I am lucky... I have a happy baby... and I love her

izzy is 5 months! wow have we had some fun. She is laughing like crazy and smiling all the time. Out in public she laughs at everyone she sees... and lately we have been on the plane many times now and she just sits there laughing... so everyone looks over my seat to see what's going on!
and sometimes I will just leave her in her room to play and she'll laugh so hard out loud it's hilarious ... but mostly just darling. i love her...she is such a happy baby... the most fun to be around. I wonder where she gets that from? That would be jeff... fun loving


this is our favorite outfit... the Nike outfit
it has been cold here lately! somedays are down to 50 degrees (yes I know.. that's not that bad but actually cold for Florida!)




sometimes we will just go play on the grass and look at the beautiful scenery of the ocean. December is beautiful here!


this was about 4 1/2 months... growing.. growing..





i haven't taken her in the pool yet but I need to! I can't wait to!

Greatest place on earth for the Turkey Day

This year we were able to go to Disneyworld for Thanksgiving! It was a blast. Jeff had never been there and the last time I was there was when I was like 8 I think. Wow that place is huge! It literally is a world! Izzy loved looking everywhere at all the colors, lights, music, and of course the weird people :)
She loved it!
We went with our great friends Megan and Clark Cannon and their darling boy Andrew. We did the whole baby swap thing and got right on the rides!
Before we left she fell asleep in her car seat and when she woke up- this is what she was doing... hmmm...



she barely slept all day and night! she was SOOO exhausted by the end of the day






This was a parade going by and Izzy couldn't keep her eyes off of it



so fun!!

Catching up- October and November

playing catch up! Wow time flies when you are having fun :) We had a great last couple of months with visitors and fun in the sun.
Over Halloween Liz came to visit and it was so fun! She couldn't have come at a better time. Izzy was going through a growth spurt or something because she was waking up every 2 hours! I was dying. She use to just wake up once at like 5:00 a.m. and then would sleep in until 9 a.m. Yes I was very lucky... but when she hits these growth spurts.. its brutal as all of you could agree. She wouldn't just waking up whining a little (like she usually does) she would wake up crying very loud... and on top of that Jeff was so busy at work, he wasn't getting home until 2 a.m. some nights or even leaving for work at 6:00 a.m. So we were both so exhausted. I was so grateful to have Liz at that time!
I wish I had taken some pictures but we literally relaxed the whole time and it was so nice. We would go to the pool and hot tub, go to dinner, she made us dinner and then we would just nap... it was heavenly!!
And she totally got up for me and fed Izzy at night. wow it was awesome... thank you thank you Liz for such a great trip!!

A couple of weeks after Liz, my mom came! There is nothing better than both moms coming :) they are so much help! We had a great time. Of course we went to the pool and beach and it was beautiful! It's not too hot now and we just would lounge and sleep. She took us to dinner, ordered out, and we would rent movies each night and blow up the mattress and watch them all night :). She also helps me so much with Willie! I feel like I have another 5 year old (which I do) and with living in an apt.. it's gets a little tiring taking him out so it's nice to have moms help with that! Thank you mom for an amazing time... miss you already




so I gave Izzy a thing of napkins that I thought was sealed... but when I looked back the napkins were all over her :)



I know this is like way late! But we had so much fun at the Rigby's Halloween party! Fun games, costumes and yummy food. Liz was in town and was super nice to babysit Izzy! It was great for all of us :)
This was our girls night out for the month of November. Cheesecake Factory... always yummy... oh and you get free refills :)
