It has been an exciting 2 months! I have started eating meats (I Looove turkey!), oatmeal, different fruits and vegetables. I even can have a little water out of a sippy cup (which i had mastered on the first try)! I can sit up all by myself! I have started to use some sign language. I can tell my mommy and daddy when i need a diaper change, when i am hungry, and when i want to pet the doggie. I can also say mama, dada, and baba. I can roll over to what i want. Like the other day i wanted my mommy so i rolled into her lap!
Today we had our pictures taken! Mommy said i did really well! I am curently 19lbs and 27 inches long! I can not wait till Christmas.......I like to play with paper and boxes! Merry Christmas all!!!

Hello Family! I have started daycare! I have a good time with all the other children, but i do have a hard time sleeping! I have also started solid foods. The rice cereal was a little bland, so my mommy gave me some brusselsprouts. The flavor was a little surprising to me! I love to suck my hands and my thumb. I have started to pull myself up when i am sitting on mommy's lap. My last doctor's appointment went well. I am pretty advanced for my age. I can stand up and hold my weight (Dr. Costlow says that its a 6 month ability!), I am now 16 pounds and 25 inches long. I love to talk and watching football with my daddy.

Sorry it has been so long since we posted an update. It has been really hectic around here. Isabella had her 2 month check up today (which included shots). The doctor said that she is a four month old developmentally, meaning that she can prop herself up on her knees and elbows and have her head up at the same time (i.e. crawling position). She wants to be mobile very badly. she loves to stand up (with help of course) and take in her surroundings. she also smiles when you talk to her. she is growing very quickly. she is 23 inches long (75th percentile) and 12 pounds (90th percentile). We are really excited that she has started sleeping between 6 to 8 hours per night.
Mommy has gone back to work.....and leaves Bella with daddy. Chris has figured out Bella's cues and has become a pro. Mommy also starts school on monday and she cant wait to get back despite the huge amount of work she has to do in five weeks.

Hello all! Bella is doing well. She has had her 2 week check up with her pediatrician. The doctor said that she has surpassed her birth weight (she is now 8lbs 5oz). She is also sleeping through the night (except for the nights that mommy has some spicy food). She eats like a horse and does not cry that often.
As for mommy, she is healing well. The doctor said that she can drive again. That made her very happy. She is still off work and will remain so until sometime in July. She is in no rush to go back yet. She is still working on school work that is due tomorrow.....
Daddy is coping with a new job and Bella as well. He leaves for work at 6a.m so a crying baby at 2 a.m. isn't pleasant. He loves being a dad. they are inseperable. At this point Bella gets more love than mommy or daddy...lol.
there are some new pictures posted on the photos page..check them out!!!
