Isla's got mad skills 2

There's a bee hanging from a little velcro tab above Isla's bouncy chair. She just noticed it a few weeks ago and has mastered grabbing it.

Yummy!

Isla really loves her solid foods. So far she's had: carrots, apples, peaches, chicken, avocado, bananas, rice cereal, zucchini, green beans, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.


Dinner of chicken and apples.

She also likes to help us feed her, by guiding the spoon into her mouth:

Isla & Oscar

Oscar is exactly 3 months older than Isla. She has just started to really interact with him, which mostly involves her pulling on his fur. Oscar is amazingly patient with her for a puppy and doesn't even seem to notice she's doing anything.


Using Oscar's fur to pull herself over...

Floortime!

Isla has recently started sticking her tongue out at us all the time. She thinks it's very funny - so do we.

First Playdate with Skylar!

Tawney looks pretty amazing for having a less than one-week old baby.
Even though she's 6 months older, Isla is only 2 inches longer than Skylar. Until this picture I've never realized just how much shorter I am than Tawney!

Having Fun with Daddy

Yummy Carrots!

Isla got to try her first solid foods this weekend! I made some pureed organic carrots from our CSA. Isla got really messy! Since the carrots, we've also tried some pureed apples. In just two days Isla has vastly improved her eating skills and last night ate both apples and carrots right down with no mess.

School fundraisers already??

Yes, the school fundraisers have already started for us. Isla's daycare is holding a Yankee Candle fundraiser. If anyone is interested, you can check out the catalog online and email me with your order.

Bathtime!

Isla gets a bath every night before bedtime. She's starting to outgrow the little tub that fits in the sink though!

Meet Isla's new friend!

Skylar Grace is very adorable and very long (almost 23 inches!). Isla can't wait for her first playdate!

Skeptical

Daddy and I are both very skeptical of Aunt Meaghy taking our picture.

Tummy Time!

Isla finally loves to hang out on her tummy.

She also loves to look at herself in the mirror.

And hanging out with Daddy!

Hanging out with Colin and M-J one more time

Colin really likes hanging out with Isla now. He wasn't so sure when she was just born, but now he thinks she's pretty fun to hold and play with. Colin needs to start his own blog so we can see pictures of him in San Diego!

Colin is moving to San Diego!

So we hung out with Colin and M-J last weekend. We went to the Inner Harbor and rode in the paddles boats (Isla wasn't allowed). I mostly forgot to take pictures, but here are a couple.

Colin fits in the ERGO too!

Isla discovers the giraffe

Isla has been playing on this playmat for a few month now and just discovered the giraffe this weekend. And then she drooled all over it.
