Twinkle, twinkle

Isabel loves the moon and the stars. She scours magazines and books looking for pictures of them, and if she happens to spot the moon outside during the day it is quite the event. I cut out some stars for her this weekend with the intent of putting them up on her window, but she had different ideas. She likes to lay them out in "lines" on her chair, her bed, the windowsill, whatever...

Daddy Fun

Isabel loves her daddy. And she loves to roll over top of him! He makes such a good obstacle.

Sydney the Cat

Sydney the Cat lives on our block, and frequently comes to visit. He spends most of his days laying in our front bushes trying to stay out of the sun. Isabel LOVES Sydney, and he is one of her main topics of conversation every single day. We talk about what Sydney eats, where he sleeps, the fact that he has ears and eyes and whiskers and whatever, that his tail tickles her nose when he walks by, that he poops on our neighbors tree, and any other topics that she can think of relating to him. Her day is complete when he actually lets her pat him!

Being a Big Girl

I'm sorry we haven't had many posts lately. It has been quite a challenge to take Isabel's picture lately. Most picture taking experiences end with her trying to get the camera and lots of pictures of her hands reaching out.

Daddy finally decided he had a use for the extra bricks we've had in our garage for seven years. So as he was moving them out back Isabel "helped" by putting on mommy's gloves and running around like a crazy woman (her words, not mine).

Happy Birthday Grandma

Isabel saw her friend Grace wishing someone a Happy Birthday so she had to join in the fun. She's been singing and saying Happy Birthday ever since. I wish I could figure out how to rotate it the other direction, but Grandma we think you'll enjoy it anyway.



Happy Birthday Mom!
