3 Weeks!

Isabella you are growing right before our eyes! You are getting so big and this mamma doesn't like it. I need to find that time capsule and put you in it so you will be this small, sweet, and cuddley forever!

This week has just been a mommy-daughter bonding time. With the exception of Monday when Nana came over to "babysit" you we have spent the entire week together just me, you, and daddy when he wasn't at work. Mainly we snuggled, watched tv, napped, and occasionally did some housework.

You are now consistantly eating 3.5 ounces every 3 hours during the day. You are eating the same amount about every 5 hours at night. Mommy likes this because she can get some sleep. You are still wearing newborn diapers, which we need to buy more of (the size 1 diapers practically come up to your armpits!) And we are still struggling to find outfits that actually fit.

Here are some highlights from week #3 of your new life....

We had our first Easter with you...

You wore your first Easter dress...

You really started enjoying your baths...

You showed support for your Papa with your take on his hair-do...

You were introduced to John Deere...

You have started a really bad habit of sleeping on our chests (but you LOVE it...we can tell by your sweet smile)...

You wore your house slippers to the grocery you daring little girl you...

And you were proud of it...

Then you took over daddy's pillow...

You started playing on the floor. You like stretching out and kicking those legs...

And you found your favorite toy to play with. Roll Tide...

You of course had a photo shoot with mommy...

Watch out EPC. This mommy is getting good, but she has a wonderful prop!...

All in all week #3 with you has been great. You are a wonderful baby and an even more wonderful daughter. You still aren't a big fan of loud noises. This includes but is not limited to thunderstorms, weed eaters, and lawnmowers. Your biggest milestone of the week is that you have slept in your own bed at night!! You handled it well. Mommy took it a little harder. And well daddy...he um...slept of course.

Needless to say. If the 1,000 pictures don't prove it enough...we love you. We are so glad you joined our family. This is such a wonderful family now with you in it. I know you depend on me, but now my heart depends on you. You just make our lives so much fuller now and we are so much happier now that you are with us. Please don't grow too fast and just let us enjoy every little detail about you.
