Little Robert loves his cousin Izzy!
Isabelle loves her tummy time, she actually has a really strong neck and has been trying to lift her head since day one!
This week little Isabelle has earned the nicknames: Diva, Primadonna, Prissy, Sassy, etc. We feel like her personality is starting to come out. She's definitely all girl, she doesn't like her diapers to be dirty any longer than one second, she loves being held and often will cry when she realizes no one's holding her, and when she wants something she wants it now!! Don't get me wrong, she's got a very soft and sweet side as well and is a really good baby, but she can turn on the Diva at times too! She's grown a lot this week as well. We can really tell that she's starting to fill out all over and she is almost grown out of her newborn clothes. We weighed her today and it looks like she's about 7lbs and 4 oz. This past Saturday Lynn Cole, the woman who did the photography at our wedding, came by our house and did an infant photo shoot of Isabelle and our family. We are very appreciative because she did a complimentary session as a thank you for referring her to our friends that used her services in their wedding. The pictures turned out great, but we had a very funny moment. Lynn suggested that Jeremy take his shirt off and have Isabelle naked on his chest for a very intimate Daddy/daughter photo. Jeremy reluctantly agreed, and within minutes Isabelle peed right on his belly. Moments later, Isabelle proceeded to poop right on him as well!! And it wasn't just a little poop, it was an explosion!! It was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing!! Jeremy was great, he took it all in stride, but got to the shower as quick as he could!! Definitely a great story to tell her when she's older. As far as breastfeeding goes, we're still working out the kinks, but she's really gotten the hang of it and is actually doing quite well. Sleeping is questionable each night, some nights she sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time, and others she's up every hour or two. We're starting to learn what she needs when she's not sleeping well, whether her belly hurts or she wants to eat some more. All in all she's doing really great and we're getting adjusted to having her home, and being parents. We're so thankful to the Lord for our little miracle and we love her so much. Please continue to pray for us and our baby as we continue on this journey as a family!

Wow Isabelle sounds so much like Marisa. They will be great friends! I love the story about her peeing and pooping on Jeremy. That is priceless! What a good daddy for being a good sport. I hope things are still going well. She is so cute by the way!
