Warning!! Isabelle Williams is addicting! Luckily, there is only one known antidote... more!!! I've accepted the fact that, outside of nursing and diaper changes, I get to hold my new baby very little whenever we are in the company of other people. Isabelle has charmed her way into the hearts of her family and friends. Even my mother-in-law has had to learn how to "fight off" her own friends at church, so that she can have some "nanna time" with her. When you belong to the Gibson-Williams family, you automatically are given a barrage of nicknames...whether you want them or not. Here are some of her loving nicknames so far: Izzy, Izzard, Belle, Busy-belle, Isabelly, Belle-Belle, Belzy, Isababy, Beller and many more that have escaped my mind. Isabelle is a very affectionate, loving, cuddly baby who is extremely easy-going and content. Thank Heavens!!! She has now learned to appreciate her mobile and smiles and coos at the smiley-face stars that hang from it, but for the most part, all the fancy gadgetry and toys dont amuse her nearly as much as a human face. She loves people! She loves being talked to and/or smiled at. She is fascinated by her older sister. She just watches with wide-eyes and astonishment as her sister yells, sings and dances her way around the house. Isabelle rarely cries unless something really startles her or if she's overly tired. She is an added joy to my life. My favorite thing to do with Isabelle is just cuddle face-to-face with her and smell her and feel her soft cheek on my cheek. I have often said to people that I feel like I must have done something exceptional in heaven to deserve such blessings...and they just keep coming!
