9 Months Old...
Isabelle is now 9 months old and has her two, front, bottom teeth in. She enjoys using them on crackers, fresh fruit and...pretty much anything from our plates. She still likes baby food (especially sweet potatoes) but always wants whatever we're eating. She is also finally crawling! Yeah!!! She's been crawling backwards for a long time now, but a week ago she finally learned how to switch from Reverse to Drive. Now she's everywhere and into everything. You can see her teeth in the video and the picture is of her eating a nectarine in her little food-holder-thingy.
Isabelle is now about 16 pounds. I call her "My Little Bean" because she is just so small compared to other babies her age. Most people guess that she is 6 months old. When Brooklynn was 6 months old, she weighed twice as much as Isabelle! Not only are they different is size but most people tell me that they don't think they look alike, either. Of course, I see the similarities...but they definately are different. I look forward to the coming years and seeing even more similarities and differences.

9 Years & Counting...
On April 3rd, 1999, I married my best friend. I often brag to my friends and family how lucky I am because my husband has only gotten better with time. With each passing year he has become more understanding, more forgiving, more patient, more spiritual, funnier, sweeter and hotter! :~) When I was younger, I had several important dreams:
-To marry my best friend
-To marry someone who valued his relationship with Heavenly Father as much as he valued our relationship
-To become a mommy
-To be able to stay at home with my kids if possible.
I am amazed and grateful to be able to tell Russ that he has made all my little-girl-dreams come true. When I prayed to God to send me a friend, I had no idea just how good of a friend He would send me...and for that, I will be eternally grateful!
I love you Babe!
