fun with friends!

today was Isabella's first time hanging out with her friends Landen and Andreas together. Me, Erika, and Amy wanted to some shopping at the Indy Kids Consignment sale and then went out to lunch. It takes Isabella a while to warm up to new people. At home she's wild and crazy, running around the house talking all the time, and of course having a few temper tantrums. When she's around new people she just observes quietly. She doesn't say anything and usually stays close to me. Eventually she feels comfortable enough to talk a little but nothing like when she's at home. Tomorrow is Andreas's first birthday party and I can't wait to see how she does with all the other kids there. Here are some pictures of Isabella with her friends.
On Monday I'll be 28 weeks! Starting the third trimester. Crazy! This also starts the Dr. appts every 2 weeks now. I feel bigger and bigger each week now! I just bought the bedding for Grace's room and a few cute summer dresses! I really wish I could start putting her nursery together but Isabella is still using the crib. Not sure when we'll move everything into Grace's room but I can't wait!

27 weeks!

My big girl!

Yesterday Isabella moved up to the next class at daycare. This is the fourth room that she has been in so you would think that it wouldn't be a big deal, but I was kind of sad. This room is for 13-18 months but the kids only move up when there is an opening in the room. Isabella is almost 15 months and is just now moving. The difference is that in this room the kids walk to the cafeteria instead of eating meals in the room, they sleep on cots instead of little cribs, and they only take one nap instead of two! This is a pretty big change! Her teacher was very excited for her to move up because there hasn't been any girls in that room for months. So yesterday when I picked her up she was in pig tails! Her first pig tails! She was just so precious but I wanted to cry! It was like one day she was still my baby and then yesterday she really wasn't my baby anymore, she was my little girl! I know I'm going to have a baby soon so we'll be back in that baby stage for a while, but it's still hard to see Isabella growing up so fast and moving out of her baby stage. Just look at how cute she is! I could just eat her up!This week I am 26 weeks in my pregnancy which is almost unreal to me! I can't believe how fast it's going this time. She'll be here so soon. I was a little late at taking belly pictures this time. My first one with Isabella was at 18 weeks and my first one with Grace was 21 weeks.

21 weeks



26 weeks

well, it's been a long time! Isabella has changed so much since the last post. (of course since the last post was when she was 5 months old and she is now almost 15 months old!) Life these days consists of chasing Isabella around the house since she can now walk and run, play with toys all day long, have many fun babbling conversations, and snuggling, but only in about 30 second increments before she runs off to do something new! She is my angel! Every day I look at her and think to myself how incredibly lucky I am to have her in my life. She's everything to me! I wish I would have posted something for each of her milestones, but at least I have kept up with her baby book! Right now she has 7 teeth, still sleeps 11-12 hours at night, has been done with bottles for over a month now, eats all kinds of foods, talks all the time but is shy at first when in a new environment, dances when she hears music, shares kisses with Dave and I, and so many other precious things with something new almost everyday!

In June our life is going to be twice as busy when we welcome Grace Elizabeth into the world! Tomorrow I will be 26 weeks! This pregnancy has flown by! Every week goes faster than the one before. I was so nauseous again in the beginning. The good thing about this pregnancy is that it ended around week 15! So this time around I can just enjoy being pregnant. She is so active now! Squirming and kicking all over! I love to just sit on the couch at night and feel her move. I can't wait for her to come! To have my two daughters together! I love saying that, "my two daughters!" My newest cousin, Joshua Michael, was born today and it just made me even more excited to hold my own baby!

I'm not as good at taking and posting pictures as I used to be, and my computer is so old I stopped using it. Now this computer won't open a memory card :o( Maybe next time I can put some pictures on Dave's new computer, the only worth while computer we have!
