    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.

    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.

    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.

    Monday, March 21, 2005 One more tooth is still attempting to pop out. Isabelle has been in good mood thus far, but you can tell she is not herself. She has suddenly taken to sleeping almost through the night. Amazing! She is also eating more food now. It’s a battle to serve her food with […]

  • December 2004

    Sun. December 26, 2004 Isabelle was a trooper for Christmas. Barely sleeping two hours the entire day, she rarely fussed or cried. True, she didn’t smile too much, but that is to be expected having to wear tights, a dress and black shoes. Grandparents and Great-grandparents were very generous – too generous. Isabelle must have […]
