Gymboree

Today, October 18th Isabella attended her first play and learn class at Gymboree.  Her sitter Angela took her.  Angela said she did great and had a lot of fun.  She really loved playing with the balls.  Angela was so gracious to capture a few photos so we could share in the experience.  Isabella will be attending this class weekly.

Pumpkin Patch

On October 8th, we took Isabella to Maris Farms Pumpkin Patch.  We had the pleasure of sharing this experience with both sets of Grandparents, Isabella's Aunt Sarah, Uncle Nate, and cousin Jackson, and Garrett's cousin Jared.  Isabella was in a great mood for the event.  So great that I think she tuckered herself out and was knocked out at the end of the trip which you will see from the photos.

5 month photos

We tried somewhere new for Isabella's 5 month photos.  This time we went to JC Penney's.  She wasn't in the best of mood, but we were still able to get a few cute photos.  The hat was made for Isabella by my good friend Stephanie Kraft.

Trip to Oregon

Isabella was already 5 months old and hadn't met any one from my mom's side of the family, including her Great Grandma Bonnie.  We knew a trip was in order.  Over labor day weekend, we (me, my husband, my mom, and my brother's family) made the trek down to Salem, OR.  Considering the distance Isabella did pretty well.  My uncle Charlie hosted a cornfest family get together.  It was so great to get to see everyone, and have them all meet Isabella.  Here are a few photos from the trip.

 

First Boat Trip

Time keeps flying by.  I haven't been good at keeping up on the blog.  On August 28th, Isabella went out on the Puget Sound for the first time.  The first minute or so she seemed a bit scared, but after that she was a pro.  Here are some photos from our time out.

RIce Cereal

Isabella has started staring intently at and reaching for food that others are eating.  The doctor said when this occurs she is ready to start solid food.  Therefore, we started Isabella on rice cereal on August 27th.  She loved it and Garrett couldn't feed it to her fast enough.  Here are a few photos from the experience.

4 Month Check Up and Photos

Today I took Isabella in for her 4 month check up.  She is doing great.  Below are her stats:

Height: 24"  (50th percentile)
Weight: 11 lbs 10 oz  (10th percentile)
Head Circ: 16"  (45th percentile)

As you can tell from her stats she is a long and lean baby.  Not too much chub on her.  Not surprising considering how active she is all the time.

Also, we took Isabella in last Saturday to have her 4 month photos taken.  Instead of having to drive to either Lynnwood or Tacoma to have them done at Picture People, I decided to go to Sears.  Below is a link to all the photos.  There are a lot on the Sears website, but we only ordered a few.
