It is hard to believe you're already a year and a half. It's even more unbelievable how much you've grown in just the past three months. Looking at my last post, I still see my sweet little baby Isabelle. Now, you are a full blown, independent, confident toddler with boat loads of spunk! I mean, are you kidding me with that look?!<br />

You have almost all of your teeth now. The only ones missing are your four eye teeth... Your hair is getting longer (which is hard to tell because it's so curly). You've also grown about two inches and gained about 3 pounds. I swear you get more beautiful every day. We still get stopped practically everywhere we go by people commenting on your big blue eyes or curly blond hair or how you look just like the Gerber baby.<br />

Your daily schedule consists of happily waking up sometime around 7:30. I am alerted by your singsong voice babbling and singing away. You prefer to wake up slowly (just like me), so I leave you be for a bit while I get myself and Jax ready for the day. Then you have breakfast, get dressed, and we take Jax to preschool. Then we go to the gym, or to ECFE, or (if we're having a lazy day) we just go back home and hang out for a few hours before we pick up Jax and have lunch. The problem is you often fall asleep in the car, which has messed up your naps a little bit. You seem to believe that a 5 minute car nap is equal to a two hour nap in your crib. At least once or twice a week you completely forgo your afternoon nap (which leads to a very cranky Izzy by about 4pm). This winter bedtime has been pushed earlier and earlier. Most nights you are asleep by 6:30 or 7pm. I guess I can't complain too much about the naps since you sleep so well at night!<br />
<br />
You are becoming a great little helper and seem to have inherited my desire for orderliness (something the male members of our home lack). As soon as we enter the house you take of your coat and hang it on your hook and you have me help take your shoes off, which you then place nicely in the closet (along with any other shoes that happen to be laying around the mudroom). Whenever you hear me open the dishwasher you come running to help. You've actually gotten really good at putting away the silverware, measuring cups, and your sippy cups and bottles. You even put your dirty dishes in the sink and throw away your garbage! It's really quite impressive!<br />
<br />
Your vocabulary is expanding rapidly. Some of your favorite words include dirty (see above), mine, no, more, yay, banana (you would eat three a day if I let you), bottle, KG, and mommy. You also love pointing to and naming body parts.<br />

It seems like so long ago, but we had a great time celebrating Halloween. We went to a haunted horses night at our favorite pizza farm. You loved watching the chickens and got to go on your first carriage ride.<br />

We also went to downtown Victoria's Halloween party and on a Halloween story trolley ride. The trolley ride was a little too long for your taste. Thankfully, a bottle prevented you from having a complete meltdown. It was a close call, though.<br />

You absolutely LOVED trick-or-treating and lasted way longer than expected! You toddled along with Jackson and our next door neighbor and went up to every single house they went to.<br />

Which meant it was time for the Christmas festivities to begin! Of course seeing Santa was top on the list! You were definitely a little apprehensive at first. You watched Jax and Santa for a little bit before you went to sit by him.<br />

Another highlight was the North Pole Express (which was actually in downtown St. Paul). You were very entertained by the singing and dancing elves, as well as Santa. It was a much more successful trip than the Halloween ride...<br />

Christmas itself was fun, but busy! Jackson was up before the sun (as usual) because he was so excited to see what Santa brought. You, on the other hand, were less than thrilled to be awoken from your beauty sleep. (We did make Jackson wait an hour to let you sleep, which was pure torture for him, so give us a little credit). At least you found a comfy new chair to sit in...<br />

...and a cozy new bunny pillow to cuddle with. It took a little coaxing to get you to open your presents, but eventually you got the hang of it, which was good because you had lots more presents to open at Grammy Ginny's and at Grammy & Papa White's houses that day.<br />

You are a girl on the move and practically run everywhere you go (probably because you are trying to keep up with your big brother). You can climb up and down stairs and love sitting in chairs at tables. You've earned the nickname "go go girl" at ECFE because you just love exploring every inch of the room.<br />
<br />
You still just have your two top and two bottom teeth up front, but all four of your one year molars have broken through now. You're teething a little out of order, but the dentist assured me that you will get your other teeth eventually. Ha! Anyway, you're getting by just fine with the teeth you have for now. You are an excellent eater! As soon as I bring you downstairs in the morning, you walk over to your high chair (which is your way of telling me to feed you). You will eat pretty much anything we put in front of you, which I am so thankful for. Much to my surprise, we are not done nursing yet. At this point we're down to one nursing per day or even every other day. Most often this happens after your nap. You point to your rocking chair and pull down my shirt while grunting... That's my cue. As I said before, I am savoring these moments.<br />
<br />
Your hair is getting longer (and curlier). In fact, it is now long enough for a cute little pony tail!<br />

