I'm walking!

Look at me starting to walk. I have so much fun and Mom and Dad cheer me on. And so does Ole!
I am becoming such a big girl!

Happy Halloween

I was a monkey! I had fun going to dinner with Mor Far (Swedish for Mother's Father) and Grandma Nancy. Then we surprised Grandma and Granddaddy and I saw on their doorstep after Mommy rang the door bell. They were really excited to see me. Not only did I get candy, but they gave us cupcakes. Mommy and Daddy get the candy but I get the cupcakes. I had one and they are yummy!

Being a monkey is a lot of fun; I hope I can do it more!

Love,

Isabella's 1st Birthday Party!!

Wow, what a blessed year it has been. We can't believe Isabella is already one! She had a wonderful birthday, with a lot of friends and family. Among her favorite gifts were her baby dolls. She is obsessed with babies now. She came home and immediately starting feeding them with the bottle. And she hasn't stopped. She carries the toy bottle around with her to make sure she has it and can feed the baby on demand ;)
I also got a stroller for her baby dolls and she likes to push that around (with or without the baby). She is SO close to walking. I think she will in the next few weeks.
For her birthday, we decided to get a cake with her favorite Disney character, Special Agent Oso! She loved it and wouldn't really it her cake without a spoon or fork. She is very dainty.
On her actual birthday, we took her to Red Robin and they came over singing and clapping and she just stared at them as if asking, is this all for me?

Enjoy her pics!

1 year professional pics!

Here are Isabella's professional one year pictures. She couldn't decide if she really wanted to smile at the photographer, but did a lot after the session was done :)

Wow, Happy 11 Months!!!

I can't believe I am 11 months old. I am going to be toddler in a month. Mommy and Daddy are having a lot of fun with all my changes. I am walking a lot when I hold onto things. I didn't really dig crawling but earlier this week I realized I can move places easier by crawling.

Here are some fun pics from the park today. I went with Mommy and Daddy and Ole, of course. I got to swing and go down the slide with Mommy.

Enjoy my photos! Mommy will post the "photo shoot" pictures tomorrow.

Love,

Happy 10 Months!!!

I turned 10 months old and I have learned lots of new things. I roll over all the time now. I am starting to pull myself to stand! Mommy and Daddy think I am really smart too. I like to copy things they do. I also really like to point at things. But my favorite thing of all is smiling. I love to smile and show my 6 new teeth coming in!

Enjoy my pictures.

Love,
Isabella

9 Month Stats

See how yucky I get when I spit food. It is pretty yucky and naughty but I think pretty funny :)









Hi everyone!

I had an appointment with my funny doctor and he said I am doing great. He said I am exceeding in my fine motor skills and social/verbal skills. I am not that into my gross motor skills but I will be sometime soon, and then I will give Mommy and Daddy a run for their money.
I really like spitting when I eat food. I guess this isn't a very good thing to do. So, Mommy, Daddy, Grammy, and Grandma are trying to teach me not to do that.
I am also getting two teeth, but they are not the usual bottom or front teeth. I am getting my canine teeth both in on top, yep you read that right, I am getting fangs. Mommy and Daddy will get pictures and post them. My doctor said about 1% of babies start with these teeth. I just like to be different :)

I just started finally rolling from my belly to my back. My doctor told me I was silly cause I could roll from my back to my belly, and that is harder. But finally, yesterday, I decided to try the easier one. So, now I can roll both ways! I keep trying to pull myself up soon. I think Mommy and Daddy need to babyproof our house.

Here are my stats from 9 months:

Height: 28.5 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 18 lbs. 2 oz (25-50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17.5 inches (50th percentile)

I guess these are all good since they have stayed in the same percentile every time I go in.

Enjoy my pictures and my video!

Love,
Isabella Anne
