Thursday picture

Just more proof that she's getting so big and she can sit up by herself :)

After school project

So I felt like I needed to take a little time to do something non-school/non-teaching related and for ME to keep me a little sane this week. All the school work I brought home will have to wait till after Isabelle is in bed tonight.

Rainy Monday

As I sit here in my portable at the elementary school listening to the raining POURING down and dreading that I'll have to go out in the rain again soon, and missing my little baby at daycare, I thought I'd post a picture I took on my cell phone the other day.

At last....

Well the last month has been quite busy to say the least. Being back to work and juggling the beginning of the year craziness, teaching lessons, coordinating babysitters....just trying to stay on top of everything right now. Updating the blog hasn't really made it onto my to do lists lately. But enough about me...

Isabelle is growing quite a lot and developing so much. She weighed in at almost 14 lbs at her last appointment 3 weeks ago so I'm sure she is above that by now. She's rolling over every time we set her down on her back and likes looking around. She likes to "read" while on her tummy too - too cute! She's pushing her self up with straight arms too - looks like she is doing the yoga pose Cobra. She's trying to get her knees up under but hasn't quite coordinated that with the straight arms yet. It's pretty amusing to watch her face plant as she tries to pull her knees up. She just started sitting up with her arms propping herself up. And after a visit from Tim's mom (who is a physical therapist) this weekend, she can sit up without supporting herself with her arms. She looks like such a big girl! She's also really fond of the "mmmmmm" sound - I guess this is normal??

Sorry no pictures to share this time...I've sort of forgotten to take any pictures lately since the time I get to spend with Isabelle I'm so wrapped up in just getting to spend time with her. There will be more pictures to share soon!

Maybe I'll have stay-at-home-dad Tim start blogging :)

And then we go south...

OK so the last few weeks have been a little hectic which is why I have yet to get around to posting anything about our trip south that we took IN JULY!!!
