So far behind!

need to start blogging more often. So many things have happened lately I need be better at blogging when they happen so I'm not so far behind.

Any way in order of what happened...Here we go

My awesome sister-in-law was deployed on June 25th. We got to go to the airport to see her off. It was a very interesting and sad experience. We saw so many people with brand new babies and little kids say goodbye to their families. When it came time to say goodbye it was an absolute tear feast. It was so hard to watch my brother say goodbye to his new wife. We're very proud of Jayme though. It's not easy leaving everything you know for a year to serve our country. Thank heaven for all those who are willing to serve our country so we can live the good life.

Girls night out oh yeah!! My sisters, mom, and I went to see Eclipse on opening night! It was so fun. But I don't think I'll see another movie on opening night again. The girls were crazy and there's nothing but hooting and hollering throughout the whole movie. Oh well I love the books and the movie Eclipse was the best so far. It sticks to the book and it was fantastic. I'm definitely Team Edward but after this movie I think I'm also Team Lautner!! Man that boy is beautiful!

6 month stats:

16 lbs 8 oz - 62%

26 inches - 65%

Last but not least Isabelle turned 6 months old on July 12th. I know I say this every time but I cant believe how fast time goes. She's getting so big and I'm loving this age! She has been so much fun lately. She's giggling all the time and is more interactive. She wakes up happy to see us and talks to us all the time. We pierced her ears on July 13th. She cried a little bit but then we gave her a sucker and she was fine. She looks so cute with earing's, I'm so glad we pierced them now instead of waiting. This way she'll never remember the pain and then its all said and done. woohoo for growing little girls!!

Playing catch up

Well another month has gone by and we're into June already. Yesterday Isabelle turned 5 months. She is so funny. My dad had her giggling her cute little head off yesterday. She thinks Grandpa Todd is awesome!

At 5 months Isabelle is:

Kind of sitting up: If you sit her up she stays that way for a little while until she leans to far to one side and over she goes

Sleeping much better: I was getting ready to pull my hair out. I don't think I could have taken another month of getting up 6 times a night.

Eating jarred baby food: So far she loves fruit and doesn't care for veggies. Aunt Courtney boiled some carrots for her yesterday and every time she would take a bite she would shudder.

More active: I cant wait till she can crawl. She wants to go every where and whines until we pick her up and take her to where she wants to go. Yes she's very SPOILED!

Rolling over both ways: She's been able to roll from her back to her stomach for over a month but just in the last couple of days she has learned to roll from stomach to back. Hopefully this means no more waking up to crying baby who wants to be rolled back over.
Scrunch face and hands: For some reason Isabelle has started to scrunch up her face when she smiles. Its so hilarious, I'll have to post pictures of it. She also has discovered her hands. When ever she sees them she'll stare at her hands. She gets a kick out of watching her fingers move.

She's growing up way to fast but we're enjoying watching her figure everything out.

As for me and Jason... We've pretty much been busy with Isabelle, She's definitely a hand full. Jason and I still work together, although I'm still only working part time (which is Awesome by-the-way). Jason is really busy studying to get his CFI (certified flight instructor). He decided he would like to teach people to fly, until the airlines pick-up again. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this happens soon.

As for me I've been sewing and quilting. After having Isabelle my maternal instincts must have kicked in because all the sudden I wanted to start sewing. My very awesome Grandma and Grandpa Bleazard gave me some money so I could buy a sewing machine. (I would have had one already if I had not laughed at Courtney when she got hers for graduation). Anyway, I've always been interested in quilting and after getting my machine I figured Why Not?!?!? So I made Izzy a quilt. After getting the quilt top/back done I sent it off to be machine quilted on top. I got it back on Friday, Perfect timing for Isabelle to turn 5 months the next day. It looks awesome!!! Now I have ideas for a million other quilts that I want to do but I think I may have to rob a fabric store first since fabric is so expensive! :(

