Isabella and the Jayhawk

While we were at Price Chopper today Isabella noticed the College Game Day package signs....they have all of them hanging up all over the store...when Isabella spotted the sign with Willie on it she yelled "Mommy look it's Willie" (which sounds like "Lillie" when she says it) I smiled and said "you are right Iz that is Willie....about that time this old man near by asked Isabella "Do you know who that is?" pointing to the Jayhawk....Isabella didn't miss a beat...she smiled and said "Yep Stupid Jayhawk"....I literally froze....I was torn...part of me wanted to laugh because I thought the old guys head might explode as he glared at me like I was the worlds worst parent...so I calmly explained that stupid isn't a nice word (trying very hard to hide my giggles) and that she shouldn't call anyone that...not even Jayhawks...crazy baby!!

Baby's First Pie

Fall has become my favorite time of the year...I really love fall food...Isabella has really been into "helping" lately so I thought it might be fun to let her "help" me make a pie. She loved it...I can't believe how big she is getting, now she is helping me count ingredients and is learning names of kitchen utensils she blows me away....but most of all it's really nice sharing something I really enjoy doing with her...it's a great feeling when you make something and people love it so now Isabella can say she has made her first pie (from scratch I might add) and it tasted great!  We only had one mishap...Isabella decided to eat part of an apple that was a little too big and we might has ended up puking in the sink (no worries no vomit was near any part of the pie process and I did not think it needed a photo op)  Even after the puking though she wanted to wash her hands and keep baking (what a trooper)....she is like a little sponge watching her trying to figure everything out, she really is the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed...can't wait to see what our next adventure might bring....

Knuckle Sandwich

Isabella has gotten such a personality...she cracks me up on a daily basis....it's crazy to watch her little personality develop.  The other day she said something that I knew I had to document because it was so funny I didn't want to forget it....Isabella was being her little sassy self and I looked at her and said "Isabella I'm going to give you a knuckle sandwich if you don't get it together..." then she looked up at me with her adorable little smile and said "OK can I have chips??....I mean seriously how can I be mad at that....hahahaha

Summer Update

So I blinked and it's September...it's been crazy with visits and IT problems but enough with the excuses and on with the updates....In July of course there was 4th of July the most amazing time of the year.  I look forward to the Party and my parents house every year....Isabella really like the fireworks...a couple were too loud but mostly she loved it...It's such a fine time and I'm enjoying getting to really show her it's crazy how big she is getting she is the funniest person I know!!

In July Isabella's Dad and Aunt Erin came to visit her...along with the Grandma and Grandpa Castioni....it was a great time...we went to the water park the fair and spent a lot of time playing.  Isabella of course loved all the attention and I'm sure everyone loved getting to see her!
