The Babies Meet Again

We had Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. 

Isabella and Izzie got to meet up again...this time better than before.

Here are a couple of photos of Isabella (7 months) and Izzie (4 months).

When She Was Good, She Was Very, Very Good, But.......

Well, we had some good times today...and some that weren't quite so good. 

It was fun, anyway.

Hope your shots don't hurt too much tommorrow, Iz.

One of the good moments.

Lots of chewing and drooling. 

Blowing bubbles today, too.

Short Little Visit

I got to spend a little time with Kyle and Izzie while Kenny weed wacked out in the yard and put the lawn furniture away for the winter.  I was missing her, since we didn't have our usual time together on Thursday this week.  Here are some photos of Iz in her jumper chair.


Hypnotized by that flashing thing again. 

A penny for your thoughts, Little One.

What big blue eyes you have!

Just keeping an eye on Mom.

November Moods

Our time together today was kind of like November weather.  There were some nice peeks of sunshine and happy times.  Most of the time we were just kind of so so.

I was busy for over an hour trying to put her new jump seat together, and Izzie was pretty content to watch, which was great, because the more difficult that became, the more stubborn I got about conquering that task!
Got it together.  No pix of it today...maybe next time.

 Izzie was doing her floor exercises while I was dressing her,

so I was able to get a shot of her face and her sox.

Those Mary Jane sox = cutest thing going for little girls!

I know...another sleeping picture...at least it's not crying!

She just looked so cozy and cute on this November day...

couldn't pass it up.

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.
