Post-Christmas, Pre-New Year

A couple of things should be noted {I'm talking to you, Izzy}:

1) Isabel, you are becoming more accomplished at napping.  THANK YOU

2) In the last month, you have verbalized some iterations of:  Hi DADA, All Done, Mama, and Yeah.  Sometimes, you even say them without me demanding that you say them, and it's those times that I know you are SO SMART.  {Vava= Mama; Aah Duh = All done.... & the others are crystal clear ;) }

3) You seem to be more interested in standing and pulling up on dangerous apparatuses {sharp glass coffee tables, top heavy end tables, metal bed posts....} than you are in learning to crawl.. This makes your days quite harrowing.....OH right, and the sides of bath tub... Making bath time quite different from the old days, and giving your bather a very good workout. 

4) The weather here has been spring-like for a couple of days.  I felt inspired yesterday, walked us to the library {which was MUCH further than I estimated} and now we are both proud library card holders.  YippeE!

Below are my new favorite pictures of Izzy & Will.  Taken on the same day she said "Hi Dada". 

Oh! And tomorrow, Santa brings me a new camera!!!! 

VERY EXCITING.  I hear it will change my life.  ;)
