This is Tinie and Isabella taking a nap together.  Tinie usually avoids Isabella so I had to take advantage of the rare opportunity.

An update on the house

Here are some pictures of how far the house has come.  We were told it would finish between the end of January and the end of February.  We were told today that it will actually finish in the middle to the end of January!  We are so excited and can not wait to be in this amazing house!

Christmas / 3 months

Here are her Christmas/3 month pictures that were taken on December 4th.  THey took quite a few considering she was not interested in sitting still for them.  She likes to move around way too much for professional pictures.  What is funny is how much she was smiling and laughing with my parents and I before we went in with the professionals.  She is ornery.

We were just about to start the 3 month focused pictures but she had had enough.  So we left it with this.  The name plaque was made by our friend Lea McFall and was just so cute and perfect for the pictures.

Pictures at 3 and a half months old

These pictures of Isabella in the yellow dress are from just a few days ago.  The weather here got to almost 70 so we got to put her in a summer dress.  She was sitting up well in the corner of the couch and looking so pretty that I just could not resist taking her picture.  You can also tell from these pictures just how much she is enjoying her feet now days.

These pictures are of her playing on the floor the other morning.  This was a time when I was sure she was about to roll over.  But no luck.  This is how far she has gotten though.

Pictures

These pictures are from the first time Uncle Mike and Isabella met.  She was so excited to meet him that she just kept smiling and making noise.  The picture of her with her tongue almost out was taken right after Mike had his tongue out at her.  I think they will be long time friends!

Her first almost nakie baby picture.  This was taken last night.
