week 45...

the weeks seem to fly by...
isla at 45 weeks!

i just love that cute laugh!

isla loves to pull all of her toys out of the baskets!  she is such a good girl and puts it all back... then pulls it out again! :)

so serious about her toys!

just playing in my diaper... cutie!

isla hiding abby's toys under the couch...

how cute is that little face!?  when we play hide-n-seek isla has figured out too look under the couch and find me... and she thinks its hilarious!!!

taking a walk with nay nay!

having a little picnic outside...

i love lazy mornings with the family...

love you isles!

week 44...

44 weeks old!!

happy!  loves those numbers...

isla loves her toys.  she stacks everything and puts all her toys and puzzles in her pot.  it's so funny to watch her crawl around and pick up everything, put it in the pot, then dump it out and start over!

isla has been standing on her own for long periods of time.  no steps yet!

she loves to clap!  it was so funny watching the golden globes because every time the stars would clap for the winners isles started clapping... so cute!

here's a little video of her moving from the ottoman to the couch.  she gets more and more brave...

you can really see isla's little personality coming out these days.  she is the sweetest girl.  she gives big smiles to everyone we see and kisses to anyone that asks.

love you little lady!
mommy has some serious 1st bday planning to do...

10 months!

happy 10 months little lady! 

i can't believe it's almost been a year.  it has been the best 10 months of our lives.

my favorite things at 10 months:

your precious dance moves

you love to clap

you give sweet kisses

you wave 'hi' and 'bye bye' to everyone

playing hide and seek is your favorite game

you love when we chase you... it makes you giggle so loud

you love food.  any food.  all food.  (that's my girl)
you love other kids
you throw all your toys out of the bath tub then put them back in the tub
you are into everything
you like to hold our hands and walk
you love music
you still hate being in the car seat... oh well...
you are a very social little girl
you are a good sleeper (thank you)
you crawl so fast and make this cute grunting noise... i love it.
you get so happy when you see us walk in the room

you are such a sweet, happy, smart, funny, and beautiful little girl.  we are so proud to be your mom and dad.

love you isles!

i like to dance!

isla found her moves!  

she started dancing this week and it's hilarious.  

any time music starts playing she shakes her head and sways back and forth... it's just too precious!! 

maybe one day she will be one of those girls on so you think you can dance that makes me cry every time i watch because they are so incredibly talented... it all starts here right!?
here's a little peak (ok, she mainly just watches the kids on tv dance and sing but it's still cute).
and she almost takes her first unassisted step before she realizes what she is doing...

p.s.  thank you fresh beat band for all the

 catchy songs that get stuck in my head for weeks!

week 43...

43 weeks old!

i seriously cannot believe how fast the weeks go by!

such a silly girl...

nay nay and pops bought isla a swing for christmas... she loves it!  

can't wait for some warmer weather so we can enjoy it a little more.

we made a trip to texarkana for williams birthday party.  and of course i didn't take any pictures... not sure what i was thinking!  it was a good, quick trip.  isles met lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins for the first time and nanny (her great grandmother).  it was good to see everyone but sad not having vicki there.

isla got some cute toys (thanks bill, donna, kim, and hannah).  she loves playing with her tea party set.  it cracks me up how she stacks everything on top of the box...

we got to see linds, jack, and jet on our weekly northpark trip.  the kiddies love the turtles and ducks!

these two love each other!  isla is fascinated by kids and jack is so sweet to isles.  lots of hugs and kisses. 

she tried so hard to climb up the wall... it was so cute watching her!  she wanted to play like the big kids.

isles and daddy...

we love you isla grace.

 more than you know...

week 42...

we finally got to see nay nay and pops!  it was sad not to see them at christmas but we had a fun visit after...

isla finally got to meet her great grandpa grace...

all the boys with isla!

enjoying some avocado and black beans... yum!  the girl is such a good eater... she definitely get's that from her mom!!  she will literally eat anything (at least for now) and i'm so thankful!  

we got to meet sarah for lunch this week.  it was so good to catch up.  love you say say!
