Through the window

Isley loves to look out the window at the puppies. She races over when they appear and slaps the window and screams with delight. The pups are liking her more and more too- they sniff her and look for hidden treats that may be stuck to her legs or bottom after lunch...
Her bottom two teeth are in and now her top teeth are coming. She has one big front tooth that you can see and the other is right behind. Corey says they look like my "big buck teeth".
I think she is starting to look like my baby pictures- I'll have to post a few sometime. We just can't seem to get enough of her.

Heading to the window.
Puppies!!!

Doll face.

Still playing with the safety kit. I finally took the plug-in protectors away because I didn't want them to get stuck in her mouth.

All for love

Isley is so much fun! She is a little sweetheart and officically saying "mama". On the trip down to SLC Corey sat in the back for the last half of the drive and played with Isley. There is nothing that makes the heart more full than listening/watching to your husband shake his head with a rattle toy in his mouth making your baby girl laugh and laugh. The things you do for love and laughter!!!
Isley has graduated into the regular bath so now her pink duck is her little toy. She jumps on it, takes rides in it and crawls all over it. Here are some pics of daddy giving her a ride in the pink duck.

Big Race

Corey and I ran the SLC marathon this past Saturday. I also gave my brothers half marathons for xmas. They both trained and did great- Darin injured his foot half way through, but he managed to suck it up and finish and is looking for the next race.
We had a great time and brought along Grandpa to watch Isley while we all ran. Unfortunatley, we didn't get any pictures because we all finished at different times and missed each other. The race had photographers so I will try to grab a couple photos when they post them.
Here are some cute pics of Isley- she now had 2 bottom teeth that are too cute.

Enjoying water in her sippy cup.
Playing with the safety kit...very safely! (Look at her long out of control hair)

Adorable little teeth.

Cali

Well we made it to California and back with no problems or break downs on the plane. Isley flew great- played and slept. She did start to want to crawl around so I had to distract her by singing, while may be pleasant to her- is not so pleasant to others :)
We had a wonderful whirlwind trip visiting with great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I feel so lucky to have both sets of grandparents- just wish we lived closer to visit them more often.
Isley had a ball climbing on every thing she could- she even managed to climb on a table onto a basket and hang from the table like a monkey..injury free.

The weather was beautiful so I put Isley in an adorable little dress. The lawn mower was coming after her here and she isn't too thrilled, but she looks cute in her little dress.

Little Monkey

Isley is a little monkey. She crawls all over and climbs on anything she can. When we fold laundry together she crawls on the basket and pulls out all of the clothes. Here are some pics of her climbing on the chair- she is really graceful at falling too.

In for a surprise

We had a couple big surprises from Isley this week. I was feeding her the other day and felt something hard in her mouth. Figured she had found something fun to stick into her mouth, but to my surprise- it was a tooth! We had no idea she was even teething. It is the cutest tooth (of course thats what we say about her first tooth)!! I took a picture, but it is hard to see- might have to click on the pic to make it bigger.
We still enjoy our morning naps together on Fridays. She cuddles with me and I get to catch up on some sleep. Lately one of us has been sweating and so she wakes up and her hair is all matted down and her cheeks are flushed.
The other new thing she has discovered is standing up in her crib. She can't pull herself up on the couches just yet (think they are too high), but she can pull herself up in her crib. I walked in after her nap the other day and there she was- so happy to be standing.

Cutest tooth ever!
Wet hair and red cheeks from our nap.

Her new trick.

Lounging around this town....

The sun is starting to warm things up and we are making more trips outside. Isley LOVES to be outside. If she wakes up really early and it isn't too cold, I bundle her up, strap her on and we take the dogs for a little walk. If we have enough time she usually catches a little cat nap. She loves to go on jogs with me (and Uncle D). She is going to have a blast this summer cruising around. I plan on jogging or walking the dogs in the mornings and going for prebed walks in the evenings- all with her. Also need to enroll in swimming lessons. I can't wait for the summer!!!!

Here are some shots of her eating and lounging around. For some reason she thinks her high chair is a recliner. When the tray comes off- her legs come up!!

I need to take a picture of her in her bouncer at day care. She goes wild! Peggy (the most amazing sitter) says she would bounce all day if she left her in there. Just looking at her jump that much makes me dizzy- I don't know how she does it without throwing up....