Your little personality is really starting to emerge- you are extremely sweet, funny, sensitive, and tough. You LOVE to give out random kisses and hugs! You're also talking more, well it's more like babbling, but I'm starting to make out more words. You say dada, mama, Ja (for Jax), KG, hi, uh oh, ba (bottle, blanket), mo (more), ya (yes, but you usually just nod yes), and no, no (again, you usually shake your head no, except when you're really mad, then you use your voice), and wee (your favorite). Most recently you've been saying "o is it?" while pointing to or holding up and object. I have a feeling it won't be long until you're talking non-stop (like your big brother).<br />

Your sleep schedule is still pretty predictable. Your bed time and wake up time have shifted a little earlier to account for us getting Jax to school by 9. You typically are asleep by 7:30pm and sleep in until 7:30 or 8am (or until I have to wake you up). You are down to one 2 hour nap around noon. You seem to love your bed and go down without a fuss (most of the time). (I know I shouldn't even be mentioning that because it could change any day, but I am crossing my fingers that it stays that way!)<br />
<br />
The most exciting event over the past few months was your Aunt Nicole's wedding! It was in Tofte, MN along the North Shore. We spent the long weekend in a beautiful condo, overlooking Lake Superior, with grammy and papa. We were a little nervous for the 5 hour drive because you have never been in the car for longer than an hour or two at a time, but you did great (until the last half hour or so). Thankfully, most of your ride was spent like this...<br />

The wedding was beautiful! I was standing up for Auntie Nicole throughout the ceremony and was afraid that you'd start crying for me, but you behaved yourself. Thankfully, you were even able to sneak in a little cat nap between the ceremony and dinner! (You were getting a little feisty at that point.)<br />

A couple of weeks later we headed up north again with our family friends. We visited Itasca State Park where you got to ride on daddy's shoulders through a redwood forest.<br />

You also got a tour of the Mississippi headwaters (led by your brother). I think he was hoping that you would dive in with all your clothes on (like he did on his first trip there), but you were much more <strike>civilized</strike> cautious.<br />

Besides that outing, we spent most of the time at the resort. You had a great time playing with your friend Camden and her big brother. You loved sitting at the beach and playing with the rocks and sand, but didn't really like getting wet (except for your toes).<br />

...or sleeping in a pack and play. We have been so spoiled by your excellent sleep habits, that this came as a bit of a shock. You basically would only sleep ON me... (Which meant I got no sleep). I would try to transfer you when I thought you were sound asleep, but you would wake up shortly after. Unfortunately, the lack of sleep caught up with daddy and I and we ended up leaving a day early. It was a bummer, but we were all in desperate need of our own comfy beds.<br />

Oh my sweet, sweet baby girl I cannot believe that you are already one. I know I've said this a million times throughout the past 12 months, but I cannot get over how fast the time has gone. It has been so amazing watching you grow from an 8 pound tiny infant, to a bubbly, sweet, WALKING toddler. That's right- you're officially walking now! You started taking several steps in a row about a week before your birthday. You're not super fast yet, and you look a little like Frakenstein because you hold your arms straight out, but you definitely walk more often than crawl. It's so cute!<br />
<br />
Over the past month your hair has gotten longer and curlier (and even a little blonder). You've also gained two top teeth, bringing the total to 4 teeth (plus a little bit of a molar). I still always hear what a beautiful baby you are and that you look just like a doll or the Gerber baby.<br />
<br />
You continue to be an excellent eater. You'll eat just about anything that we put in front of you, except for bananas and avocados. I think I may have fed you too many of them over the past couple of months.<br />
<br />

We've also started to introduce whole milk and have started to wean you off of formula. My goal was to make it to a year nursing, but now that we're here I don't think either one of us is ready to be completely done with it. Most of the time you seem to prefer a bottle, but you let me know when you'd rather nurse (by pulling my shirt down). This usually happens first thing in the morning and before bed and sometimes after your afternoon nap. I'm savoring these moments because I feel like we're nearing the end.<br />
<br />
As far as sleep goes, you've gotten into a pretty predictable routine. You typically go to bed around 8:30pm and get up around 8:30 or 9am. You like to sleep in like your mama! (I don't think your brother has ever slept past 7am in his life, which is just like daddy). When you wake up, you like to just hang out in your crib for a while babbling and singing. On the weekends, if there's time, I bring you back into bed with me and we snuggle and nurse for at least another half hour. I savor those moments. Thankfully, we've had the luxury of slow mornings this summer. It's going to be a little trickier this fall when we need to get Jax to preschool by 9am four days a week. <br />
<br />
We have had all sorts of fun this month. We went to another pizza night at a Two Pony Gardens. The theme was honey bee pizza night. You loved exploring the gardens and watching the animals (especially the chickens and horses).<br />

