Isabel's 15 month sneak peak

We had Isabel's pictures taken in the French Quarter not too long ago. Here is a sneak peak of what Amy Douet sent. Hopefully, the full gallery will be up soon!!

Easter Sunday

The Hunt in On!!

We had a fabulous weekend in Natchez, MS! And as always stayed very busy with event after event! We had a wonderful time on Saturday at the Holder's Easter Egg Hunt. Isabel was too cute and really got the hang of it! She was very dainty with her little felt basket... she would spot an egg, walk/run up to it, glance at me for approval, gently place the egg in her bunny basket, and then off we go to the next one. SO PRECIOUS!

Sweet and Sour

We went to Outback last Friday night and got the chance to have Uncle Bobby as our waiter. He was terrific and Isabel had a ball. She was so cute and ate soooo well: Half a loaf of that delicious bread, garlic mashed potatoes, cheese, manderin oranges, and a huge bowl of ice cream. We have also recently discovered her love for LEMONS. She is so funny and it is really cute watching her make sour faces. I was able to catch her sour face and a sweet face with ice cream from head to toe and some sweet sugar for Mia.

Hallmark moment

Maria Tartamella Lewis "Aunt ReRe" captured this picture of Isabel and Gianna this past weekend. It looks just like a hallmark card. We had a wonderful time hanging out with Maria and Gianna. It was really great to get the girls together. They are just now getting to an age where they can play together. Although it took Isabel almost an hour to warm up, she had a good time watching little busy bee "G". Gianna is such a doll and soooo smart!! I can't wait for these two to have lots of adventures together. Come see us "G" in New Orleans and we will take you to the ZOO!!!

Here are some more of precious Isabel! Going to visit Aunt ReRe is like having her portraits done!! Thanks Maria for your awesome camera.

PigTails

This afternoon I was playing around with Isabel's hair and put her in pigtails. Then we went outside to chase bubbles. Isabel loves being outside and would stay outside all day long if I let her. Then on to a pink bath, and yes another favorite...water. I have to watch her very closly. She is mighty brave and moves all around the tub. She also so cute and will take the soap container and pretend like she is putting it on her hands and then rubs her belly all around. I usually have to help her out with the rest of her body...she seems to just think she needs to clean her precious belly button. Also, I wanted to add that after she made a year, we decided to change up her night time routine. So instead of falling to sleep with a bottle and rocking. We give her a sippy cup of milk. play and read books, brush teeth, say prayers, and place her in her crib. "Good night, sleep tight. I love you." And she puts herself to sleep without even a peep. She has gotten so good at it....i think she looks forward to her beauty sleep. Here is our big girl playing this afternoon/evening. Next purchase....matching bows!
