Buy me a Pony...or at least the tail??

Well a lot has been going on lately. Izzy was sick with her first cold and was also teething at the same time. So that was lots of fun :). We took Isabelle to her six month appointment today and she is 15 lbs 8 oz, so she has gained 1 lb over two months. The doctor told us to avoid dairy until nine months after a run in we had with some ice cream. So we will try whole milk then and see what happens, if she still has a reaction then we will need to take her for an allergy test. The doctor said though that her reaction to the ice cream could have also been to an additive, so here's hoping...can't imagine a life without real ice cream.

Isabelle has been moving around like crazy too. We put her down on the floor and she is off to the races, pulling herself around. Her two bottom have come in; it is too cute to see her smile. Another great milestone, is that she now officially sleep through the night (12-13 hours) in her own room in her crib. It actually didn't take too long. We ended up doing the cry it out method, because going in to soothe her was not working. So just after two short nights she would fall asleep all on her own with just the smallest peeps. Isabelle also spent lots of time in the water when we were away at the cottage. She absolutely loved it. She would splash, talk and keep her feet; it was quite a sight to see.

Well that is all the updates I can think of for now...oh right I gave Isabelle her first pony tail today, it was pretty cute. There are some pictures below of some of the recent things

Enjoy!