We also celebrated your last "first" holiday- the Fourth of July! It was a nice hot day and we got to spend it at your great uncle's pool. You aren't a huge fan of being in the water, but you floated around for a little bit...<br />

Of course the most exciting event of the month was your first birthday party! We celebrated with family and friends the Sunday before your birthday. It was all things pink and gold glitter!! (I had just a little fun planning and decorating!)<br />

The only snafu at your party happened when it was time to sing happy birthday and blow out your candles. Mommy was busy snapping pictures and daddy set your cake in front of you. Jackson was trying to show you how to blow out your candle, but you touched it instead and burned the tip of your pointer finger. You didn't want anyhting to do with your cake after that...<br />

The next day we tried again because I really wanted to do a little cake smash session with you. Well, I think you had a little PTSD because as soon as we set the cake down in front of you, you started screaming and crawled away, knocking the cake over in the process. Poor girl! I hope you're over it by your next birthday!<br />

You also LOVE to cuddle. Anytime you see a stuffed animal, or pillow, or blanket you give it a big hug and bury your head in the coziness. It's so cute!!</div>

It ended up taking three rounds of antibiotics to finally get rid of the ear infection that I mentioned last month. Both times we went in to get your ears re-checked both the doctor and I were shocked that they were still infected because you still seemed as happy as could be. The first time I had them checked just because we happened to be at the doctor with Jackson for his asthma and an ear infection. (I don't know why you guys have been sick so often this summer!) I was so thankful when they finally cleared up because it sounded like tubes would have been the next step. Hopefully, that's the end of them (at least until winter).<br />
<br />
Not only were you dealing with a never ending ear infection all month, you also broke some teeth! Your bottom right tooth broke through first, followed by the bottom left. I can also feel a little peak of a molar on your top left. (I often have my fingers in your mouth fishing out random items you've found around the house).<br />
<br />
Despite all of that, you had a pretty fun month. You're still not quite walking, but you have taken a step here and there. You are an extremely fast crawler and furniture cruiser (and climber), so I just don't think you're all that motivated to walk. You can also stand up completely on your own now (instead of always having to pull up on furniture).<br />
<br />
Your vocabulary consists almost entirely of the word "hi" which you say to just about everyone that crosses your path (accompanied by a wave). You also occasionally say dada. You babble constantly and have also started to nod your head yes (I have not encouraged or taught you to shake your head no!) You also love to give kisses and are always puckering your little lips up, hoping to catch a kiss from someone...<br />
<br />

We've been on so many fun adventures this summer. You just love tagging along and have even started to do some exploring of your own (although you are quite entertained just keeping an eye on your brother). We went to Lake Harriet a couple times and you got to explore the band shell for the first time.<br />

Another highlight was a trip to the Walker Art Museum. You wouldn't think that an art museum would be a very fun place for two little ones, but the first Saturday of the month they offer free admission for families and have several child friendly activities. You and your brother had so much fun exploring all of the nooks and crannies of the museum that we didn't even make it to the kid stuff!<br />

You've developed a mega-watt grin, complete with a crinkled nose, and sound effect (which is a mixture between a pant and a hiss). You do it when you're really excited about something- whenever you see food coming your way, when daddy gets home from work, and when you hug your favorite toys...<br />

Although you are not quite walking yet, as predicted, you are <i>very</i> close. Nowadays, when you're not able to cruise around furniture, you crawl more like a gorilla than a human baby...<br />

I seriously believe that walking would take less effort, but you seem to like traveling around this way. I like it because it keeps your clothes clean, especially when we're outside... You've also just started to stand on your own. One of the first times you did this was when we were at the Arboretum. Jax and I were holding your hands and then let go and you stood all by yourself for several seconds!<br />

Jackson had to tell everyone that we passed, "My baby sister can even stand all by herself now!!" He is such a proud big brother!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it has been a little bit of a rough month. Not only is teething in full effect, you have been battling an ear infection and cold.<br />
<br />

