Little Nubbins

As most of you know, Izzy got her first two teeth. Tonight she thought it was hilarious that I was calling them "little nubbins" and every time I said "little nubbins" she would crack up, so of course I said it over and over for about 5 or 10 minutes until she got sick of hearing it and went on to her other toys. You never know what's going to crack up a baby, but when something does you just keep doing it over and over and over no matter how silly you look. Thank goodness I had the camera close by so that I can share our funny moment with you.

The Lone Pear

Well, the beautiful leaves have peaked and are gone. Everything is bare now. Usually when this time of year comes around I get what Luke calls the "Seasonal Blues". Being from FL I'm used to having green and sunshine all year round so when this time of year rolls around it can be a bit hard, but somehow everything being bare isn't so bad out here at the farm. I've actually really enjoyed it this year, and I'm even hoping that it will snow! Speaking of trees being bare, Luke and I went on our jog today and looked over and noticed that on a pear tree that is completely void of any living thing, there is one lone pear still hanging on for dear life. We thought it was amusing so we took a picture of it.

Sweet Potatoes... YUMMY!

This is Izzy's first experience with sweet potatoes.. Needless to say, she loved it!

She also got her second tooth this week and started wearing pampers cruisers today! I know the new diapers are not super exciting news for everyone, but to Luke and I, it's a little milestone. She's growing up so fast.

A Swingin' Good Time

Izzy has been moving around a lot lately, so we decided it was time for her to try some new activities since she seems to be getting bored with the bouncers and play mats. This bouncy swing was just the thing, as you can see she thinks it's pretty cool to be standing up like a big girl. What a ham!

Happy "MOO"loween

Last night was Izzy's first Halloween. Doesn't she make the cutest little cow? I thought it was fitting since we live on "the farm". So, our first rounds were to Edible Vibe where we saw Oma, Papa, Aunt Mary and Uncle Wayne. Uncle Wayne and Izzy played the whole time until we could coax him to pass Izzy on to Papa.. hehe.. After a nice visit with everyone and a taste testing of three different kinds of delectable pumpkin desserts, some amazing melt in your mouth chocolate cookies and finding Waldo, we headed for the hospital to see Daddy. Luke was so excited to see Izzy, he wasn't feeling good at all and I think it really brightened his night :-) So, we headed home and Uncle Stin stopped by.. All in all, it was a very fun night! We wish that Grammey and Pawpaw and all the Tallahassee Crew could have seen Isabelle all dressed up, but I guess these super cute pictures will have to do for now.
