Ah...this week has been an interesting one. This week, my work dropped a magnificent bomb on our family...but....this blog isn't about me. Isabelle, for her part, has helped me to remember what is truly important.
Isabelle now gives the standard kisses of a toddler-to-be...the full face, open mouthed, face plant. It's hilarious. I don't know where she picked this up yet, unless she just took Dan and I giving her kisses and adapted it to her own method. She also gives hugs of her own accord, but doesn't know their name yet. She continues to be quite snuggly and is working on knowing who mom and dad are by speech. This seems to be challenging, but I can tell that she's trying so hard to imitate us. As far as other speech goes, this week she's working on her F's FFFFFFFFFFFFfff... Aside from that, now when she babbles, sometimes it sounds like she's speaking her own little foreign language, complete with inflection.
She still has a cough at night and in the mornings, but it doesn't really seem to be bothering her too much. She's still backed off the formula, but she continues to eat well on solids, so we're not worried. Tonight Dan grilled steaks, and she helped me eat mine with great gusto along with corn and some tater tots.
Here are some recent pics:
Izzy loves her books....right now more for emptying the shelves than for reading. The books rarely look this orderly
Izzy, clad in only her diaper, vaulting over Magnum after having a bath. Aren't baths supposed to relax children?? lol ;) (And yes, that IS American Idol in the background, we try to catch it every week. Izzy's current favorite is the gal with pink tipped hair. We stop and turn every time she sings...)
I KNOW Mom is behind this stinkin' camera SOMEWHERE! Come 'ere! I want to give you a kiss!
Finally! I was able to get a picture of Izzy smiling that shows all of her emerging teeth.
