Summer 2010!

Alright, so a lot has happened. We went with Ben to Albuquerque for a few months for his Pilot Instructor upgrade. We had amazing family time there. The girls are growing like crazy. Izzy sits up and eats babyfood now and Ellie has gotten tall and lean and talks CONSTANTLY. We got home in time to see Ben off to Afghanistan for the rest of the year. Scott will also be there for the rest of the year. So it’s just the girls. Also, Brittany and Scott were blessed with some very surprising news…they are going to have a baby! Sometime in January is when the blessed event will take place. The pictures will pretty much tell the story of our summer. Thanks for caring and sharing in our lives.

Ismylah these days

Izzy is now 2 months old! I cannot beleive how fast it has gone by. She is growing and changing everyday. She loves to smile and is working on a giggle these days when you look at her. When she hears Elli's voice near her she looks around frantically for it. She is sleeping pretty well. She is a good napper and is working on a 6-9 hour stretch of sleep every night. She gets into these restless sleep cycles where she kicks and grunts for hours though which keeps me up because I'm listening to see if she's waking up pr not...makes for not great sleep at all for me. We have recently purchased a swing from a friend and it has been such a lifesaver, Ellie missed out on this luxury. Izzy has been known to take a two hour nap in it too. I know that is a big no no for naptime, but you do what ya gotta do, especially with the second baby. Otherwise, Ismylah is such a good baby and she very rarely cries. She is a huge snuggler. Her favorite thing these days is her little fist. She likes to lick it like an ice cream cone and talk while she's doing it, it's really silly...can't wait for some of you to meet her and hold her
