3 weeks and counting to the big 1...

Isabel got to take her first trip to the zoo...she loved almost every minute of it...she fell asleep, but I'm sure she loved that part too!!







One of her favorite parts of the zoo was hanging out with her goat friends in the petting zoo...



























She has figured out that a fun game is unrolling the rolls of toilet paper in the bathrooms!!


















Isabel is doing new things and getting more and more adventurous everyday...










She loves hanging out with dad and reading her favorite books...
















One of her absolute favorite things to do is look at pics of herself...she is a bit of a ham...


































She decided she wanted to learn how to climb this chair all by herself, and figured it out of course!!

10 months and counting...

Isabel is just like her mom...can't wait for those cookies to be done!!!

Oh, and did we mention she thinks she is a dog!!!

Just a cute picture of our cutie!!

Isa and the piano...

Isa took a break from learning the guitar for a little to tickle the keys of the piano at her great grandparents house...she's a natural of course...

Fun at bath time...

Isa loves her bath time...as soon as she hears the water running, she crawls as fast as those knees of hers will take her to the bathroom...

Almost 1yr. old...

As you can tell from the pictures, Isa is still growing and going strong...she has met and played with her little cousin Maya, she loves taking baths in her big girl tub, she dressed up with daddy for Halloween, she moved on from the guitar to the piano...




She still enjoys taking naps with mom and playing with boxes...







She loves her new walker and rider...she walks all around the house with it!!!

Isa's been busy...

Isa's had a busy past few weeks...she has met all her cousins, gotten to meet her other aunt and uncle, seen all her grandparents, and met a bunch of pirates...



She absolutely loved playing in the water at the park in Houston, although the splash in the face was not her favorite part...she made a bunch of friends because of her good looks of course!!




She hasn't stopped loving the dogs...they are still her best friends, but she is making friends of the human kind now too...she tasted her grandpa's barbque for the first time...the first of many I should add...it will be impossible for this child to become a vegetarian...









One of her favorite things lately has been dressing up like a pirate for IHOPirates night for YoungLife...she made a darn cute one too...
