Happy 11 Month Birthday Isabella!!!!

Isabella is 11 months old today!! I am also sharing some pictures from this weekend we had a baby shower at Tony's Nanny's house, and Isabella was in such a great mood. She has a little cold now though, so we have had a few rough nights, but that's ok.

I am Sick and Tired of these Stupid Recalls!!!!

Why are they recalling baby products because there are a few stupid parents out there who don't use common sense in using the products? The latest recall is the bumbo seat, in the event you don't know what this is, this is a picture of Isabella in hers at about 4 months old. Here is the link to the recall. Yes she is on the counter, and yes I put her in it on the table, but she was never ever unsupervised!! Then last week it was the infant cold medicines, that clearly state on the box for children under 2 contact doctor before giving it to them, and some parents are overdosing there children. Come on people a phone call to the doctor's office is free. I am so frustrated by this. My daughter is in daycare, so she gets colds, and sometimes a dose of cold medicine at night when she has a bad cold means the difference between a good nights sleep for her, and no sleep at all!! So yes I give her cold medicine, but I know through advice of the doctor how much she can have. The vast majority of parents do take the time to make sure they get the dosage right, so why are they being punished. They could have just put the medicines in the Pharmacy where you have to consult a pharmacist before being sold the medication to make sure you know how much to give your child!! It just makes me so mad that some people can't take a few minutes to ensure their children's safety. I feel so badly for those children, because horrible things happen when they get to much medicine!!

Let's Go for a Walk

Here are a few videos of Isabella walking (well taking a few steps):

That's probably enough videos for today!! Oh and How 'bout dem Saints!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bragging on My Baby!!

Before I get started, I have to say how 'bout them Saints!!! If they keep playing like this we still have a shot at the playoffs!

Isabella took her first step on September 29th, and has taken one or 2 steps a few times since then, but for the most part seemed more interested in crawling. Well last night she stood up and took 3 or 4 steps to Tony. So I got on the other side of Tony and she walked back and forth to each of us. She started off taking 3 or 4 steps, and by the time she was done she was taking 8 steps on her own. They were tiny baby steps, but it is a step in the right direction. I am so excited, and proud of my girl. She is growing up before my eyes.

Some New Isabella Pics

These were all taken this weekend. The first one is Isabella playing peek-a-boo under the ottoman. The second one is Isabella in her Cheerleader outfit, for the big game yesterday (I still believe, but it breaks my heart to see them play that way). The third one is a close up view of her new teeth, you can only see one really good but they are both there (that was a hard picture to take). Enjoy!!

And Then There Where Three!!!

Isabella cut her third tooth overnight last night, and the fourth one isn't very far behind. I guess I should have known when she got ticked off that I was trying to feel in her mouth, that something was coming soon. Poor baby was so restless overnight last night, she was moaning and groaning, and talking, and tossing and turning. She was so sleepy still this morning, and I had to bring her to daycare, but we can stay home tomorrow and catch up on some sleep. Needless to say I am exuasted from hearing this on the monitor all night, but I am so excited about this tooth. These front teeth are going to totally change her look once they come in all the way, but it will still be cute!!!!!!!

I am so proud of my little Pumpkin!!!!!!!

Well last week Isabella started standing on her own. She is doing better and better every day. Well Saturday she took her first step to mommy!!! And saturday was her 10 month birthday. I am sure she is only going to get better and better at it, but if she needs to get around she still crawls. My girl is growing up so fast, but I love every minute of it. Oh and she still hasn't cut any of those teeth, and this weekend she went on a hunger strike. She is refusing her solid foods. My poor baby her teeth must really be hurting her. It is funny though, because one day she is a complete crab and the next day she is chipper as can be. Oh well I give up, they may never cut!!!!!
