First Plane Ride

At the beginning of June Isabelle took her first plane ride. It was a short practice flight down to Orange County to visit some new friends and some old friends.

Zach and I have been friends since we were 3 years old. Here we are *ahem* many years later with our two daughters that are only 3 weeks apart in age.

I called them the Rug Inspectors. :)

And a special thanks to Jodi and Larry for the Southern (California) Hospitality.

We had a little flickr meetup at the Irvine Flea Market where we finally met (in person) the lovely Julie Mack who we wished lived closer so she could nanny for us.

flickr ladies at the Irvine Flea. So fun to meet people in person after "knowing" them online.

East Coast Grandparents

The east coast grandparents came to visit and stayed in a hotel with a nice pool.

3 out of 4 grandparents.

Still trying to get a hang of this eating business.

Open wide!

7 Months

She's such a sweet girl and growing so quickly.

She sits up so well by herself and is just itching to learn how to crawl.

And she loves her daddy so much!

East Coast Nephews Day 1

Breakfast with the cousins. More pics later...

One of Grandma Shirley's favorites.

It's nice to fall asleep on Daddy.

A smile for everyone. She even smiled at the salesman at the carpet store.

Her fun new used toy - the Stand-a-rooni!

She laughs. A lot.

Everything is a riot!

Three Months Old

Time flies when you're having fun! Three months old on February 1st.

She's so happy all most of the time. We couldn't be luckier!

Year of the Rabbit

We even had a night on the town. She got to hear her first live music. It wasn't disco. She wasn't impressed.

(Mostly) January Pictures

She loves her daddy.

She's such a happy baby. Always generous with her smiles.

She's getting very good with her hands - grabbing everything - including my hair! Maybe a hair cut is in order.

Here we are about to go for a walk. She loves going for walks, especially when there are a lot of trees.

She has the softest skin.

And she's so nice to cuddle.
