Isa at five and six months

What a joy and energy our little girl brings to our family. Isa keeps us smiling with her funny faces, noisy squeals and animated looks. She doesn't let anything get past her. She actually smiles at the camera when it comes out, what a show off! In December she started eating solids, rice cereal at first and then we quickly moved on to other foods, she loves sweet potatoes and bananas. Isa continues to nurse 5 - 6 times a day, so she's growing and enjoying life. On Dec 17, 2008 at her 6 month appointment she weighed 14 pounds and was 26 inches long. She still loves her exersaucer, always in the middle of all the action.

David shows her how it's done
All smiles and ready to eat!
Not so sure anymore
OK, I can get used to this!


Isa's first bite!

Now she just can't get enough!
I can even smile without spitting out my paci!

December 2008 in NH

We started off the month by going to the annual Christmas tree lighting in the middle of the town green, it was chilly, but always worth it. We really enjoy singing the Christmas carols and watching the tree light up, it really kicks off the holiday season.
Early in December there was a terrible ice storm,
luckily we were not too affected by it,
many people were without power for weeks.

After the ice storm, it was super cold!!!!

We visited with our dear friend and family helper Kathy.

And finally here are a few pictures in front of our little Christmas Tree, with the super cold weather we were ready for warmer weather and California.

Some very old posts and pictures

Well I know it has been quite a long time since I last posted, no good excuse except for the busyness of the holidays, travels and visits with family and friends. Since I am a stickler for keeping things in order, bear with me as I finally get caught up. Here is some fun memories from November 2008 :)

Isa loves to smile for the camera


The kids and I frequented the gym
and spent more time indoors
due to the chillier weather
