dog talked to her.

Izzie had a big, long nap yesterday to, once again, catch up on her sleep.  She was facing the other way during 99 percent of the nap, so here is the photo for the day of some real comfy sleep...in more blankets now because the weather has changed.
