Brushin three little teeth :)

Isabelle LOVES to brush her teeth. When she was younger, we made the toothbrush a fun game... and it really helped her to enjoy brushing her teeth. She RUNS to the bathroom to sit on the toilet and let us brush her teeth. She has to hold the toothpaste herself once we've put it on the brush. She is SO freaking cute. LOVE all of the weird facial expressions she makes here...

P.S. Crazy hair is from the pig tails she had in her hair :)

Slidin :)

One of our new favorite things to do is go to the park. It is really close to where Mommy works, so Daddy and Isabelle meet Mommy up there for lunch :) Isabelle had her first solo-ride on the slide the other day :D

Big Girl Talking

Isabelle is starting to talk more, but she definitely has a favorite word. I'm not really sure why she is microwaving her golf ball at the end, but maybe it helps it fly farther, I don't know



She also learned GO GO GO for the Jets big W against the Patriots-- here she is trying it out the day after

She's Special

Isabelle LOVES spending time on the backporch. Actually, Isabelle just loves to be outside, and Mommy likes the porch b/c she can't get into too much trouble out there :) Here she is experimenting with the sliding glass door... she sure is a special girl!

Fun with Daddy

Isabelle has tons of new toys from her birthday party that she loves-- but this girl can have fun with anything, including some phonebook pages

I'm Out Mom!

Now that Isabelle is an accomplished walker, she just LOVES to carry stuff around with her while she walks. She likes to fill a large basket with various toys and joyfully walk around with it. Here she is leaving Mommy and Daddy behind in her room while she goes to explore the hallway :)

Starting to Wean.....

off of Isabelle's heart medicine tomorrow! I'm excited and a bit apprehensive. It is VERY unlikely that she will have a repeat SVT episode until she is a teenager... but it's still nerve racking. Here is Isabelle wearing her "holter" heart monitor. She wears these every so often to make sure that her heart beats are normal and that she isn't going into a SVT rhythm. She will wear them more often after she is weaned off the medicine so we know for sure that she isn't having episodes without us knowing. This condition will be easier once she is older and able to tell us if something doesn't feel right. Keep us in your prayers that all goes well and Isabelle is weaned off of her medicine without incident!
