  • 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 […]

  • October 2005

    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 […]

  • 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. […]

  • April 2005

    Thursday, April 21, 2005 Today, Bella climbed up a few steps on her own for the first time. She is mastering pulling herself on things and letting herself down once she is up. You can tell she is studying all the time. The other day she saw a little puppy Yorky (small dog). Bella thought […]

  • March 2005

    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 […]

  • February 2005

    Sunday, February 27, 2005 Isabelle is now crawling wonderfully. The other day I caught her in our palm tree plant. Dirt on the floor, some in her mouth. She loves crackers, but still won’t take anything to drink other than from a spoon. Bella habits: -makes mmmm noises when eating crackers -is all over the […]

  • January 2005

    Saturday, January 29, 2004 Bella is starting to eat solids. We started with rice cereal, then bananas and apple juice, which she did not care for. Next came oatmeal, which she loves! Some Isabelle accomplishments and habits: -sitting without help (first time 1.18.05) -pull herself forward and in 180 degree circle (mastered it this past […]
