January 2007
Friday, January 26, 2007 We are all freezing here. It’s just above 0 degrees. Jack can now pulls himself to standing and he continues to screech. Because he can stand he holds himself up in his crib and screams/cries like I’ve never heard before. This ‘little’ boy has a temper. Isabelle is talking in sentences […]

December 2006
Monday, December 18, 2006 Jack is sleeping through the night!! Last week we made him cry it out. He was healthy, the teeth were out, he could roll over, he was eating plenty of solids, etc. There was no excuse. It took two nights. He now sleeps 7:00-6:00am. We now feel in control after nine […]

December 2005
Friday, December 16, 2005 We just had our first huge snowstorm of the season – 12″ of light perfect snow. Isabelle loved being out in it. She is walking all the time now. With each day she improves her speed. She attempts to climb things, especially the couch, but she is still unable to do […]

November 2005
Monday, November 27, 2005 Isabelle is walking most of the time. She wobbiles still, and occasionally crawls, but her walking is improving and she’s picking up speed. The bottom eye-teeth are through and very visible. We’re waiting for the top ones, though we’ve had a break for a few weeks now and have glimpsed our […]

Monday, October 10, 2005 Well much has happened in the past month. Sadly Isabelle’s grandmother passed away on September 16th. All of us will miss her tremendously. She loved Isabelle so much. Isabelle has begun to walk. She is only taking small steps, but with each day she practices. Many times she stands by herself, […]

September 2005
Thursday, September 8, 2005 Isabelle is going through her terrible two’s now OR at least she’s testing me. If she wants something, she points emphatically, if she doesn’t get it, she schreeches or cries. Sometimes she hangs on my legs. Either I ignore her, distract her, or say NO. What happened to my easy going […]

August 2005
Monday, August 22, 2005 Isabelle is growing suddenly. I think she is going through a growth spurt. She’s still petite, but definitely growing. Her hair is growing too – mostly down the middle front. If you look at pictures when I was small, my hair looked the same. Poor thing. We now put a barrette […]

July 2005
Friday, July 29, 2005 Well Bella celebrated her first birthday with cake and a family party. She loved the cake of course being her first REAL sweet to eat. We sang happy birthday and she and her Nona blew out the candle. We’re living through the last few molars. Each day she’s either up or […]

June 2005
Monday, June 27, 2005 Last Thursday Isabelle discovered the stairs. Before she always played on the bottom step. Suddenly instead of playing, she crawled to the top. She now likes to climb the stairs and crawl to her room. I took Isabelle last week to the dentist because we thought she had something stuck in […]

May 2005
Monday, May 31, 2005 Bella saw her first parade today. Albeit small, she enjoyed the short Lenox Memorial Day parade. After weeks of rain and cold, the sun finally burst forth with some heat. With both families we celebrated the day here and Isabelle was the life of the party. She even out-talked my dad. […]
