Hello Everyone!!

11 Months/2 Months... September 9, 2008

Well our little Petunia is 11 months old today AND we have been home 2 months! It is hard to believe that we have been home that long. Time is going by way too quickly! Our little poptart is growing and changing every day! We just love her so much!!

This was July 9th, getting in the car to go home from the airport.

This picture is from today at 11 months! Showing her curious little nature!! She was looking through the door from the family room into the kitchen at Nana's!!

This was from yesterday but shows what a ham she is with her Dora bandaides that she got into!

My Girl

What a week!

Well our little princess has been with us 2 months since this past Friday the 29th! Hard to believe when we got her she could not even sit up on her own. She is now sitting, crawling, babbling, pulling up and taking steps with our help!! She also has gotten a new tooth in the last 2 weeks!! It is on the top and she has discovered how to grind it - like nails on a chalkboard!! She also mocks us, especially if we cough! It is so cute! So here are a few recent photos!!

I made her first 2 pigtails!

I love to pull out what I should not!!

I'm wearing Great Nanny's beads and I LOVE them!!

And Mommy had to add her headband!!

Why play with the toy when I have the legs of the toy to play with??

My Crazy Daughter...

This morning my cute little girly decided she was going to help me clip coupons...

Izabella's Ears

For those who think I am a horrible mother for getting my little girls ears pierced, don't you think that is our decision as a parent? I think it is better to do it when your child is young and when you can take care of them yourself instead of trying to make sure they are taken care of when they are old enough to know they are there and possibly not take care of them? I have so many friends that this has happened to. She cried for like 5 second becuase the noise startled her. She never touches them and they are very healthy because I have taken good care of them. I pretty much think if you don't like it, don't read my blog and keep your comments to yourself!

Kentucky State Fair!!!

Well tonight Izabella got to go to her first Kentucky State Fair!

Back by popular demand....

Here is an update on our little princess! This passed week, we broke gum on a new tooth!! I think another is coming, we had a rough afternoon. Also this passed Saturday we turned 10 months old and were home exactly one month! Time is flying by too quickly!! Before we were like hurry up so we can get her. Now we are like slow down, she is getting older too quick! We are so happy that we just can't stand it. Looks like we might get to see Molly, one of her orphanage "sisters." this weekend that we met in China. Her and her parents are supposed to come down and visit on Saturday. We are really excited to see them!! Well, here are some photos!

This was our first time holding our big girl cup... And our last. She wants nothing to do with feeding herself or holding her own cup.

My First Sleepover...

These are the pictures that ended my stay with Nana and Poppi, and great nanny.
We stopped at Cracker Barrel to get dinner and boy was I hungry, I had prunes, mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots, they were so good.
Then we rocked on the porch where I sat on poppies lap and played with the top off the can of my goodies. I had a fun day. While I was gone I had lots of people come to see me and we went to see people. I was good and slept all night like mommie said I would, and Nana did what mommie told her to as nap time and the right foods. I am going back and visit cause I had two play mates and they were "boys" one was a friend Caden and one was my cousin Andrew and he brought me books so they can read to me.
Love,
Izabella
