Play Group




















So September Mommies Play Group keeps us pretty busy, and we have a great time. We have weekly play group with 3 other babies and mommies. Coincidentally the babies are all girls (no we are not sexist-it just how it worked out...) Anyway we do tummy time, floor time, social time, but the best part is that the Mommies get to chat and eat lunch! It's a fun group of gals...

History in the Making...

Oh-Bama Baby...
What an exciting time! We have a new president and our country is finally heading in the right direction. More importantly Isabella was born just in time to witness history in the making. Already she is a proud Obama Baby.



Anyway, Isabella Update...

She is growing so fast, she now is 4 months old already! She is starting to roll and sleeping through the night-ya hoo! She loves her Jumperoo, I will try to post some videos of her in action-it is hilarious. She smiles all the time and continues to be such a sweet, funny baby. We are so in love with her!

Feliz Navidad



I wanted to post up some of our Family Christmas pictures. Isabella is 3 months now and appears to be changing daily. She is starting to coo and "talk" to us, smiling more on purpose (not just gas bubbles), and being more social. She is sleeping great at night, and sadly I have to return to work after the new year so I am so sad to be leaving my baby girl. However I will only be working 4 days a week and can work part of that from home. And the good news is that Chris is taking one month off for "Paternity Leave" to stay with Baby Isabella. After which in February Bubbe Rose will stay with her, she is like another grandmother to Isabella, and a close family friend to us. We absolutely love her and are so happy Isabella will be taken great care of with love.









Our first Christmas with Isabella was very special. Although she was so excited for it all, that she fell asleep and slept through most of it. When she did wake up she stared at all the activities, but mainly was mesmerized by the Christmas lights. Overall it was a fun holiday season even with the many feet of snow. At least we had a White Christmas

Breakfast with Santa



So last Sunday we went to Madeleine's in downtown Spokane with the Katke family for Isabella's first "Breakfast with Santa." It was a delicious brunch, but I must say that the Santa there was a little cheesy. We then went across the street to River Park Square for official Santa pictures. We really like the Santa there, more realistic (well at least his beard is real...)



Here is the Cheesy Santa picture...
















Here are the pictures of the River Park Square Santa. On the left is Isabella with her cousins Julia (4 years), Claire (2 1/2 years), and Abi (4 years). On the right is Isabella with the River Park Square Santa. Isabella is now 12 weeks old!
