I couldn't resist...

More of you "talking" ...today has been one of your chattiest days ever! If you were awake, you were talking (except come evening time when you got cranky!).

Our social butterfly....

The Isabell Gang at Great Aunt Evelyn's  Labor Day Barbeque- that is you sleeping in the sling

Getting ready to party! What a cute dress from Aunt Steffenie!

During a recent video- we showed the world your talking skills.  You recently blew us away, however, when we took you to a barbeque at Great Aunt Evelyn's for labor day.  You engaged every person that walked up to talk with your own special language of aooowwwwoooaaaaa.

Then, I took you over to my friend Luci's house- she had her baby Mahi 3 days after you were born.  The two of you LOVED each other- and you were so cute trying to grab her face and "kiss" (picture a big open slobbery baby mouth coming right at you- another of your favorite ways to interact!).   I think you have your first girlfriend!

Lean on me, sister.

Chitter chatter

You are really into talking right now- super freaking darling.

Best way to end a day.

I've been back at work now for three weeks.  My first day going back was so hard- I was crying when I left the house and the whole way to work, and then some more in the hallway when someone asked how I was doing.  But, lo and behold, as soon as I got home that first day and saw you having fun with your daddy- I felt 100% better and it has been fine ever since.

Coming home to you, daddy and Pepper makes my days SO fun.  I can't wait to get in the door and scoop you up and soak in the smiles you give me.  You get pretty excited to see me even if you are tired! I am also watching magic happen with you and your dad- the two of you are like two peas in a pod and you are growing closer and closer- it is wonderful to see.  Also, it is something not every little girl gets- lots and lots of dedicated daddy time.

Plus, your dad is excellent with the unpredictability of being with a baby- he loves not knowing what the day will be like.  That is something that is hard for me- I like to know what is coming!

More than anything- you are surrounded by loads of love and showered with hugs and kisses all day from both your parents and we can't imagine life without you.