4 Months

4 Month Stats:

14 lbs 2 oz - 75%

24 1/2 inches - 64%

Isabelle turned 4 months old yesterday! Isnt she pretty? She's just full of life! She learned to roll over on May 2nd which is so cute to watch. Once she gets to her stomach though she has no idea what to do. She's such a determined little girl. She grabs everything in site and she's so smiley. She loves to jump in her jumperoo or the johnny jumper. She's just a little on the spoiled side...Ok, a lot on the spoiled side, but she's so cute.
Isabelle does not sleep through the night yet but we're keeping our fingers crossed that it happens soon. I'm exhausted! She hates naps but we're trying really hard to change that. She also gets bored really quickly, Maybe she'll be another Preston!!! :) That's ok though Jason and I love to entertain her and so does the rest of our families.
We are loving watching her hit all these milestones and cant believe she's already 4 months old.

First sucker

Here's Isabelle having her very first sucker. She couldn't get enough of it, it was so cute. I thought I'd let all of you see it.

3 months

Isabelle is 3 months old already. She's growing so fast. She loves sucking on her fists and talking to herself in the mirror. She's also discovered she can blow bubbles with her mouth and smack her tongue and lips to make sounds. She's very talkative now but still a horrible napper. Isabelle has been sleeping in her own room for the last couple of weeks now. We were hoping it would help her sleep better at night but its not working. She still gets up 2-3 times each night. Since I returned back to work Isabelle is getting use to being up at 6:30 -7:00 each morning which isn't very fun on my days off. We're loving watching her grown but wish that she's slow down a little bit. :)

HI HO HI HO BACK TO WORK I GO.

Today is my first day back to work since having Isabelle. I had a hard time last night thinking about leaving her while I go to work. For the past 10 weeks she has been my life, I've done nothing without her. Now I just drop her off and head to work. It sucks! I've been at work for an hour and I miss her terribly. On one hand it's kind of nice being back at work. I've missed the people that I work with and having some adult interaction. On the other hand I hate leaving Isabelle even though I know she's taken care of. Can't I just bring her to work with me? It would solve all the issues with coming back to work. To bad it doesn't work like that. :(

Catching up!

Ok there's so much to catch up on, might as well start at the beginning.

Last Sunday Isabelle was blessed at home with 49 people in attendance who love her. It was actually amazing trying to get everyone into our cute little house. I really liked blessing her at home, it was so nice to have the blessing and then right after eat some Delicious food. Jason gave her a very nice blessing, I know he was nervous but he did a great job. I want to say thank you to everyone who helped out in bringing food. It all tasted so good and it was so nice not to have to prepare it all or worry if there was enough. Thank you everyone who came, its obvious how much Isabelle is loved.

Courtney and Doug came up for Isabelle's blessing. It was so fun having them here. Poor little Preston got an ear infection and was pretty miserable the day before the blessing but he seemed to be doing better on Sunday. Drew is so funny and above is a picture of my dad doing some magic with him. He loves it when my dad does magic. He always wants to know how its done. Its so fun to watch his face light up when something "magical" happens.

Last Friday was my Birthday. I had lunch at Mimi's Cafe with my Great-Grandmother, Laveta, we share a birthday :). She's the cutest Grandma, I miss living with her. Then Jason took me shopping where I picked out some very cute new shirts. I love to shop and after having Izzy I definitely needed new clothes. Later we went to dinner with my parents and Braden and his wife Jayme. They took me to Typenaki, it was SO good. I love that place. A little pricey but so good.
Then this Sunday we celebrated my Birthday with Jason's family. They gave me all sorts of good stuff including gift cards for more clothes and hair and make-up products, Love it!

And last but not least. Last Monday our friends Curtis and Alicia had their little girl. We're so happy for them and glad that Isabelle will have a friend. Here is a picture of Isabelle next to baby Haidyn. I can't believe how much Isabelle has grown in only 10 weeks. She looks huge next to Haidyn. It makes me a little sad and I realized I need to cherish each stage of her life. She's growing way to fast.
