Hanging out at home

My Daddy was watching TV one night and I wanted to spend time with him so I found me a nice little spot on the couch. I was having a lot of fun talking to him. My Momma thinks I look like a grown up talking because of my expressions. I don't think so though I was just babbling to my Daddy.

My Many Facial Expressions

Just a few facial expressions coming your way. To brighten your day. In every possible way. Momma and Daddy laugh at these every day.

I hope you do too and that is all I have to say.

Sit Up Straight

It is official I can now sit up on my own without any help. I accomplished this task at Mr. Mika and Mrs. Kristin's house this past Friday night. My Daddy has been saying it would happen soon and he was right. I know that it makes him proud to see me sitting up. It is alot of fun to sit up on my own. I cannot figure out why Momma and Daddy laugh every time I fall over it must be reverse psychology.

Lunch at Ms. Emilys

Today was the first time I had to have my clothes changed because I made a mess. with my lunch. My lunch today that Ms. Emily was feeding me was prunes and peas. When she wasn't looking I grabbed the bowl of peas and dumped it in my lap. I kept eating the prunes and I like peas too, I just decided it was time to play with my food. My Momma and Daddy better watch out now.

Oyster Roast + Concert = Family Fun at a Wildlife Benefit

My Momma and Daddy are really trying to culture me in South Carolina. I have officially been to two Oyster Roasts and Concerts. I am getting to experience alot of the local bands such as the Blue Dogs, Red Dog Ramblers and The Occassional Milkshake just to name a few. I even got to meet some of the band members from Hootie and the Blowfish. I am turning into a groupy even though I am fast asleep.
This gives Daddy a chance to eat oysters and Momma to enjoy her hot dog. Usually I sleep through the first few bands in my sling. I know when it is time to wake up because Daddy starts dancing with Momma and I am in the way sort of. I think it is Daddy's way of saying he wants to dance with his little girl. I love dancing with Daddy it is so much fun. He always holds me close to his chest to make sure I stay warm. After all the dancing was done we took some time out for a family picture since this was my First Wildlife Benefit. I was ready to go home at this point but Momma and Daddy would have liked to stay.

Who Do I Look Like?

My Momma and Daddy think I look like the kid in A Christmas Story.

What do you think?

Those Blue Eyes

My Daddy has blue eyes you see
Just like me
Our eyes are as blue as the sky
Even when we laugh or cry
We wouldn't have it any other way
To laugh and sing when we play
This is just one piece of the pie
That makes me sparkle in my Daddy's eye
I love to make him smile with delight
Every day and every night
It is very clear to me
The love he has for little peanut - that's me

Everything Must Be Perfect

Just like my momma I have a tendency to be a little bit obsessed about some things. My Momma likes things to be just right and as you can see here I had to make some adjustments to my dog on myExerSaucer for it to be just right.
This is currently one of my Momma and Daddy’s favorite pictures of me. So they asked me to share it with all of ya'll.

Momma and the Spoon vs. Isabella's Hand

I have been learning all about what foods are healthy for you since I have started eating 'Baby Food'. I have been enjoying new foods for a little over a month. I am mastering the skill of keeping the food in my mouth and not spitting it out (as much), trying to use a spoon.

When I was at Grandma's she really enjoyed feeding me. At Grandma's I was really only eating squash and rice cereal. Grandma taught my Momma a trick about keeping my head still when we don't have my high chair and that is holding my head. When Grandma was not holding my head in place I would try to move as much as I could so she couldn't get the squash in my mouth. Momma was glad to see Daddy put my high chair together when we got home. Now it is really hard to run away from the spoon. The next phase in my learning to eat is the big battle with Momma and the Spoon.

Since I have been home from Grandma's I have been exploring different foods. Some of my favorites are Ms. Emily's sweet potatoes and banana's. While learning about what foods are healthy for you like squash, sweet potatoes, rice, oatmeal and banana's, the battle began.

Momma and the Spoon vs my Hand.
Momma was trying to feed me oatmeal and banana's for breakfast. I am not a big fan of oatmeal, Momma says it taste better with sugar on it but I am not allowed to have sugar just yet. I kept trying to get out of eating the oatmeal but it was not working. The banana's were much better than the oatmeal but Momma insisted I had to eat oatmeal too. Momma didn't realize that I was practicing ways to steal the Spoon away from her. Finally all of my practice paid off. It just took patience in waiting for the right opportunity when Momma wasn't paying as much attention to me as she should have been. That is when I WON the battle! I grabbed it right from her hand. She tried to pry my hand off of the Spoon but I wouldn't let go. I think she was tired of trying to get it from me and just gave up. Thinking that I would let her keep feeding me but she was wrong. I knew once I got my hands on the Spoon I would not have to eat anymore oatmeal. I didn't have to finish my oatmeal but I did have to go take a bath because I had oatmeal all over the place even in my ears.

Santa Claus Visits Me

Naughty or Nice these are 2 very important words when it comes to Santa Claus. I learned really early that being nice would pay off in a big way sooner or later. Lucky for me it happened on Christmas Eve Night when I was asleep, Santa Claus came to Grandma and Grandpa's house with 2 special toys for me: an ExerSaucer and a Baby Doll. I was so excited to get them both. Everyday I get to play in my ExerSaucer working on coordination, pulling, turning pages in my book and dancing. It is a good workout for my little body. In my ExerSaucer I can see Abbi (my dog) really good. She even comes over to give me kisses. When she walks away and I want more kisses I follow her with my eyes to try to get her attention. Unfortunately this usually doesn't work until she is ready to give me attention. Someday she will realize who the real boss is and that is ME!

Momma only lets me play with my Baby Doll when she is right there with me. I think she is afraid Bailey (my dog) will try to get her. I am still trying to decide what to call my new doll. I have a some time before I get to play with her without supervision.

Christmas Presents + Bows = Rolling Over

Finally I get to see what all the hype is about with the Christmas presents. Momma, Daddy and I unwrapped all of those presents Momma was wrapping. I got a lot of new toys from Daddy and mostly clothes and girlly stuff from Momma. Daddy was having fun when we were unwrapping presents he kept putting bows on my head. It was alot of fun. When I got to Grandma and Grandpa's house there were more presents. I helped Grandma wrap her Christmas presents. My momma must have told her what a good helper I was when she was wrapping. Something extra special happened when I was helping Grandma though..I rolled over! Grandma put presents all around me so I could see the pretty bows and after a lot of trying I rolled over onto my belly. Now I have been rolling all over the place. Since I have started rolling over I realized that I can get to all of my toys with out Momma and Daddy helping me.
