This Cracks Me Up!

Here is Izzie,

very involved in one of her Christmas books,

and very laid back in the rocking chair I gave her for early Christmas. 

Too cool for school!

Gotta love it!

Pre Christmas Thru a Toddler's Eyes

Here are some photos I took December 14th
that I haven't had a chance to post. 

I will post our early Christmas photos
over the weekend.

Merry Christmas, Everyone.

This was Izzie's first time meeting Frosty and
being serenaded by him.
It was love at first sight!

I know this might sound crazy,
but it looks like Frosty is just as happy
to sing and play for Izzie
as she is watching and listening!

Here is where we count out
One, Two, Three Trees!

Recent Photos

Wow, I am really behind in posting to this blog. 

Here are a few photos I have taken of Izzie in the past couple of weeks.

Boo!



Iz in a Halloween shirt,
with her favorite, Elmo, in the background.
Here comes Great Gram,
getting in my face with that camera again.




This looks like a friendly ghost to me.




I like when Grandma lets me watch Elmo on her tablet.




Oooh, it's really getting good now.
It takes my mind off these new teeth that are popping through.



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.



Visiting Great Gram's dog that I'm not allowed to touch.




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!
