I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night....

Well we just got back from a great shopping trip to the states! Mike and I had our first weekend away in quite a while and probably our last for a while...:). We spoiled ourselves a little and spoiled the babies a lot! Isabelle spent Friday night with Nana Sue and then Saturday night with Nana and Papa. She was a great girl all weekend! We were very excited to get back home to see her!

While we were away we bought Isabelle a drum that came filled with lots of fun shakers and drumsticks. Here are a couple of recent pictures and a video of her being a rockstar!

Enjoy!

Don't worry...we are still here!

Wow...it has been a while. My intentions with this blog was to keep it fairly up to date and try to have a new post at least once a week...well that hasn't happened. I feel a bit bad about that too, because I haven't really been keeping track of things in a baby book, so I was depending on Isabelle's blog to remind me when different things have happened. Oh well..that is the life of a pregnant Mom with a one year old I guess.

Isabelle turned 13 months yesterday! She is growing like crazy too! At her doctor's appointment last month she had gained 3.5 pounds in one month, so that brought her up to just about 19 pounds. She is still not walking, although we have been trying to encourage her to stand on her own by slowly letting go when we are helping her walk. She will sometimes stand for a second but then will get down on her bum. She seems very afraid of hurting herself, but I am sure she will get the hang of it soon. She loves to play with her toys and read her books. She also has a huge love of music. She will dance away whenever she hears music playing, it is pretty cute, and she has pretty good rhythm. She gets cuter everyday and her personality gets more and more prominent. She has discovered the evil eye and her new favourite noise to make is an "o" sound. All in all she has been doing very well.

Here are a few pictures from the last month as well as some shirts we made for Isabelle and the new baby.

Enjoy!
