October Fun in the Sun

Two days ago, during our first sunshine of October,
Izzie, Mom, and I went to the pumpkin patch -
suburban style.  (aka Uncle John's Plant Farm)
We want to share our fun with you here:


Great Gram just loves October.

Hmmm, what is this?


I told Izzie this was Uncle Gary.


Sittin' in the pumpkin patch...sort of!


I like this bumpy one.
(They are calling these knuckle heads this year!)


Takin' time to smell the flowers.

Girls' Afternoon Out

We had a fun get together today, on this perfect September afternoon.  Kyle, Izzie, and I met Terri and Lindsey for lunch.  We were entertained for an hour and a half non-stop by Izzie.  You would think the child hadn't eaten in three days!  With that cute face, anything she does is lovable and amusing.  Will this still be true when the terrible twos arrive?

After lunch we came back here.  Grandma, Mom, Aunt, and I recorded one of those Hallmark books for Izzie that you record yourself reading.  Everyone was a little recorder shy, and we had one episode of almost laughing, but we got through it.

Then Grandma and I took Izzie into the bedroom to prepare our little surprise...a leotard and tutu for Izzie.  It cracked all of us up, and the little ham didn't bat an eye at wearing a foofie net skirt!  Here are the pictures.  Enjoy...we sure did.

Having fun in this new outfit.


With Aunt Lindsey.
Starting to get sleepy. 
I skipped out on my nap today.


My ballet partner, Grandma.


Great Gram got these little pumpkins...just my size.


The End...
of a fun afternoon.

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.
