These are pictures of Miss Isabella trying baby food for the first time. She was making the funniest faces. It was like I was feeding her lemons or something. Yet when I would take the spoon away she would start jumping up and down in her chair.

Mommy needs a moment

I had to have a mommy time out today. Isabella would not go to sleep after many tries. I finally came to the conclusion that she would be safe in her crib because I needed a moment to myself. I put her down and she flipped herself over and was spinning around on her back. After a half an hour of SCREAMING she finally fell asleep sideways in her crib. She survived but she may need therapy and I'm sure it will be my fault when she's 16.

Four months old



It's hard to believe that Isabella is four months old. Time sure does fly. I guess with Nicolas it flew just as fast it's just Nick and I were going to school full time, working full time and then trying our best to be there for him. He was with a babysitter from 7-5 Monday-Friday and Isabella stays home with me. I have been lucky to be able to substitute a few days a week when Nick is able to stay home with Bella, but for the most part I am home with her all day. I see how much I truly missed with Nicolas, although we didn't have any other choice with him and he new no different.

Tucson Trip



We flew to Tucson for Nicolas' Spring Break. We had a great time and Isabella got to fly on an airplane for the first time. Our flight out of Chicago was delayed an hour and a half due to a severe weather storm. We got snow!!! Needless to say we were so excited to go to warmer weather for awhile. This was the first time that Larry got to meet Miss Bella. She also got to go to a U of A football scrimmage and meet many people in Arizona who had heard so much about our newest addition. Bella did not like the heat, and it really wasn't hot. I think the hottest it got was in the 80's. The time difference had a huge impact on our little girl. We are two hours ahead of Tucson so she was thrown off by that. We all had a great time and were very happy to see everyone.