When I brought you in to the doctor, I thought for sure that you had pink eye because you woke up with your eyes completely crusted shut. It turns out, it was just from your extreme congestion. The doctor checked your ears and said they were on the verge of being infected so he prescribed an antibiotic right away (I was so thankful). After a few days, your crusty eyes cleared up and you seemed much happier.<br />
<br />
Finally, this month we celebrated your baptism. You were the only one being baptized that day, so you had your own little private ceremony while daddy, Jackson, and I watched. Your godmother (Aunty Nicole) and godfather (Uncle Sam), Great-Grandma Idell, Grammy Ginny, Grammy Mary, Papa Tom, Uncle Tim, Aunty Selina, and cousin Bradley were there to celebrate with you, too! You looked like such a little angel that morning in your gown (which was the same gown Aunty Nicole and I wore for our baptisms).<br />

Just look at that sweet little face! Anyway, as you can probably tell from the pictures, you are a girl on the go! You prefer crawling and cruising around furniture to cuddling these days. Both your pediatrician and your ECFE teacher think you'll be walking by 10 months! Your favorite pastime is climbing the stairs, which has become an issue because daddy and I have yet to find a baby gate that fits the bottom of our stairs properly. You knocked over and scaled the first one we attempted and climbed right under the bench I tried to use... This look says it all, "Just try to stop me, mom..."!<br />

I think your perseverance and tenacity has a lot to do with trying to keep up with, and be like, your big brother... We're starting to hear a lot of the same words that people use to describe him, to describe you. Words like busy, independent, confident, outgoing...<br />

Of course, everyone comments on how cute you are, too. Seriously EVERYWHERE we go people stop us to tell me what a beautiful baby you are and what gorgeous big blue eyes you have.<br />

You seem to enjoy the attention because you love saying "hi" and waving at people passing by. Speaking of, you are up to three words now: dada, mama, and hi! I can't tell you how excited and happy it makes me to hear you say mama! I just can't get enough, even when it's coming from your room in the middle of the night!<br />
<br />
You continue to eat like a champ, even though you're still a toothless wonder. You've gradually started to eat more and more finger foods and less purees. You haven't met a food that you dislike! I'm not sure if it's due to the extra food intake or your disinterest in sitting still, but I've been nursing you less often these days... You typically nurse really well first thing in the morning and just before bed, but during the day, I really struggle to get you interested for longer than a couple of minutes. (Minutes in which you are climbing all over me and trying to keep an eye on what's going on around you. You've even figured out how to nurse standing up!) Even though it breaks my heart a little bit, I think the weaning process has begun. I'm still planning on continuing until you're a year, but instead of nursing 5-6 times a day it seems we are down to 3-4 times a day...<br />
<br />
The month started out with the biggest snow storm of the season. I bundled you up in your brother's old snowsuit and we went out to make a snowman (your first snowman ever and Jax's first of the season). You were not amused. (I promise that I had mittens on you, but you refused to keep them on your hands). I think you share my dislike of winter (especially winter in April)...<br />

Thankfully, the snow melted quickly and we've finally started to enjoy some warmer days. The nicer weather has brought more playdates! You've loved getting out and exploring parks with your little friends and brother.<br />

Last week, we had our last Baby & Me class for the year. We had a great class and I really enjoyed the little bit of one-on-one time it provided us. (And Jackson enjoyed playing with all of the big brothers in the next room).<br />

Although, I have to admit, I love these outtakes even more because they perfectly depict your spunky little personality. I could just eat you up. I seriously wish I could freeze time right now because it's <i>such</i> a fun stage! We even share the same excitement over a trip to Target (I hear you Izzy-girl, look at that empty aisle)!<br />

You are an expert crawler and are also getting the hang of cruising around furniture. Just today, you figured out how to climb up stairs! There's no stopping you!<br />

