Isabel is 8 Months Old

WOW!! How time flies! I can't believe how much she has grown. For my birthday she decided to start sitting up unsupported. This month, for her 8 month birthday, she sprouted her first tooth! I forgot how horrible teething is. Oh wait...was Maxwell this droolie? I don't remember.

 So much cuteness!

Starting to like the camera.

Isabel continues to show us her personality. Tonight we decided that she definetly takes after her daddy, while Maxwell takes after me. She is so different then he was as a baby. She is still quite the talker, yeller and squealer. She now lifts up her arms when she wants to be picked up. It is so wonderfully heart warming.
She is working her way around the solid food selections. We have tried peas (not good), carrots (loves them), sweet potato (yum), squash (yum), mango (YUM) and more. She is getting pretty good at it. We are trying to not be so fastidious with her and let her have some fun with eating. Instead of cleaning her up after every spoonful. She has even started smooshing rice cakes all over the place. She is still soooo happy! She thinks her brother is a giant giggle maker and adores his kisses. She even sounds like Maxwell when he laughs. She leans in to our kisses and presses her head against our lips. It melts me!

Super happy baby!

That's my big brother. Nope, we don't look alike at all!!

Unofficially, she is weighing in at about 16 pounds. We have her 9 month check up in a few weeks and I will get a proper weight then. She does seem to be stretching out also. We are slowly moving up in clothes sizes. For the last week or so she has been trying to figure out how to crawl. She was working so hard at it today that she tired herself out and she napped for about an hour and a half. She still isn't the best napper, but she is working on it.

We love her more each day and are so happy she is part of our family.
