Mohawk Baby!

Showing off her style...

We laugh a lot at Isabelle's stand-up hair. We get many comments on it (and people wanting to feel it too). In many of her profile pictures, it appears that she has a mohawk. Rest assure- I would never do such a thing to my baby, but apparently her hair will do what it wants. :)

You can barely see it, but we've started using barrettes to tame her wild hair! I think it's adorable, but I'm a bit biased!

8 months and growing...

I am a bit behind on our blog! August has been a busy month. Isabelle is now completely sitting on her own and starting to act like she wants to crawl. She definitely has a way of getting the things she wants- even if it means she has to do the splits and reach so far that she ends up on her tummy to get it. She just recently got tooth #3... and it was a rough one. Along with that she experienced her first ear infection. It was not very fun for her... or Mommy and Daddy! Isabelle also started daycare last week when I went back to work. She is loving it! This picture was taken at 8 months. I used one similar in our district's beginning of the year slideshow. She was a star!

Isabelle loves Grandma's big pool best, but this pool was pretty fun too.

Getting ready to swim in the big pool!

Isabelle still loves to read her books... and chew on them too.

Isabelle had her first pedicure this weekend! Jason is in Memphis for work. We'll see what he thinks when he gets home. :)

Vacation to Lake of the Ozarks

In July Jason, Isabelle, and I were able to spend a week in the Ozarks! We went with my family and stayed in a house right on the lake. It was very fun and we even managed to relax a little!

Here are the girls in their matching digs from Barbados.

Swimming at the lake for Isabelle meant swimming in the little kiddie pool. I was a paranoid mother and because we couldn't find a life jacket that would fit her, she only went as far as the dock... and then Mommy had a super tight hold. Cousin Jayda loved her swim suit-life jacket combo so much that she liked to wear it everywhere!

(Jason just loves taking pictures!)

Grandpa and Isabelle hanging out on the dock.

(Grandpa's not so fond of pictures either.)

Isabelle learned to play poker while on vacation. Daddy was so proud! :)
