We continue to feel more and more blessed each day to have Isabella in our lives.  She is a very happy baby, always smiling and laughing.  She loves attention from anyone she meets.  Isabella also LOVES dogs!  Any time she sees one when we are out in public she laughs and squeals with delight!

Letting her hair down!

First time dipping toes in the water.

We’ve had a busy couple of months and exciting as well.  Isabella has gotten her first two teeth… bottom front ones.  She has also started crawling and now picks herself up onto her feet as well.  She is crawling and climbing everywhere!  She is happy and healthy and loves exploring everything she can get to!

6 months old!  Still happy and healthy.  Eating some solid foods.  No teeth yet.  She’s trying to crawl but not able to yet… wiggles around a lot, reaches for things… so we think she’ll be crawling soon!

We have been busy since the last update.  She was baptized in November and experienced her first Thanksgiving.  She is very happy and healthy.  Every day we are more and more thankful for the greatest gift that we have ever received.  We hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas.

Love,

Dana, Brian, and Isabella

Happy and healthy!  Eating well, sleeping well, and growing quite a bit!

Isabella is continuing to do well.  She was last at the doctor about a week and a half ago and she weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces.  We’re sure she is even more now.  She is eating well and generally seems happy.  She is starting to smile a lot and is keeping her hair too!  When she is awake she seems very alert and active, always kicking her hands and feet.  She seems to enjoy going for walks outside, which we do several days a week and loves the mobile over her crib.  Enjoy the pictures!

Three weeks old!  Has gained a full pound since she was born.  Is now 7 pounds, 6 ounces.