In other developmental news, you're starting to babble more. We hear da-da quite a bit, but you seem to call everyone that, so I don't think you've attached meaning to it yet (although I swear you say it every time you see daddy when he gets home from work). You also have just started to wave- it's not super coordinated, but we can totally tell what you're trying to do. I will have to get it on video before next month's post. You have also started to shriek at the top of your lungs as a form of communication. It's become a game that you and your brother play- you shriek and then he shrieks and then you both giggle (while I plug my ears). KG even joins in the fun sometimes and starts howling... (Have I mentioned that our house is a circus).<br />
<br />
You started some finger foods this month, too, which you just love! I think peas are your favorite. You've also had some green beans, potatoes, cauliflower, cottage cheese, and various bits and pieces of anything soft that we're having for dinner. (You really liked my chicken pot pie). You still don't have any teeth, but you seem to be pretty proficient at gumming foods. You're also getting faster and more accurate delivering food from your hand to mouth (instead of grabbing a fistful and dropping most of what you picked up, you can now pick up a piece with your thumb and pointer finger and put it in your mouth). Meal time is filled with squeals of delight and lots of pounding on your tray for more!<br />
<br />
Sleep has become somewhat more organized over the past month. It hard to get you into a solid routine because we're often out and about with your brother's various activities, but thankfully you sleep really well in the car. These days you go to bed around 8pm and sleep until 8am (when I usually have to wake you up so you can nurse before we bring Jax to preschool). Most nights you wake up once (around 2 or 3am) to eat and go right back to sleep, but sometimes you put up a fight. AND, every once in a while, you sleep a full 8-10 glorious hours in a row!! I'm hoping to see more and more nights like that in the near future- I feel like a new woman after getting a nice stretch of uninterrupted sleep. Your naps are getting a little longer now, too. You typically take two or three, 1-2 hours naps a day (depending on your previous night's sleep).<br />

The weather has slowly, but surely been getting nicer, which means we've been able to get out for more walks and trips to the park. You love riding in the stroller (probably because you have your own personal little entertainer standing right in front of you).<br />

He really is the best brother a girl could ask for. He loves you so, so much! He turned four this month and, in planning his birthday party, he wanted to make sure that you were invited. He even said that he would always invite you to his birthday parties- how sweet is that?! Gives me tears!<br />

My hubby started a new job (with a new treacherous commute), we celebrated a 4th birthday (Jackson) and an 11th birthday (KG), among many other things. My husband's new job has brought some re-prioritizing of my time and our time as a family. I've come to realize that there are just not enough minutes in the day to commit to a full 365 photo project, without digging into our very limited family time. I've also decided that I will be cutting way back on the business side. That being said, photography is a passion of mine and I definitely will not stop shooting (or learning). Instead, I'm going to let the pressure of getting an amazing shot every day go and just take my camera out when the mood strikes or when there's a momentous occasion to capture (or when my son wants to play photoshoot- yes he actually asks to do that sometimes)! I'll be posting as time allows. As always, thanks for looking! Also, be sure to follow the circle around to see what my talented friends have in store this week.<br />

Next, be sure to continue the circle and see what Melissa, of <a href="http://www.melissapizzalato.com/blog">Melissa Pizzalato Photography</a>, captured this week. She is a fellow Minnesotan and such a fabulous photographer. I've even had the absolute pleasure of working with her (and have some of her photos hanging on the walls in my house)- she did my maternity photos and Isabelle's newborn photos! Enjoy!</div>

You've made some pretty huge developments in the past month, my little Izzy. Well, actually in the past few days... All month you showed signs that you were determined to crawl. You started by getting up on your hands and knees and rocking, then you started to army crawl. After a couple of weeks you could go a couple of strides crawling, but had a hard time keeping your arms and legs coordinated (which led to some pretty epic crashes and some frustration).<br />
<br />

<br />
Just a couple days ago you got it down pretty well! Now you're cruising all around the house (and keeping me on my toes)! Here, I found you gazing out the patio doors...<br />
<br />

<br />
You're also at the stage where you are picking up every little crumb you find and putting it in your mouth. Let's just say that the vacuum has been getting quite the workout!<br />
<br />

Another huge milestone this month is that you pulled yourself up to stand. This one came out of nowhere! I had set you in your crib (to keep you contained for a minute) and when I came back in your room you were standing up, holding on to your crib rails, with a huge smile on your face. I was shocked!! (I think this is more typical around 9 months...) I called Jax in and we sat you back down and you proceeded to do it again while we cheered you on. It's only been about a week since you did this for the first time, but you're already crawling over to the ottomans in our living room and pulling yourself up on them and have even started to take a couple of steps while holding on to them. I don't think you can wait to chase after your big brother! (Lord help me!)<br />
<br />

