Isabella in (one of) her new summer hat.

With a bit of a rocky start as she wasn't too keen on the whole hat situation she finally accepted it and then demanded her dummy and promptly fell asleep.....shopping is exhausting!!!

A lovely warm evening out in the 'seating area' Fredi made!

It was such lovely weather the other night and she loved being outside  listening to the birds....she was a little confused at where they actually were and wasn't too impressed with being moved around for a picture, but we enjoyed sitting out in the fresh air!

Check out just how cute I really am!!!!

As you can see Isabella's really getting to grips with smiling and is willingly throwing them out to everyone who talks to her rather than just reserving them for family members!!! Even on minimum sleep and being woken up she'll still flash those gums at you and that's one of the reasons why we love her so much.

Isabella's passport photo!!!

This is hilarious!!! We went into the photo shop to have her picture taken and had to wake her up as she was fast asleep as usual! I then had to perch sideways on a tall chair and prop her up on my knee which I had to suspend in mid air as there was nothing to rest it on, and have her upright and looking at the camera whilst my hands were nowhere to be seen!! Needless to say it took a while to get this shot as she wasn't playing ball and didn't feel she had to look in the general direction of the guy taking the picture so he was hopping from place to place......rather amusing. His comment about this photo was "She's cute but looks very mischievous". I bet she's going to love this when she's older!!!!

An exhausting day!

We have been very busy today. Mummy made a friend at the baby clinic so we teamed up to venture into the big wide world of 'clubs and classes' as you clearly can't do these things solo! So we went for the second time today and despite meaning we had to be up early as we needed to be out of the house 15 minutes later then when we usually wake up this didn't slow Isabella down at all! We set up camp in the corner with our new friends (Mum Victoria who is lovely, and baby James who is a day younger and 3 times the size of Isabella) and I was a great mum and promptly dumped her on the floor to have a good stretch and kick around......1 1/2 hours later she was still kicking, arm waving and looking around taking everything in, meanwhile James had gone back to sleep after a brief opening of the eyes for food!! We then went home where she fell asleep as soon as she got in her pushchair (you could almost hear her sigh of relief that it was all over and therefore she could finally relax) I struggled to wake her for her lunch and she went straight back to sleep, and it is now 30 minutes after when she should have been eating her dinner and as you can see from the photo she is absolutley out for the count still!!! But she loves it and then mummy has a day all to herself pretty much....can't be bad!

Isabella sitting in Daddy's computer chair! In the first picture she does look like she is practising her innocent 'wasn't me' expression for when she's a little older!

Boo!!! Good morning lovely people!!
