Tummy Time
Saturday, August 30th, 2008
Isadora is getting really good at Tummy Time. Even Murky is impressed, and Murky is hardly ever impressed. Video footage courtesy of Daddy.
A jibber jabbering jabber jaw. Just like her dad.

Learning is tiring.
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008
This week, Isadora learned how to grab things. She loves hanging on to stuff up to a point. She hasn’t quite figured out how to let something go when she no longer wants to hold it, so she gets really mad when she realizes that something is still in her hand.
She’s getting really good at [...]
So sweet it’ll make you cry

Izzy was particularly fussy this evening. I couldn’t quite figure it out. She didn’t seem hungry. I thought she might have been tired, but wouldn’t take a nap. I thought she was hot, so I stripped her down to her diaper. She whined the entire time I was trying to cook dinner. I put her [...]

And all this time, I thought she really loved the dangling sun rattle on her Baby Einstein Mat. When I saw her grab the sun and look a little frustrated, I though I would try something else. I moved the sun, and she got really excited. I think all this time she’s been trying [...]

Izzy loves her new fish rattle that we picked up last week. Best 25 cents I ever spent at Ikea.
What’s cookin’, Toots?
Monday, August 11th, 2008
Before I go grocery shopping, I try to make a list of meals I plan to cook for the next week or two, and use the recipes for the foundation of my shopping list. Having a list makes sure I buy only what I need and nothing more. With the rising costs of food these [...]
