We're Back

I got behind in posting here. 

Inexcusable! 

Nothing is more important than this.

Here are three photos I took a couple of weeks ago. 

Seems long ago, since Iz is dressed for hot weather

and we are definitely into fall weather now. 

I guess I'll never see her wear this cute summer outfit again.



Eeew, she says.
Izzie is happy about something!




Hmmm, what should I do now?



Eeew, eeew...she's really being entertained by something now.
Probably Elmo or Cureous George.
Love this little face!

Girl Curls

The curls are coming, the curls are coming.

Humidity helps, but it certainly looks like the curls are coming!

We had fun this week. 

Iz only cried half heartedly for about twenty seconds

when her mom was leaving.

She was doing a lot of running...

always in a hurry to go to the next thing

that peaks her interest.

She is doing really well on stepping up and down a step on her own;

not perfect, but really good.

Izzie had what probably was her first taste

of a Boston Cooler (Rootbeer Float, Black Cow).

Once she discovered what it tasted like,

she drank her little sample until it was gone.

Every week a little smarter and a little sweeter.

A little dreamy eyed after being out partying the night before!

Attitude

Here are a couple of photos taken before we went to see Granny yesterday.

Izzie thought it was going to be her day to stay with me,

and was giving us some grief about that. 

Still in a little snit after throwing a fit about coming to my house.  8-(

Sitting by the hydrangeas.
It was a perfect summer day yesterday.

A Visit with Great, Great Granny

Izzie, Kyle, and I went to visit Great, Great Granny yesterday. 

The very young and the very old are good companions.




Tickling Great, Great Granny.  It made all of us smile!

 



Getting to know each other again.

Lazy Days of Summer

Too hot to spend much time outside lately. 

Here are a couple of pictures from last week just hanging out with Izzie.



Just sittin' like Great, Great Aunt Jan
and watchin' Elmo.




Is this the start of little girl curls?  I hope so.



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
