Firsts

The past couple of weeks were filled with a lot of "firsts" for Isabelle. Lets go down the list..

1. Her first roadtrip to FL: She was such a good girl while we were traveling, so patient and sweet the entire time. However, she now hates her car seat.. I can't say that I blame her though.

2. Her first time staying in a hotel: We stopped half way each time and had a slumber party in the hotel, it was lots of fun!

3. Her first time meeting my side of the family: She met so many people on this trip.. Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins... well, you get the picture. Needless to say everyone got attached to little Izzy and got to know her really well, it was such a good visit. We are really excited about our next trip to FL at Thanks Giving.. this time with daddy too!

4. Her first taste of apple juice: She only gets one ounce a day, but boy does she love it!

5. Her first taste of rice cereal: You just have to see the video.. needless to say, she loved it!

6. Her first time reaching for a toy: Thanks to Uncle Chris and Aunt Lindsey, Izzy has a cool new bouncer with jungle animals on it.. One of them (her favorite) is a parrot that spins around and Izzy hits the parrot and just laughs when it starts spinning. She also got a jungle mobile for her crib too.. she laughs and talks to the animals when she's watching it, it's so adorable!

7. Her first bath in a kitchen sink: We did this at Grammey and PawPaw's house. She loved it! It was her first time being submerged in water for a bath, and her first bath in a sink. PawPaw took a video of it. Now she gets baths in her baby tub and kicks and splashes water all over us.. It's Great! Also, Izzy weathered her first tropical storm: Izzy, myself and Pawpaw weathered Fay and living without electricity for almost two days. After going all night with no AC we all hunkered down at Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan's house. Other than wondering what in the world we ever did without electricity, AC, TV and internet.. luckily there was no damage.
So, Izzy is changing every day. She is so sweet and special to everyone who knows her.
