got the 4 month giggles!

Here's how happy our little girl is...
She went in for her 4 month checkup yesterday (doing great BTW - stats below) and got 4 heartbreaking shots in her cute little chubby thighs. Then the Dr advises that she get some Tylenol for potential fever and irritability, but does she need that? NO WAY! She's just too happy. Check out this video below. Right after getting home from the Dr visit, her Aunt Amy and her Mommy were FINALLY able to catch one of her little giggle sessions on camera.



And now for the growth statistics:
Height - 23.75 inches - 28% (yeah we're all short. So what's new?)
weight - 12 lbs. 2 oz. - 20% She's a petite one ain't she?
Head Circumference -16.25 inches - 58% We already knew she's a smart one!

Cuteness overload

Tonight (Monday) I was giving Isabella her bedtime feeding and she started getting fussy in the middle of it. Normally, we can move her around a little or burp her and she'll settle down enough to finish her bottle. Tonight, she finished all but one ounce of it ONLY after I found JUST the right spot for her to get comfortable. She drank all she could before going off into dreamland!



Now all we need are some kittens to really send the cuteness factor over the edge!

Isabella's Big Adventure

Isabella got to go to Monterey, CA with her mommy and daddy. One of her daddy's friends was retiring from the Army and she got to meet all of his family and see the beach and go to a party. It was a very full trip. She didn't really care that much about the airplane ride there and back so she just slept through it which made her mommy and daddy happy.
































She got to meet lots of sisters, and brothers, and nieces and nephews and cousins and grandparents and even though they weren't her family, they treated her just like she was part of theirs and everybody loved her. She got so many compliments on how pretty she is and everybody wanted to hold her and take their picture with her. She liked being treated like a celebrity. Mommy and Daddy missed holding her all the time, but we also enjoyed sharing her with our good friends.

3 Month photos

We had pictures taken again to help preserve our little girl's stages of growing. These are her 3 month photos. As you'll see some hair days are better than others! :-)

3 Months Old!?!?

We can't believe how much our little one is growing. Today is her 3 month birthday and I took this picture of my sleeping angels. :-)















Later it was tummy time!

Yap yap cooo yap yap

We've already mentioned how Isabella is such a morning person. She's at her happiest and now, her most talkative in the mornings. Here's a sampling.

Still growing

She's getting bigger every day. She's also becoming more responsive to things around her. It's amazing to watch human development in it's early stages!



















She also watched the super bowl with us and saw first hand what I've been saying all along. Tom Brady is an average QB with an exceptional offensive supporting cast. He's received FAR too much credit for their success all year and the Giant's Defense proved just how average he really is!
