She pulled herself up....and got her first black eye!


I can't believe it my sweet little princess has her first shiner....something tells me this won't be the last! She was in her bath splashing and playing with Boston (my niece) and I was sitting by the tub thinking how lucky they are to have each other...and out of no where Isabella grabs the side of her bath tub and pulls herself up...I couldn't believe it and I think the shock of it all slowed my reaction time a little and a bath tub isn't exactly the best place for unsure little feet and they slipped right out from under her and she hit her sweet little face on the side of the tub...so sad! I hate the "hurt" cry it just rips your heart out...and of course I had to get the camera to commemorate the moment hahahah this is her right after she calmed down...not to bad the purple didn't show up until the later...


The sweet thing about little ones is, once she calmed down she was over it and back to playing! It was hilarious...she has pulled herself up once more in her crib since then, so I think it's time to lower her mattress...she is such a little rock star trying to stand before she's 7mo old...she is super strong! I feel like this means that my peace of mind is out the window though...I can no longer put her down to play and know that she will in that same place when I turn my back....haha this morning I turned my back for 2 seconds to make a phone call and I turned around and found her inside the bottom shelf of the table it he living room...I think I might need to reconsider it's placement...I guess it's full speed ahead now...I need to find something to cover the fireplace because I can handle first black eye...first stitches however I am not ready for!


Pay no attention to the empty frame next to the table...haha I really need to get that done!! It's just hard to do when there are other things to do that are so much more fun like playing with bubbles! Isabella loves these bubbles Dr Martin got her that don't pop immediately she crawls all over her room to get them!! =)

TOOOO LONG






Ok so it's been about a million years since I've posted but hey I'm doing it now right...ha ha well anyway Isabella is a growing machine! Her newest trick is her infamous push up...she cracks me up! Now shes getting into the front leaning rest position (push up or plank) and walking her feet into her hands and then sitting there like "what in the heck do I do now" it's very entertaining...it has also turned me into a crazy person trying to make sure that the house is now baby proof for a baby that actually moves...it's a little different!




I cannot believe how much personality she already has...it's amazing how much she is coming into her own little person...for example she is insistent on sleeping on her tummy...for the first couple of nights I would go into her room and flip her back over and by the time I got back to my room and checked the monitor she was already back on her tummy....I lost a lot of sleep over that, ha ha what a nerd! I've always been a worrier but this new mom thing is a little over the top, so after a few days of the flipping her back over war I've surrendered...and now I just giggle as I lay her down in her crib and she immediately flips onto her tummy....





She also loves music...it really does soothe her, my good friend Sean made her a classical CD that she will coo and play too...and of course we spend many of evenings dancing to music on TV ha ha she is so much fun and hopefully I have a little dancer on my hands! =) One of my favorite new things she is doing is reaching for me....it is the best feeling in the world to walk into a room and see her beautiful little face light up and get excited...there is nothing better! It melts my heart every time....someone remind me of this when we hit the whining reaching stage ha ha She is such a happy baby makes me nervous that if I ever had another one it would be rough ha ha





She has taken a few "steps" forward in her push up position...I'm sure any time now she will be full speed ahead!
























I'm getting her 6mo pictures taken today so I will post again soon (really I will)!
