Sinterklaas 2007

Hi,

Mommy, Daddy and Anna took me to the Sinterklaas feest this year. The Blue piet looks kinda familiar.

The leaves are falling.

It's so much fun, to play in the leaves.

First day at daycare

Here I am for the first time at daycare and mommy almost didnt cry...

1st ride

We went to the Italian Festival. I was safely tucked into the baby bjorn. But since it was so hot it was nice to have the breeze!!

1st Airplane ride

Boy was that fun for mom and dad!! We took the red eye and I think me and my si

s did GREAT. I cried and cried when mom took me from nana. But as you can see when we landed. Annaliles, Au' Au' (monkey) and I were FAST asleep. Thank you dad for flying out of Saturday and coming back to Chicago on Sunday!! You are the GREATEST!!

Kissing mom and napping with Anna

It was the first time I rolled over. It was to kiss my mommy. It made her and nana cry.

Anna and I fell asleep holding hands. I can

tell we are going to be great friends. The last picture is me waking up. I try to smile and laugh. It is my favorite time with just mommy and me :)

Lunch with my cousin

I was very lucky to meet my cousin. Isabella calls me Ellie. I think it is a cute nick name. With our names so close together Bella then Ella. It sets me apart. My mom laughs because she calls her cousin Melissa ME-ME. I actually sucked my thumb for the first time in Me-Me arms. Nice and comfortable :) (no you can't keep me but I'll come to visit oh and mommy says she hasn't printed out the pictures. But as soon as she does she will send them to you)

Just swinging around

Same swing that my big sis' used last time. Worked perfect for me!! I

was just chillin'.

Nana, Papa and Ella

First time I met my pappa.....Anna wouldn't let him hold me At first. But by the end of the 2 weeks, it was all good.

Sorry we kept you up!!

my trip to arizona

We had a great car ride to AZ. We left Thurs and got there Sunday. It was a great time with the girls.

So cute....Izabella is doing great!! We head to the dr. Tuesday but by the looks of it she is growing very fast!! Her dark hair has not fallen out.....so she may just have mommy's dark hair after all. We remember when Mannie was born with dark hair, fell out and came back blond. But I don't think that is going to happen for Ella.

Bonding with the Doggies

Here I am with my big buddy Angel.
He is bonding with me pretty well.

My first Bath

Here I am taking my first bath.
My sister Anna even let me use her bath thermometer crab.

I love my swing

I love my swing, here are some pictures of me in it.

Hello sunshine

Here I am with my mommy, outside in the shade.
They say sunlight is good in preventing jondis. (since I dont have it, being indirectly in the sun should keep me from getting it too)
It is so nice outside, I love being here with my mommy.

Little sister Big sister

Here are some pictures of my big sister and I.

I really like her.

It's nice out here

I never thought it would be so nice out here in the big wide world.

It took a little getting used to, but it is great...

I have a name

As you found out, by going to this link, my name is Izabella Marie, mommy and daddy will call me Ella.

I'm here

For those of you, who really want to see me get born (with a c-section.
