I've been horrible and haven't updated this in a while now. The biggest news is that our little Isla is now saying words! Her first word was "Isla"!!! I sing a song I made up to her that has her name in it and her little girlfriends says her name over and over. Being a Speech Therapist it just thrilled me! Now her new one is "eyes." She is obsessed with eyes and will dig at her dolly's and yours if you let her. She has said "dog" and "up" on several occasions, but doesn't use them frequently. She is also standing now. She has been doing this for awhile now when i would let go of her. Just a few days ago she started letting go of things on her own. She gets the biggest smile on her face and beams when she's doing it! Yesterday she stood and her hands were way out in front of her for balance and she waved only moving her fingers to her friend. She thinks she's big stuff!Other tricks she has been doing....she has a talent for crawling away from you while you are trying to change her. It doesn't matter that you have her legs, she will just flip her torso until you have to let go of her for fear of breaking something. I've found giving her something to play with
helps. She decided that she wanted to eat SAND last weekend! We go to the beach every weekend....this weekend for some reason the sand at this beach looked tasty! She would shovel handfuls into her mouth and then cry if you tried to get it out. It all came out in the wash:) haha. I realize this pic is horrible of me....but I wanted you to see first hand the sand in her mouth!On a more serious note, she currently has her 6th ear infection since September. She had a consult with the ENT and he is going to put tubes in her ears soon. Poor girl has them all the time and is constantly digging at her hears and pulling them. They have to put her under for just a short time and then do the procedure. I'm sure she will feel like a million bucks after!
Not much else going on! Michael and I are doing well....just working, playing, and hanging out! Much love to all!!! Click on the two beach pictures so they enlarge and you can see the sand mess!
