We're back on track with our 365 project.

I really love Izze's hands in this picture. She loves for me to put my hair in her face and shake it, she's always loved it, since she was a little a baby. I could giggle her all day.

We're both sick right now, so we're cooped up at home and we can't even go see Izze's new little cousin Kyson and we love him a lot already! Hopefully we get better soon!

Izze's been a big helper lately. With laundry she hands me clothes to put in the washer, sometimes she'll drag a basket to the laundry room all by herself. Then she helps me with dishes, she hands me the silverware to put away. And she understands so much now, if you tell her to put something away, she usually knows right where it goes. If we say get a diaper, she can lead you to it, when we take off her clothes she knows they go in her laundry basket. I love to watch her grow.

:D Being a mama is the best job in the world.

We moved.

After much consideration, Jeremy and I realized selling our house quickly and renting an apartment would be better for us for a bit. I feel like we've finally settled in. We moved just around the corner from our home into a basement apartment. It's sad to leave our first house and it's a little discouraging to go back to renting, but it's the best thing for our family right now. I can stay at home with Izze and we can save money. We're going to probably build a house this next time and it won't be until after Jeremy has his own store, we thought that day would come a lot sooner.

We really love our new apartment, there's soooo much space for Izze and Titus to run around and there's CLOSETS!!! And a ton of storage, things Jeremy and I never really had before. There's even a dog door for Titus. It's really great for us. Next thing: pay off the car, that is just draining us... let this be a lesson, don't buy a new car off the lot!!! haha!

Unfortunately Izze some how got a hold of our stash of memory cards and thought she'd give them a bath in Titus' water dish. So my project 365 came to a stop for now and there's not any pictures of our new place yet.

As far as new Izze things, she can say "bath" now and she can make a bunny face and a fish face, she can also do a somersault. This baby is nuts!!!

Sorry there's no cute Izze face to hold you over, but I still thought I'd give a quick catch up.

:D

I love this new trick.

Izze knows pretty much all of her body parts and will point to them or show them when asked. My favorites are "show us your tongue" and this is what she does. Or "where is your brain" and she points to her head.

She can also shake her bum and spin spin spin. My little monster is getting so very big.

Bitty Ballerina

Izze got a new leotard. She's the cutest little ballerina I've seen!


























She didn't really want to cooperate, but I did get a few pictures.

Still keeping up with project 365. This was yesterday's photo. Izze fought her morning nap and was still awake when we usually have a snack. I gave her a snack and put her in the high chair while I was making bread and PURPLE COWS!!! :D Even over the loud blender and kitchen mixer and clanking of pots and pans she managed to fall asleep in her high chair. She's only done this two times, but this is the first time I got to witness it. The really cute thing is that her little feet were kicking in her sleep. She must have been dreaming about running.

I sure love this little girl, she keeps my hands full, but she's a lot of fun. For the record... my bread turned out great, I've never made bread before and I made banana chocolate chip bread and it was yummy! Now that Izze's eating with us and she pretty much eats what we eat I've really been learning to cook. When Jeremy and I first got married I could ramen noodles and cereal and that was it! Now I'm more confident and I'm trying new things I even use a slow cooker at least once a week! I'm growing up! :D haha!

Well, I think Izze's waking up, so I better go check on her. :D

Keeping up.

Izze day 11

I haven't missed a day so that's two weeks down on the 365 (366 days actually) Challenge.

Here is Izze on Day 11. Click on the picture to see full size.

Izze's learning how to eat with utensils. Tofu scramble seemed like a good idea until it started to crumble, it really seemed like a bad idea the minute Izze pulled the bowl up and all her food went flying all over the kitchen! Even Titus couldn't clean up that mess!!

Izze has been doing the actions to Itsy Bitsy Spider, and I finally caught it on camera when Jordan came to visit the other day. Don't mind how messy our desk is. I've been doing some major spring reorganizing and I was right in the middle of it right there.



We finally have Izze's one year appointment today (she's 14.5 months!) so we'll get the whole scoop on how she's growing and developing, and hopefully our new doctor will have some advice on how to get her to sleep through the night--in--her--own--bed!!

And now? A trip to the D.I. Maybe even two trips!

Whew!
