Paint

Ive been painting Izabel and visiting Travis aunt who came to town from Tennessee. So It taken me longer then should. Now I am doing the trim in the Brown. Her Room going to be pink with brown trim. Will get you pictures when it done. Also Travis aunt paints pictures etc. She painted every grand kid. Well not her grand kids she doesn't have any, but her sitter grand kids all 7 of them a picture to hang on the wall. Izabel got a pretty picture of bell. I love it.

Izabel walking

The first time Izabel took some real steps was at grandma house but didnt get the camara out. Next time she took some steps I got a video of it. It short and sweet. Hope you enjoy it.

Just few Steps

I know it not alot but Izabel walked from side of her playard to the yard other side of the playard before falling. Well Ok she only walked halfway. The doctor said she shy and afriad to walk. Meaning that she can walk if she wants just wont. Well everyday she getting more and more brave. When she seems me watching her standing there not holding on she get very shy. SHe will either grab hold of something or fall on her butt. So when she walked and then fell, I claped my hands and she claped to let her know she did a good job and I was proud of her.

Second Mothers day

Sunday will Be my second mothers day with you Izabel. It cant belive you are almost 16 months old and trying to walk. I know you don't walk on your own yet but you get around pretty good while holding on to something like your walk. I cant wait for the day you are walking on your own. Every second with you is a blessing. I am so blessed that you came in to my world. Izabel I love you more then words can say. You are the queen of my heart.
You know 5 words now, but sometimes all you will say is Dada and you think it funny to call me dada when dada in the room. Its actually kind of cute that you think eveyrting is dada.
Its funny when your eatting and you dont want anymore food and you make this scrunch up face as to say I dont want any more. Or if you know your suppose to eat a certain amount of your food of your tray you will hide it behind your back/butt. I always check there so you don't get away with that one.

Izabel you are just one smart cookie. I love you very much. More then you can ever Imagen. I promise to allways love you and protect you, each and every day. When you fall down I willbe there to pick you and hold you. Not for very long as you don't like to be held for long. I just want to say Thank you Izabel for making me your mommie.

4-21-09 15 month Check up

Izabel had her 15 month check up yesterday. She is still on the small side but growing. She is 19 lbs 7 oz and 29 1/2 inches long. She grew 2 inches and 2 pounds since her 12 month check up. Remember she was 4 pounds 11 oz at birth. now almost 20 pounds.Way to go Bell.

She officially on whole milk but with a twist. She gets add formula till it till all the formula in the house is gone. Doctor said to mix it with the whole milk for extra calories for when she doesn't want to eat table food from me or by herself.
She showed the doctor that she can stand up by herself and walk around a table if holding on to it. She even let go for a second. Once she realized she was standing up not holding on to anything she fell to her butt. She can walk if using the walker or the playyard at home. She just wont do it on her own yet. She just playing it safe the doctor says. She showed the doctor that she can do High 5 with Daddy when she not playing shy. Still trying to get her to point to more then her Tootsie or her noise but I guess that will come in time. She can say about 5 words now. I guess for a girl born 6-8 weeks early she is doing good.

P.s. I need to get a scale at home and a height chart...

1. Put together new TV Stand for bedroom
2. Help Travis put together Izabel Dresser
3. Vacuum the floors

Dresser

I was thinking since Izabel room is Pink with Brown trim that this dresser would look nice in her room. What do you think?

Still need to get a picture of her room when it totaly done. One these days I will update it totaly done. I am slow at putting a room together. I feel like I need to apply to one those HGTV shows to get someone to come out and customize Izabel room for me. I always have these ideas that I want to do but never have the time or money or the know how to put it together. Then there are people like my friend Jessica who 6 months pregenet and already got a whole theme room done for her daugther to me. I cant wait to see it.

Cabinets part 1

Still need to paint the cabinets, but wanted to see what the knobs looked like till I can get around to painting. I Also need to fish the painting in the kitchen the trim need to be white not peach. The walls are Red but need another coat on the side where the sink is. The kitchen is slowly getting there. One day it will be done.
