Where oh where do I start! I've been one busy Mama and failing terribly at being a blogger I guess!! hahaha Our little Isabella is going to be 5 months old this coming week! My goodness, has It really been almost half a year since that beautiful day in January! Matt and I are enjoying her MORE THAN EVER right now :) She is absolutely the funniest little girl...and yes, she knows it! She smiles from ear to ear all the time and just cracks herself up when she knows she's being cute.

It is truly amazing how early their personalities start to show and the little quirks and mannerisms she is already showing. Many of them I've seen a million times, since she has her Daddy's smirk and that lazy look when she stares up at you when she's sleepy...yeah the same one Matt gives me when I wake him up too early after a rare but fussy baby night, "Honey....could you get the baby...pleeeeeease with sugar on top" I know Matt secretly loves it when I do that because the best part of our day is when we hear her wake up in her crib and she starts talking to herself and looking at her little ocean aquarium...when we walk in the room she is in her own little world and then she sees your face and it lights up like nothing you could ever imagine. It melts me every single morning! What a way to wake up every day of our life. Does she really have to grow up :(

She is definitely a mover...we have come to the realization that she does not have time for swings, bouncers or anything that confines her anymore...rather she is happy as pie with a large quilt on the floor so she can roll and roll and inch worm around the room! She is desperately trying to crawl but she has not figured out that she has to stay up on her arms so instead she sticks her cute little bum in the air and pushes forward on her forehead and slowly gets from point A to B! It is hysterical to watch and a bit frustrating as well! At the rate she's moving she will get it down very soon and we will be chasing her everywhere. Start baby proofing the house now!

We did have another first as well....Matt enjoyed his 1st Father's Day! It was such a lovely and relaxing day and Bella and I woke Daddy up with a frame that we recorded her laugh on so he can hear her giggle all day long at the office when he misses her. We also were able to spend the day with Grandpa from Texas. He and Grandma just moved here and we are soooo excited!! It is fantastic to have Bella's Great-Grandparents so close by so she can spend so much time with them. They just adore her and snuggle her constantly.
We are headed to Alaska this Friday for a family vacation and a little bit of the Great Outdoors! Wish us luck on the flight with Miss Bella who has the ants in her pants these days!! And wish us luck for a 150 lb halibut...I'm SO going to show Matt up on the fishing trip this year! hahaha Here fishy fishy :)
Love to you all!!!