<br />
Sleep has continued to be a challenge. Naps have gotten a bit more organized, but you're still waking up pretty frequently during the night. Not long after you turned 6 months, your pack and play broke. Okay, <i>I</i> broke it while standing in it to get a better angle for a picture. (Don't worry you were not in it when that happened). Anyway, it was really a blessing in disguise because it forced me to start putting you in your crib to sleep. You slept through the night the very first night in your crib. I was so excited and thought maybe that was the key all along. Well, I guess it wasn't quite that simple... I still think you might be teething, although I don't see or feel any coming in yet. Maybe all this crawling around will start to tire you out more!<br />
<br />
My other theory on your night time waking is that it's associated with your new found separation anxiety. Oftentimes when I go out of your sight you have a complete meltdown. It makes me feel so bad! It makes daddy feel bad, too, because he can't do anything to calm you down. I secretly kind-of love it because your big brother was, and is, a total daddy's boy. (Although, I think it is mostly attributed to the fact that daddy is lacking mammary glands and, to be fair, that's out of his control). Thankfully, we don't need to separate very often. I'm just soaking it up while I can!<br />
<br />
Besides the obvious crawling and pulling up, there have been so many other little things this month that are a testament to how quickly you're growing up. We packed up your bumbo, bouncy seat, and swing, which you were clearly outgrowing...<br />
<br />

You continue to eat like a champ. We've introduced all kinds of blends and you seem to like everything (including kale, spinach, and brocolli). We also introduced yogurt and puffs which you can now feed to yourself! You also try to feed yourself with the spoon, but that doesn't go quite as well. Most feedings end with food in your hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and covering your clothes (and often mine too) because of our tug of war with the spoon...<br />

You had your first trips to the Como Zoo & Conservatory and to the Children's Museum this month! You slept through most of the animals, but woke up in time to enjoy the beautiful flowers at the conservatory. (That was my favorite part, too!)<br />

Finally, we took a little family getaway to an indoor waterpark in Wisconsin. You donned your first bathing suit and got to splash around in an awesome zero-depth kiddie pool. You were a little unsure of it all at first (I didn't blame you because there was a lot of splashing going on around you), but you warmed up quickly. You especially loved sitting in front of the bubblers and feeling the water in your hands. You also liked going into the deeper water with daddy and I. We all had a great time, although I can't say we got much sleep. Jax declared that he wanted to go home to his Georgie sheets and I think you missed your sheets, too, because you were up every two hours throughout the night. On a positive note, you slept almost all the way there and all the way home, which made for a peaceful roadtrip.<br />

Whew! What a month! Now, can you do me a big favor and slooooow down!! I'm just not ready to give up your squishy baby cuddles and I feel like this stage is just slipping through my fingers.<br />

I'm going a little free-form this week (again). I shot everyday, but didn't end up with much I loved. Instead, I'm including a few extra from the Valentine's Day shoot I did with the kiddos. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day!</div>

24|365: Isabelle is becoming little Miss Independent lately. She loves spending time on the floor rolling around, playing with her toys, and practicing her planks. It's so much fun to watch her, but I already miss snuggling her all day.<br />

Oh
my sweetheart, how has 6 months already passed?! Although it feels as
if you've been a part of our family forever, I can't believe that you're
already half way to your first birthday and doing things like eating
food and sitting and <i>almost</i> crawling! The newborn stage just whizzed by! You're wearing 6-12 month clothes now, too, and I'm pretty sure you're working on some teeth. You chew on everything and constantly smack your little gums together.<br />

You
started out the month with another bad ear infection. Since you had
two, back to back, the doctor prescribed a stronger antibiotic this time. While it
seemed to do a better job knocking out the ear infection, it caused
some major tummy issues. The pharmacist warned me that the antibiotic
may cause "problematic" diarrhea... If you ask me, all diarrhea should
be considered problematic. Well, it became clear after two days that we
had passed from just regular diarrhea to problematic diarrhea. (We're
talking <i>massive</i> blowouts multiple times a day- as in up the back, out the front, <i>and</i>
out the sides). The pharmacist recommended giving you a pro-biotic a
couple times a day to ease your tummy. Thankfully, it seemed to do the
trick, and we avoided any major blow outs while celebrating the holidays
with relatives. Whew!<br />
<br />
With all of your ear and
tummy issues (and possible teething), came continued sleep issues. Not only have naps been scarce,
you've been waking in the night again and the only thing that will calm
you is nursing. Even
now that your ear infection is completely better, we're back to one or two night time feedings... I guess I got spoiled
with you sleeping through the night so early! I'm hoping that you're
just going through a growth spurt and that it will work itself out soon!<br />

You
love eating and are getting really good at it. We just started some
blends and you seem to like everything you've tried (although you prefer
fruits to vegetables). I think your favorite right now is a
plum/apple/barley blend! You're still nursing about five times a day and
taking a few supplements a day. You're getting pretty good at holding
the bottle yourself, too!<br />

