Halloween

We went to a Halloween party friday night! I thought everyone would enjoy our halloween pictures. As you can see Isabelle was a flower, I was a gardener and Matt was..as he calls it, a bag if $#!+..fertilizer! I thought the costumes turned out pretty good. We got home around 9:45pm so I put Izzy down as soon as we got home. To our surprise she slept until 7:30am!!! She slept throught the night for the very first time at 8 weeks old. We were so proud of her. We'll see if it happens again or if it was just a fluke. At least we know she can do it.

The Girls

As you can see, Caroline tried her hardest to get Isabelle's attention. I promise no one was hurt in the photographs! It looks bad, but Izzy took it like a champ!

Best Friends

Here are some pictures from Lauren and Caroline's visit to Olive Branch! We had so much fun watching the girls together. Of course Caroline didn't realize there was another baby until Izzy started crying in the car and Caroline looked over at her like "When did you get here?" After that Caroline was very interested in her new freind. She was trying to grab Izzy's feet and anything else she could get a hold of. It's amazing how much smaller Isabelle is than Caroline and they are only 5 months apart. It will be fun to see how much they have grown in 6 months time. Lauren and I are hoping they will be the very best of friends just like their mommies!

First Road Trip

We took Isabelle on her first road trip to Opry Land in Nashville, TN this week. Matt had a conference there and he invited the "girls" to go with him. Isabelle did great in the car there and back, and she was very well behaved the entire trip! She had a few crying spells at night, but other than that she was a perfect travel companion. While dad was at seminars all day, Izzy and I went to the Opry Mills Outlet Mall pretty much everyday. It is a very big mall so we were able to stretch it out over a couple of days. We had a blast, but we are glad to be back home.

Getting bigger

I've been very bad about updating this site, so I've been told! Well, here are some new pictures. Isabelle is definately growing. She is getting longer and fatter! She is becoming a chunky baby. You can tell by her multiple chins and fat thighs. Her cheeks are starting to be squeezable as well. But she's still so tiny, you can see in the picture of her and Matt laying next to each other. I think she is over 8 lbs now, but we won't know how much she really weighs until we go back to the doctor in November. She's also much more alert now. She stays awake for longer periods of time and she really looks at us. She looks past us alot, but every now and then we have eye contact. I can't believe how fast she is growing!
