week 3...

i know two posts in one day... incredible!  

miss isla is 3 weeks old and i can't believe how fast the time is going.  she changes so much every week and i'm glad i have all these pictures to look back at one day.

mimi and grip (joe's parents) came to visit for the day and we all enjoyed having them here.
check out that serious look she is giving me!

doesn't isla look so small in grips hands! 

(in case you are wondering where the name grip came from, our 

nephews gave him that name because of his strong, firm handshake)

love her!
and she loves her changing table (and paci).

she is much more alert this week and just stares at everything.  it's so fun watching her 

discover the world around her.  

she doesn't love bath time yet, but she does love cuddling up in her
towel afterwards (and so does mommy).

week 3 we had newborn pics taken by our dear friend kate.
kate and i go way back to our college days and it was so great to see her and spend the day with her, not to mention the fantastic pictures she took!  we took some at the house and then we got a few at the dallas arboretum before i had a minor incident with a punctured foot, followed by an afternoon in urgent care (i know exciting).  here is just a sneak peak at her work and don't worry i will let everyone know when all the pics are ready!  thanks kate!
