La La La La

Four generations of our five went to lunch yesterday. 

Unfortunately, due to problems that won't be mentioned here,

it wasn't the best of times.

However one of the bright spots provided by our one year old

was when she was singing the "Elmo" song,

which is mostly "La La La La"  which requires a lot of tongue action.

Dog Days of Summer - Toddler Style

Izzie started her morning with a case of "the terrible twos"...
and it's two weeks until her first birthday.
I guess we all have our days.

After her nap...only thirty minutes long...she was her own sweet self.

Hot, humid...dog days.



Ya, I'm cool.




I think I have some more teeth about to pop through.  Ouch!




Busy Izzie



An Early Birthday Celebration

We decided to have an early first birthday party for Iz a couple of weeks ago when Great, Great Aunt Jan was in town.  (She doesn't seem old enough to have two Great Greats!)

Here are some photos from this little celebration.



These are a few of my favorite things.




Oh, bother...clothes!




Now this is really something I like.  Kitty.




Hangin' with Daddy.




Ewwwwwww!




I just polished off half a cupcake...maybe a piece of birthday cake now?
After all, it is my first.




The one year cupcake.
Izzie hadn't had a chance to practice
blowing out the candle yet.

 Happy Early Birthday, Little Izzie.....
