Izzy's talking

Izzy's talking. Okay, she really isn't saying words, but she sure tries hard too. She is moving her lips, mouth, and tongue as well as her eyes in a way to show us she is trying. Sometimes I feel like I am having a full conversation with her. She just loves to babble. I even walked out of the house to feed the tortoise and I could hear her all the way outside. So cool!

"What a big girl!"

While we were at my parents house in Orange County, Kari weighed Izzy. She is 16 lbs. Perhaps, someone can tell me one more time, "What a big girl!" Of course she is big. Her father is 6' 6". There is no having a shrimp in our family. It gets to me sometimes and I want to be defensive. She is perfectly healthy and growing just fine. Just because my child looks like she should be crawling doesn't mean or ask for her to be called "a big girl". (Okay, I am done venting).

Izzy's sleeping

Izzy has been doing a pretty good job sleeping lately. We are practicing going to bed around 8pm and she wakes up around 4am for a quick snack and then wakes up again around 6am-7am. Also, she is doing a really good job falling asleep on her own without being held or fed. What a big girl!

Flying with Izzy

Izzy did a great job flying on the airplane to Orange County. She had a little accident while going through security, but slept the whole way down. On the way back up to Sacramento, she got a little fussy at the end. Thankfully, the girl next to us was young and didn't seem to be too upset. I never realized how much stuff you have to take when flying with child.
