Duck Tails

Isley has such crazy hair! The hair she was born with is abot 3-4" long and mostly on the top of her head, then she has a little undercoat of hair peeking through, a bald spot on the back of her head and then a little tuff of hair at the nap of her neck below the bald spot. When she wiggles around her little tuff at the back of her head puffs up like a duck tail. I let her hair run free, but Corey likes to comb it over like an old man- he took a pic of her laughing with her old man hair.

Isley also has a fond love of the TV. If she is in the living room and the TV is on she tries to watch it- she leans and arches her back to get a glimse. Her favorite is football- of all things!! We turn her around and put stuff in the way to block her view, but sometimes she gets a peek.

Leaning over my legs to watch football. She also really enjoys the Vandal fight song!!

Hat Time

I made a little trip to Framer's market this weekend and picked up this adorable hand-knit winter hat. My friend, Jen, suggested I check out these hats and I loved them so I picked one up for this winter. It is a little big, but it will be perfect for this winter. I had to take a picture of the hat so I figured I would try on all of her cute hats for a mini fashion show.

Rollin' Around

Isley rolled for the first time! We were playing with her and she rolled from front to back- like nothing new. It was her first roll and we were able to capture it all on camera. She hasn't gone from back to front yet, but anyday I am sure we will look over and she will be on her little belly. I can't believe how stong she is getting and how fast she is growing.

Hiking

We took Isley on her first hike. She slept most of the time, but seemed to enjoy it otherwise. WE have a really nice Kelty hiker we will use next year and maybe this winter when she is big enough for it. Corey took his pole and fished the little creek that runs into the reservoir. He caught a few fish and caught a big cutthroat about 3 miles in.

Notice the dogs eyeballing the fish- just waiting to chase it down the creek.

Our attempt at a family portrait. Corey is holding a different fish for the picture.

Corey bought this jacket for Isley while he was in Chile last year. I brought it along in case it was too cool on the hike, but she didn't need it so we only have the pic of her trying it on for size...

Baby Legs

So my new favorite thing is Babylegs. I bought some to try out the other day and love love love them. I just slip them on Isley's little chubby legs when it is chilly out and can still get to her diaper easily and they are so adorable on her. Going to buy as many pairs as I can!

The diaper pics are of Isley doing tummy time on the boppy (she is getting so strong) and playing her favorite game with daddy. She tries to pull herself to the seated position and with Corey's help she sits like a big girl- then he gently lets her fall back into the soft pillow- she giggles everytime she lands. She loves to sit like a big girl- think she just wants to see it all.

Sweet Pics

Isley had her pictures taken a few weeks ago. They turned out so adorable. Here are a few more:

4 Generations of Ballocks

My grandparents and Aunt and cousin came for a summer visit. They all got to meet Isley for the first time. Unlce Bradly finally made a trip out from OK to meet his niece.