<br />
You're
also becoming little Miss Independent! You used to be happy spending
the day on my lap, or in my arms, but now (if you're not nursing) you
squeal and squirm until I put you down. You just love hanging out on the
floor with your toys (and brother).<br />

This month, you've perfected the art of sitting. You went from supporting yourself with your hands to balancing upright in a matter of days (just after you turned 5 months).<br />

You've
also been using your floor time to play with your feet and strengthen your core. You
have just started lifting up your tummy and rocking on your hands and
feet. I don't think it will be long before you're crawling (you're
getting pretty frustrated with this immobile business).<br />

17|365: Jackson was so excited for the kite festival. We bundled up, packed the car with the ridiculous amount of gear necessary when leaving the house with a toddler and baby, and drove 45 minutes to the event only to have poor Jax step into an ice fishing hole about 2 minutes after we arrived. Even though he was soaked and freezing, he refused to leave until he got to fly his shark kite. Thankfully, there was some nice wind and he was toasty warm in the car just a few minutes later. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
With the new year, I have decided to start fresh with my 365 (among other things, but that's another story). We rang in the new year with a fun family game day and popped the confetti (and champagne) around 3 o'clock. None of us made it to midnight... Since, it has been pretty ridiculously cold (and we have all been passing around various viruses) we spent a lot of the week hibernating at home. Besides a brief warm-up, when we went out sledding, all of my photos were taken at home. Sorry for the monotony! Hopefully, we'll all be feeling better soon and the weather will improve so we can get out a little. I get so uninspired in the winter time, but there's nothing like the incredibly talented ladies in this group to get the creative juices flowing!

<div style="text-align: left;">
The past couple
of weeks have been a flurry of holiday activities! We had an abbreviated two week stint from Buddy the Elf (apparently he had a hard time finding our new house). Lots of fun on the snow and ice. Jackson was fortunate enough to get some one-on-one time with Santa- they had a long conversation about reindeer and marbles. (Although he was a little suspicious that this Santa looked different than the one he met at the mall)... We crafted a new baby's first Christmas handprint ornament and hung it on our tree. Of course all this excitement ended with a visit from Santa. (Isabelle was most enthralled by the wrapping paper and ribbons scattered all over the floor). It is so fun to experience the joy and wonder that this time of year brings through the eyes of your children. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!</div>

Oh, my little sweetie, you are not looking like your usual happy, smiley self in the picture above because you have your first ear infection. An ear infection so bad that the doctor described it as "horrific" (cue MAJOR mommy guilt). Jax, daddy, and I had all been passing around a pretty nasty cold for about a week. You didn't have any symptoms for a while and, just when I thought you had been spared, you got a runny nose and cough. A few days later, you developed a fever and would hardly sleep. We knew something was definitely wrong, so I brought you to the doctor. (I'm so glad I didn't wait any longer!) You're on antibiotics now- I sure hope that does the trick. I hate seeing you in pain! <br />
<br />
Your sleep has been a little out of whack with your cold and ear infection. You've been waking in the middle of the night some and haven't been sleeping in as long. You're still sleeping in your little pack-and-play in our room, which I'm afraid might be part of the problem. My theory is that daddy's snoring wakes you up. Or, it could be because you hardly fit in the pack-and-play and no longer sleep with your arms swaddled...<br />

On the bright side, your naps are starting to
become a little longer and I have even been able to get you to nap in
your crib. With the darkness and quiet of your room, and a little white
noise, you've been known to nap up to two hours! This is by no means the
norm, but at least we seem to be headed in the right direction.<br />
<br />
Probably the biggest development over the past month has been the introduction of solid foods! We've started pretty slow and easy with rice cereal, apples, sweet potatoes, and peas. You even tried a little bit of mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. You're definitely getting the hang of eating and don't seem to be very picky. <br />
<br />
You've continued to refine your rolling skills and can get across the room pretty quickly! Another one of your favorite pasttimes is bouncing in your activity center. You are getting so strong!<br />

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we were lucky enough to celebrate with both sides of the family. We went to your great-aunt Char's on Thanksgiving day and to Grammy Ginny's the Saturday after. I know I already posted a picture of this, but I have to include another one of you in the turkey crown. Jackson was so excited to pass this tradition on to you, but you didn't seem to be very amused... Sorry.<br />

Once Thanksgiving was over, we started preparing for Christmas (okay I'll admit that we might have put up our tree <i>before</i> Thanksgiving this year). We made a handprint ornament to remember your very first Christmas (of course Jackson helped).<br />

