Xmas with the Ballocks

We spent xmas eve with my parents at our house. My mom came over and made a big prime rib and then we opened presents. Isley had a blast playing with the tissue paper! Everyone spoiled her and she made out with some pretty cool stuff. My favorite was a white puffy Gap coat from Uncle Darin and Bradly. They have great taste. We tried the coat on and she couldn't sit back- it was a scene straight from "The Christmas Story". We laughed so hard at her! Here is the Gap jacket. She is actually trying to lean back on the pillow, but can't.

All eyes on the munchkin.

She loved the tissue paper. She kept pulling it over her eyes and then down again- her version of Peek-a-Boo.

This was the best- my mom bought her a recordable "The Night Before Xmas" and recorded herself reading. Something she will have forever.

She really cleaned up this year!!

First xmas dinner. She had green beans and pears. YUM!

6 months

Here are her 6 month pics...how time flies (she is now almost 7 months). We had a friend do her pics and they turned out beautiful! Check out her blog here http://www.brittneywoodphotography.blogspot.com/ I love her bright blue eyes- and no they are not enhanced.
At her 6 month appt she was 26" long and 15.5# She is giggling and moves her little legs nonstop. When I come into her room and get her from her crib she laughs and bounces around like crazy. Melts my heart.
She is a happy little baby who steals our hearts every second of the day. And even though she still wakes up a few times a night to nurse ( I can't remember the last time I slept more than a 4 hour chunk) we wouldn't change anything about being parents- it is the best!

Cool Mom Bookey

Cool Mom Bookey gave Isley an adorable leapard fleece jump suit (plus a couple extra pieces to mix and match). I dressed her up in the outfit, but decided she looked like a jungle cat so we paired the pants with a pink monkey onsie. Thank you so much Cool Mom!! Hope the twins get similiar outfits so we can have 3 jungle cats roaming around. We also really love the Alaska book-we have read it almost every night. On a side note- her hair is more out of control. It now sticks straight up in the air.

First Turkey Day!!

Isley had two wonderful Thanksgivings this year. Her Thursday celebration was a little rough. We all had our H1N1 vaccinations on Saturday, then on Wednesday she went in for her 6 month shots plus seasonal flu (5 shots total, 7 vaccines). All the shots were a little much for the munchkin and she started a fever early Thursday morning. It hovered around 101-102F, but she was a champ and went to Gma and Gpa Dixons to celebrate. We fed her a bit of sweet potato, but she wasn't in the mood. On Sunday we went to Gma and Gpa Ballocks for round 2. She was healthy and this time enjoyed sweet peas with us.

Lounging around, trying to break her fever.

Enjoying her soft book. The cow moos when squeezed.

Cool Winter Day

Isley is still jogging with mom. We went out to the Snake River Landing to enjoy the cool winter day. It was about 30F out, but she was bundled up and stayed nice and toasty!
