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

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.

Something new for the Kitchen

First two pictures are the old door handles.
Second set of pictures are the new cabinet door handles for the top and bottom cabinets. I also need to repaint the cabinets and get a new conter top. I have a new Sink Handle just havent put it in yet.

Snow 09

Good day to stay home and do nothing. Snow Snow Snow. Its snowing and they might close the airprot for the night. Even if they close the roads, but don't close the airport my husband will have to go to work in the morning. I know suchs but that the way it is.
Right now my brother n law is stuck in Vegas. Seens with the snow he and his new wife Can't get a flight home. They had one for midnightm but we had them change it and now that flight they changed it to might be be closed. They finaly got a flight out of Vegas 6 hours later. Now they are in Denvor and the friend they had to come pick them up can come cause the roads are closed. Well not total closed but the Govenor has said that if you can stay at home please do so. There already been some accidents from Denvor to Colorado Springs.
We found one flight from Denvor to Colorado springs but it is all full. So now they can either try to rent a car and try to drive home or stay at the airport. It suchs to be so close to home and not able to get home.
Same thing happen to use in Decemeber but it wasnt snow that delayed are flight from Denvor to the Springs. IT was the high winds. Trust me the plane ride to the springs wasnt a plesent ride either. I almost got sick. I get motion sickness. Well to a point. It why I cant go on the fast rollercosters. I did that once and wasnt a pretty site.

On the bright side my new blue ray came int he mail today. Ive been watching twlight. Not a bad movie if you like vampires and highschool romance movies.

So that they first big snow storm of 09

Teeth

Izabel wouldnt sleep last night and not eatting much. She has a 100 fever, and I wonder why. Finaly she let me have a look in her mouth. She is geting a thrid top tooth. The second on the right hand side. It sure does hurt. She is crabby.
It still didnt stop me from going to the Eye Doctors. I havent gone in awhile and need new perscription. I couldnt find anew pair of regualr glasses I like so I had the new perscription put in my spair pair. I also got a pair of perscription sunglasses. Now I can with out being blinded by the sun.
Lucky we have family that can watch Izabel when we need too. We where there watiing till 3pm. Didnt get to the funuriture store to get Izabel Dresser. I guess that will have to wait another week. Oh fun. We only been trying since her brithday to get her dresser. She needs one so badly. Tired of her cloths siting at the bottom of her closet. She will be 14 months on saturday. She geting so big.

weather

I cant wait for the warm weather. I have some pink and brown paint to put up on the walls. We bought the paint for Izabel room, but every time we want to paint we been busy or the car accident or it been to cold to open the window. Today it was 60+ but by the time it was warm enough to open her window Izabel need her nap. She been fussy if she doesn't get her nap. Then she get fussy if we lay her down. All she wants to do is crawl and try to grab on to things and try to stand up. We had to get a new entertainment system. The one we had had to many sharp uneven corners and she kept running in to them. The one got is oval Sharp and wood. It round so no sharp edges and nothing sticking out. It four shelves. Now it a lighter wood then the colors in my living room, but it brown. The walls in the living room are a light blue the curtains are blue and brown. The chair is blue and brown and coach is brown. So I guess it all matches.
