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.

2 months

Isabelle is 2 months old! She is getting to be so much fun! She smiles so much and she's talking up a storm. I cant wait until she starts laughing but I'll defanitly take all the smiles. I'm pretty sure she doesnt want to be a baby any more. She's always moving her arms and legs and she wants to sit up so bad. She's a pretty busy baby. She still doesn't have much hair but if she's anything like me she wont get hair until she's 10. She's in love with her hands right now. She sucks on them like crazy, its mostly her left hand but sometimes her right hand finds it way to her mouth as well.

Isabelle had her 2 month appointment and man is she growing. She grows so fast i cant believe she's not my little newborn baby I brought home just 2 months ago.

Here are her stats:

Weighs: 12 lbs 1 oz - 81%

Length: 22 1/2 inches

See what I mean about getting big. She's my little chunky monkey. She has so many rolls she look s like a popped pillsbury dough boy can. She sure is cute though, we like them on the chubby side. We're going to be blessing Isabelle this sunday so I'll post about all the fun of blessing our baby next week.
