Step by step

Isabelle is trying to walk. She started taking a few steps on her own a couple of weeks ago. She now takes a step or two to get from furniture to furniture and when you put her in front of you she will walk between two people and take up to 6 steps so far. She is pretty wobbly and she usually gets distracted by something like a toy or music and she falls down. I am sure with in the next week or two she is going to be walking all around. She is such a big girl!!
Also she is talking a lot more and getting a little personality. She says mama, dada, mom, dad, cat, dog, meow, uh-oh, oh-no, ouch, duck and I am sure there are others that I cannot think of right now. She also signs all done when she is done eating and more when she wants more.
She is getting a little temper too. Yesterday I was at my mom's picking her up and my mom had gotten her a new game and she was taking the ducks out of the game and throwing them across the room and when I told her not to do it, she would get made and start grunting and throwing more ducks.
We are starting to plan her 1st birthday party. It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since she was born. It truly feels like a few weeks ago that she was born. She has changed so much over the past year. She is such a blessing to our family.

Hello from CO

We're here in Longmont, at dad's. We've been to Santa Fe, and back now. Isabelle did well on the long drive down and back. She had a couple aunt's to keep her company. Below here is a small compilation of photos from that trip to Santa Fe and Bandelier. Hope everyone is well, we'll keep you all posted.
