She's a Beast!

On Friday, Sept. 12, Isabella was 1 month old. I can't believe it has gone that fast!! She had her check-up and boy were we shocked. She weighed 11 lbs 4oz and was 22 1/2 inches long. She has gained over 2 lbs since her last appointment and grown 2 inches. According to the doctor, she is the perfect baby! Also, things are getting better with her sleeping. She sleeps for at least 4 hours, sometimes more, at a time. She has also been sleeping more in her bassinet. I still let her sleep with me occassionally. :)

Time Flies...

Over the past week I have gotten way behind on my post. It's amazing how little time you have with a newborn. Thankfully she is napping so Ican catch everyone up on what has been going on in our lives lately...

Sept. 1

I celebrated my 28th birthday today. Jason had a nice little birthday party for me. Mom and dad, Jenn, Justin, Cara, Jason, Heidi, Neil, Mom and Dad Standeford, Jordan, and of course Jason and Isabella were all there to help me celebrate. I have such wonderful friends and family. I can't believe I'm 28 already. My favorite pic from the party...

Jenn and Justin celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary. Three years already!!

Sept. 6

Today we had a baby shower to welcome Isabella. It was such a great time! Amanda came all the way from Illinois to see her. I was so excited. We haven't seen each other since Jason and I got married in July 2007. Where does the time go!! Here are some pics from the shower...

This was the day after the shower. Daddy just got back from playing golf with Uncle John.

So that brings things up to date. Some things that have been happening with Bella the last week and a half...She has been staying awake more during the day, which makes our nights a little more pleasant. She has really been holding her head up and looking around. She has been focusing on certain objects. She has really come to love music, especially classical. I can't believe how big she is getting. People don't lie when they say they grow up so fast.

Oh and another wonderful thing about today, Jason and I met 4 years ago today while out at Have a Nice Day Cafe in downtown Indy. Who would of thought we would still be together, be married, and have a family. :) Until next time!
