// Sweetest Isabel turned 7 months this week!!! Here is some of what 7 months old contains for this little dumpling: {written to and for Isabellie}
- Your talking sounds are getting really good!!!!! "dadadadadada...... fafafafafafafa...... bababababa....huuuhhhh" {and that huuuuuhhh has sounded very much like a hello, more than a few times!!}
- The rolling across the floor continues, but is becoming more sophisticated! We've been very impressed with how you can get to where you want, with a combo of rolls and scoots.
- You want to crawl so badly, and I think you will be doing it very very shortly.
- A few times, I've said "give mommy a kiss" and you do it!!! Your signature, big open mouth cheek slobber. This makes my heart melt like nothing else.
- I'm trying {half heartedly} to teach you sign language for "more" and "all done". The sign for "all done" just makes you laugh....
- Your obsession and love for doggies continues.... {they would love you back equally if you were better able to control your impulse to grab fistfuls of their hair}
-You can really sit up now!!! and seeing you sitting up on a chair, on the bed, in the middle of the floor, with your little legs bent so that your feet touch {like a tripod}... I turn to mush.
- You've kind of outgrown your little whale bathtub. Bath time is now a lot of me trying to keep you alive, as you try to stand and lunge for all of the cool bath stuff {faucet, drain, sides of the tub...}, no more lying prone and watching me sprinkle water overhead....
- And that leads me to this: You are such a busy little bee!!!... So curious, so active, so engaged.... everyone who meets you comments on this {and your good looks too of course ;)}
- Our naps together are the best. An hour and a half, middle of the day /// Golden.
- You and I have got a really special bond going, and it's pretty sweet. I was worried that my going back to work would affect it, but it really hasn't. We have each other down. We speak the same language, and you are my best, sweetest girlfriend. {please refer back to these writings during your teenage years....}
So, happy 7 months to you Boo Bear! We are so proud of you, and love you the MOST!!!

// This week, I did a little bit of Christmas shopping, and decided to check out Urban Outfitters. I have not set foot in an Urban Outfitters for years, and had forgotten how much random, interesting, kitchsy stuff they have. The clothes seemed geared towards a younger, hipster-ish crowd {especially the men's stuff} but there were a number of pieces that I think I could've gone for. Alas, Christmas shopping is meant to be for others, so I had no time to peruse what might've been....
I snapped a few pictures of some things that I thought should be shared....
Watch out for: ruched velvet, acid wash, a cozy sweater, a great camera, cat prints, shiny rainbow pants {I'm sure SJP could've pulled them off circa 2001 SATC}, floral print {calico?}, mason jar shot glasses {I don't drink, but am sure I could find some use for tiny mason jars!}, a little black dress, sequins, some really cute tops {LOTS of crop tops-- that is another blog post.... crop tops post age 17? post partem?.... ehhh}, and some pretty rocks {some as coasters}. It reminded me of an artsy cousin to Goodwill//Anthropologie// your neighborhood thrift store//Spencer's {remember that place?}. Kind of a, "You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...." Urban Outfitters? You be the judge.
Treasure hunting and wandering through weird interesting stuff is fun, right?