Last, but not least, you got to meet Santa!! Well, sort of. They distracted you while I sat you on his lap so you wouldn't be scared. I'm pretty sure you had no idea what was going on... or maybe you weren't scared since you had your big brother close by to protect you...<br />

So, it seems I can only handle about a bi-weekly post. I think I'm going to go with that for the remainder of this year and then try to step it up in the new year. (There's another one for the resolution list!) Anyway, the past couple of weeks included more practice and play in my mini in-home studio. I got a new gold bokeh backdrop that I had to break in before a client session. It also included a coffee date with my little munchkin (where I got in the frame), a pretty epic fort that Jax built for Izzy, and an impressive act of strength by my mighty 4 month old. Finally, I included a landscape photo of the winter wonderland we woke up to one morning last week. It was stunning!! Unfortunately, I only had about ten minutes to spare that morning, but I'm happy I was able to capture it... If it happens again, I have a whole shoot planned out with the kids! (Please tell me I'm not the only one that does that.)</div>

And just like that winter is upon us! Over the past two weeks the temps dropped rapidly and we got our first measurable snow. Jax couldn't wait to try out the little hill in our backyard. At least someone in our house was excited about the snow! We also celebrated Izzy's 4 month birthday and Thanksgiving. (Jackson was more than happy to pass off the turkey headband tradition to his sister...)</div>

My little Izzy, now you are a spunky and sweet 4 month old! I say spunky because you have found your voice and just love to shriek and coo and giggle. Yes, I said giggle!! You have the most amazing little laugh and I work day in and day out to hear it. You continue to amaze us with your strength. One day after you turned 3 months old, you figured out how to roll from your tummy to your back. I had put you on a blanket in your room for a little tummy time and then proceeded to straighten up a little. When I looked back at you, you were on your back. At first I didn't believe that you had actually rolled over- I figured I just forgot to put you on your tummy. I put you back on your tummy and you immediately rolled over again! (You showed me!)<br />

Since I'm a little late in posting this, I feel like I have to add that exactly one month later (one day after you turned 4 months) you rolled from your back to your tummy! Unfortunately, I missed this momentous occasion as well. I knew you were really close and had been watching you like a hawk the day before, determined to see it. The next morning, about 10 minutes after I had left the house for a photo session, I got a text from daddy that you did it! I was so bummed to have missed it, but luckily he got the second one on video, too. You've already practiced putting these moves together in order to roll yourself off your playmat. It's still a lot of work for you, though, so you can't get very far, very fast <i>yet</i>. I'm trying to enjoy these last few months (or weeks at the rate you're going) with only one mobile child because I will surely never be able to sit once you're both on the move.<br />
<br />
Other observations about you at 4 months:<br />
<br />
You have the most beautiful, big blue eyes I have ever seen! Daddy isn't convinced that they're going to stay blue, but I think they are.<br />

Your hair is starting to get a little bit lighter- it's more of a medium brown now than black. It's also pretty wavy when dry (as you can see from the tuft sticking up in the picture above) and curly when wet.<br />

You continue to rock your nighttime sleep- we typically get a stretch from about 9pm-7:30am. Although, I have to admit, you still sleep swaddled in a pack and play in mommy and daddy's room. I know we should probably transition you to your room, but I hate to mess with anything when it's going so well. Naps, on the other hand, we really need to work on. As in getting you to take them. I think part of the reason you sleep so well at night is because you hardly nap AT ALL. You take 20-30 minute cat naps here and there (typically in the car). I got spoiled because the first couple months of your life you could sleep through anything. You usually napped in your swing right in the midst of the chaos that is daily life in our house. Now, all that noise and sunlight keeps you awake, but you totally fight naps upstairs in the dark and quiet of your room. (I think you're afraid you'll miss out on something- just like someone else I know). Your doctor said that daytime sleep should start to get more organized around 6 months, so at least we have something to work towards...<br />
<br />
Finally, you celebrated your first pretty major holiday- HALLOWEEN! We love Halloween at our house (in fact mommy and daddy were known to throw a pretty epic Halloween party back in the day). I am pretty sure it is your brother's second favorite holiday (coming in just behind Christmas). We went to a party in downtown Victoria and one at the Arboretum. Jackson dressed up as a fireman and you were his trusty dalmatian side-kick. You two made a pretty adorable pair!<br />

It was pretty cold Halloween night, but we made it a record of 6 blocks (or so) trick-or-treating. Jackson was a trooper! (I think the fact that candy was involved increased his pain threshold). You started the evening bright eyed and bushy tailed...<br />
