Izzy is 1!

Isabelle is 1! We had her birthday party last weekend in Baton Rouge at Becca's house. It was very HOT outside and Izzy was in a VERY bad mood all day. She could have cared less about the party. She would only go to me or Matt. She was very whiny and cried most of the day. Izzy didn't really care for the cake, but she tore up the icecream. After everyone left she was all of a sudden in a great mood and ready to play. Typical! My best friend Lauren and her baby Caroline surprised us at the party. They live in North Carolina..I had NO idea they were coming. It was the best part of the day.

Izzy has been walking for about a month now. She is all over the place. She can wreck an entire house in no time. She really likes moving the kitchen chairs around the house. No new words. She still says "good girl", "mmm" for moo and "ca" for quack. Along with "dada" and "mom". She knows certain commands, "where's your milk" and "where's lamberkins" (her favorite toy) When I ask those questions she stops what she is doing and goes to find them. That's about it for now. Happy Birthday Izzy!

11 Months Old

I can't believe Izzy is 11 months old! It's just gone by too fast. She is still into everything as you can see from the pictures. She LOVES playing in the tupperware cabinet and helping mommy fold the clothes. She is now drinking from a sippy cup and we started switching her to cow milk this week. Bye, bye formula!!! She took her first steps by herself the other day. She will only take at most 4 steps at a time. She has two new teeth, totalling 4! 3 on bottom and one on top. The top one just broke through yesterday. She has quite the appetite these days. She eats more than I do. We bought her "big girl" carseat and have let her ride around the block in it. She LOVES it. It's very nice to have her face forward. We have started potty training. It's going pretty good. She gone potty on the big potty several times. We still have a very long way to go, but she likes potty time so we do it a couple of times a day. Izzy knows what sound a cow makes. If you show her a cow or ask her what sound a cow makes she says, "mmmm". She also likes to smack her lips like she is giving you a kiss. It's adorable. Her FAVORITE toy/thing in the world is her lamb, "Lamberkins". She carries him in her mouth by his ear all over the place. He used to be a bedtime only thing, but lately she has been freeing him from the crib. I put him in there and 5 minutes later she comes out of her room with him in her mouth. I might need to stock up on lambs, just in case he falls apart from all the "day spa trips", aka washing machine trips he gets. Aunt Cary and Becca came to visit this week. We worked on decorating the baby's room. It's coming along slowly but surely. I think that about wraps things up for now. You'll hear from me again when she turns 1!
