Too much fun!!

Grandma and Isabelle the day she left.

Sunday, after church we decided to take pictures because they looked so cute. This is Isabelle with her friend Eli, Cody and Kristen's little boy.
You can see the amazingly cute bow that Auntie Kelly made Isabelle that just so happened to match her Sunday dress that Grandma (Bird) perfectly!

I'm tellin you this face is her new thing!







Daddy and Isabelle
Isabelle chewing on her yummy fist, and sitting like a little girl.

Playing with mommy's hat and seemingly confused.
Great Grandma giving Isabelle loves.

She loved hanging out with Grandma.
Daddy showing where Isabelle spit up on his shirt while they were playing.
Isabelle sticking out her tongue and making one of her funny faces.
Isn't this hilarious? This is her "bitter" or "old person with no teeth" face.







The top picture is Isabelle's first time drinking out of a sippy cup! Yeah, we're advancing into the bigger baby girl phase! The next is Isabelle whenever Daddy comes home. She is always so excited! The third picture was when Isabelle decided that she would actually pose and smile for me while I was taking her picture. The forth picture is of one of the first times when she fell asleep in her jumperoo, like I mentioned below. And this last picture is of Isabelle modeling one of the adorable bows that Auntie Kelly made her.

Well Isabelle is now 7 months old! At her 6 month appointment she weighed 16 pounds and 11 ounces. She was 27 inches long. She is growing so quickly. A few weeks ago a lady asked me how old she was and when I said she was 6 months, the lady said, "Oh, really I would have guessed 7 or 8 months old." I thought it was pretty funny because she does look older. Now she is sitting up all the time. She wants to be mobile so badly. She keeps trying to figure out how to get up so she can walk. She has pulled herself up with her car seat, but nothing taller yet. And still no crawling. Isabelle's favorite pastime seems to be jumping. She even jumps and rocks herself to sleep sometimes. In the jumperoo of course. Although she has been known to jump on people's laps, especially during church. She is talking like crazy, she just said her first word 2 weeks ago. She said da-da. However, she continues saying it over and over so it's like dadadadada. Anyways it's still adorable. She loves to be tickled and to laugh with mommy and daddy! Especially daddy, they have formed this really cute relationship now that she can play with him. When he is home she is constantly looking for him, trying to get his attention, and just loving her dad. Tyler is doing good. He is trying to juggle his job/internship and classes, as well as his calling. It's so nice whenever he gets to spend a day at home, or even half a day. I am currently trying to not completely loose my mind with classes, managing the apartments (Tyler helps with that along with everything else), taking care of Isabelle, and getting things ready for my calling. We are loving it here in Washington, this move was the best one for us. We have been so blessed with such great friends, and we're glad we get to experience this. Well time is of the essence, Tyler's mom is coming in today to visit and we are so excited. Bye for now.
Isabelle sure does love playing with her daddy!

Doesn't she look like the cutest little prarrie dog or deer in the headlights?
Isabelle's playing with her keys.
It looks like she knows they're not the real thing.

Here's another cute daddy daughter picture.


Here's Isabelle after her first encounter with sweet potatoes.

She looks content.

I'm laughing at the mess because I know I am the one who has to clean it up.

Ha ha ha. It's still funny.

Isn't she just so cute in this one? She loves to play with her spoon!

It's only difficult when she tries to play with it while you're feeding her a spoonful.

Isabelle went riding on the lawnmower with daddy
and it totally tuckered her out! She had fun though.

This is our sweet precious little angel!

Ha haha! Mommy, daddy is too funny!

My sides hurt from laughing so much!

This is my tweety bird outfit. Aren't I just cute in this cool hat?

Look, daddy and Isabelle match!
