Getting So Big, Izzy sets up now

Here is our little contender. She loves her bath time.

I'm not holding her up here and yesterday I left the room while she was laying on the floor and when I came back she was sitting up.

Here is one of her waves. She can now wave hello and goodbye. She also can say "Hi" while she waves hello and sometime "Baba" while waving bye.

She doesn't look like a baby anymore.

This is one of her favorite games. I hold her arms up and say "So Big." And she just laughs and laughs.

Here is one of her in her exersaucer.

This was one of my nursing covers that she wouldn't let me use b/c she didn't want it covering her up. Now she doesn't want it NOT covering her up. Too bad we aren't still nursing.

Here she is with my cousin, Ame. Ame and Izzy spend a lot of time together b/c Ame lives close. She loves Ame almost as much as she loves me.

This is a picture on September 20th with the Smith's for Poppy's 90th birthday party.

Izzy just kept hugging and loving on Poppy.

I don't know if anyone is interested but here is the medicine that Izzy takes everyday just to lead a normal life.

Here is Izzy doing her breathing treatment in the morning. She normally sleeps through this one. Soon she will be big enough to do it on her own. Right now I still hold her or watch her closely while she is doing it.

Now for some videos:

Izzy got this toy for her 7th month birthday (didn't get that from me on the video-- LOL) from Granna. She loves it.

Here is a little video of Izzy doing her fish face breathing treatment.

She is really teething. She has 2 teeth (on the bottom) and is working on the two up top.

Ha! Ha! Spin that toy, Izzy! Well, that's all for now. Izzy is feeling a little better and gaining weight again. Her cough is a lot less wet and not as frequent so everyone's thoughts seem to be helping! I hope you are all having a great month! Next time I post I should have pictures of Izzy at her Aunt Ali's wedding!

Love to All!

Izzy's Mommy

We hate winter...

Izzy cultured pseudomonas on September 24th, 2008. We have begun the rounds of mediciations, CPT and trips to Children' s Mercy Hospital. Needless to say, we are exhausted. I don't have much time but I do have some pictures to post. Hope you enjoy!


You don't think I like this dress!

I'm half a year old...

Today was my half birthday. It is also my Granna's birthday. I was sad because I really wanted to see Granna today but I the closest I got was wearing one of the outfits she got for me. Aren't I cute in my little red hat?

I tried to talk Daddy into taking me to Granna's but he said that he had to go to work. So here I'm at on my way to my Chrissy's on 09/15/2008.

The good news is that I get to see Granna next Sunday.

Last Sunday we went to Church with Nonni and Papaw. It is the church that Papa recommended for us. I get to see his friends from the foundation every Sunday. They said that they are going to tease him about getting to see me every week. I wore another pretty dress from Granna with shoes and socks and everything. I'm getting so big. Mommy and Daddy really need to baby proof, because soon I will be scooting around.

These shoes Granna got for me are really yummy.

And my dress had so many neat textures to touch.

Oh, hi!

Wow, I have a lot of people.

Here I am trying to crawl.

Can you see the teeth I'm getting?

I'm a little sleepy!

Look at my belly button! Is this what Mommy meant when she said that I was going to dress up today?

Ha, ha! Papaw is so funny!

Gosh, this teeth are sharp!

See my hair bow.

I like to sit Indian style.

I'm shy.

I can sit-up on my own now.

Mommy may have gotten a little camera happy!

Seriously, I'm getting spots before my eyes from all the flashes!

Ok, fine. But only a few more and these are the good ones...

I like the bow on the back of my dress. Nonni tied it for me.

See its cute!

On labor day my Uncle Justin and my Uncle Nathan came to visit me. They are so much fun! Here we are cheesing out together:

Here's me with Mommy and her brothers.

Finally, Uncle Nathan agreed that I was big enough for him to hold. He sure likes me.

Well, that's it for now. I have to go and pack to go to Poppy's 90th Birthday Party tomorrow. I love you all!

It has been BUSY at our house!

Life at our home has been very busy. Izzy is sitting up on her own and talking to us all the time. She also got to go swimming a few times this summer. She is a water baby.

Izzy is finally getting some hair!

She can say Momma and Dada now but I don't think she realizes that those names are for Jordan and me. Her with Nonni and Papaw being a goof!

Izzy is also started to cry when put down and to avoid eye contact with strangers. Our little girl would rather visit with her 'Press' than people.

We went on an outing on Saturday to "The Big Biscuit" and she was very good, aside from trying to steal my cup. LOL. Wonder where she learned that??

She is eating really well. She has about 5 bottles a day and she has been sleeping from 10pm to 6am at night. We are really excited about that! She is also eating sweet potatoes, carrots, sweet peas, bananas, oatmeal meal, cereal, pears, peaches and squash. Her faces as she eats are adorable. Also, she keeps trying to feed herself and choking herself with the spoon.

She really likes toys and is trying very hard to be mobile. She keeps tasting all of her stuff animals in hopes of finding a delicious one. LOL. So far no luck! Our family found a church a couple weeks ago, we really like it and think we will be going every Sunday morning.

Finally, once again let us review that we have been very busy and IZMO (me) is very tired from all the running around. Just look at these dark circles under my eyes.
