Christmas (2 of 2)

So Isabelle had a great second Christmas! We visited with all of her extended families on 5 separate occasions. She got some really wonderful gifts from all her family. Here are a few of my favorite Christmas pictures:

She really got the hang of ripping off the wrapping paper...
Playing piano with Cousin Blayne and Mommy

Spending a little quality time with her loot...from day 1

Isabelle had 2 separate meetings with Santa and scared to death of him both times...thankfully we didnt try the mall santa picture...

Isabelle got a Dora tent and was a little overwhelmed...Mommy is inside trying to coax her in, but it didnt work.

let it snow...christmas preview (1 of 2)

It has been a little while since my last post and I have too many pictures for one post so this will be the first of two posts tonight. It was nice to see some snow around for Isabelle to play in. Unfortunately we have been so busy that we havent been out much. I did build Isabelle a 5 foot snow hill in the front yard, hopefully it will work and she will like it..stay tuned...

Sophie is never too far behind Isabelle...
What a cute little bundle....

Isabelle now has a baby and loves to feed it...

Big smile...reminds me a ton of Gina's baby pictures...

feeding the baby and the pudding mess...

Today Isabelle grabbed her baby, set it in the height chair and started feeding it goldfish crackers, it was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. She also had a pretty cute run-in with a pudding cup (see below). She is pretty good with a spoon but this time she got a little crazy with the pudding. Her language continues to develop really quickly, she starting to put together a lot more 2 word "sentences". We are excited for a little warner weather so we can get out and play in the snow.

pool party

Last weekend we went a water park in Otsego to celebrate Cousin Kaylee's 3rd birthday. Isabelle had a blast! She like the slides, the lazy river, the fountains and just wading in the water. She actually started to dunk her face in the water...I think that is a good sign. She starts swimming lessons next month so hopefully she will really enjoy the water. We had her 18 month appointment last week and is still in the 90+ percentile for height, weight and noggin size. All went well, she even got an H1N1 vaccine.
