wordless wednesday

oh my goodness...

...Is that not the sweetest face ever!?!!??
Okay, maybe I'm a little biased but she sure is darn cute :-)

two month stats

A little someone turned two months old a handful of days ago. I took her for her two month check up on the first. The girl weighs 12 lbs. 3 oz. and is 21 1/4 inches long. She's in the 10th percentile for her height, 80th for her weight and her head circumference is in the 50th. She's growing, growing, growing!


Isabelle Grace is such a joy to our family. One of my favorite things so far is watching her and her big sister fall in love with eachother. It really is the sweetest thing. Why didn't anyone tell me :)?!?! Anna-Kate's affection towards Isabelle melts my heart. It really does. I can't believe I've had the privilege of taking part in creating these two amazing little girls! Wow. Wow. Wow.


I've noticed this past week or so that she is becoming so much more content chilling in her cradle while looking at her mobile, hanging out on her play mat, in her bouncer or swing without much of a fuss. Before, she wouldn't pitch a screaming fit or anything she just didn't want to be there and would get fussy. I think a lot of it had to to with her tummy problems but since that issue has mostly resolved itself she is a pretty pleasant little gal.


She smiles at the drop of a hat now and "talks and talks". I love hearing her little raspy baby voice. AH! So cute! I'm pretty confident that she's 100% sure who her momma is and the others she'll figure out later. They don't supply the goods so she's not that interested. HA! But she's content with someone else handling her for a LITTLE BIT but not much more than that. I sure hope she grows out of that soon. Momma could REALLY afford some time without ANY kiddos. Although, after both girls were in bed for the night (lastnight) I got to sneak away to the store and pick up a late night "snack", which turned out to be more of a meal, and a movie-Old Dogs=pretty hilarious!


We're kind of coasting into a routine finally. For the first month and a half I kind of let her do what she wanted. Eat when she wanted, sleep when she wanted, etc. Now she goes to bed anywhere from 1o-10:30PM (I just lay her in her cradle and turn her baby Mozart/Beethoven/Bach mobile on and she goes night night) and sleeps until around 4 (she's been doing that for a little bit) and then wakes up again around 7 or 8 to eat again. She then stays up for about an hour and usually insists on mommy time while big sister is still sleeping and then crashes in her swing for a couple of hours. Usually we end up going out for errands or a play date during that time so I just transfer her from her swing to her carseat and she pretty much goes right back to sleep. The rest of the day is eat, play, sleep.


I am IN LOVE with this little girl! Thank you God for another sweet healthy baby.

pictures for a friend

Yesterday I took some pictures of a little girl for a friend of mine. I had so much fun and really enjoyed photographing someone other than my girls although I DO ADORE them! I thought it was going to be easy peasy because she's five months old, can smile at the drop of a hat and she's not quite mobile yet, right? NOT right. The girl is pretty much crawling, rolls all over the place and even pulls up. Yeah, that didn't make for quite the easy session I was hoping for but it was still fun. And it helps that she's just precious.
