It was bittersweet saying good-bye to 2008! We received the best gift possible, our beautiful baby girl. As we move into 2009, we look forward to the many milestones Isabella will conquer!!
She already is trying to pull herself up into a seated position, she's starting to hold her own bottles, she loves to stand up, and when we place her on her tummy, her little legs go like crazy but she just can't get herself in the position to crawl yet.
This year we will get to see her grow so much. She will crawl, walk, hopefully start talking, take her first vacations (one to see Aunt Donna and Uncle Jim, the other to Hilton Head SC), experience her first real summer, get her first teeth, and many other things that are going to make me realize even more that she is growing so fast.
As we enter the new year, I have one major goal for myself. I'm going to enter a contest with my mom, sister, and brother called "The Best Loser." The team with the highest weight loss percentage will win $1000. Yes, I'm going to loose weight. I want to get rid of the 10 pounds I can't seem to shed that our left from Bella. I wouldn't mind losing another 15 pounds on top of that. I tease Jason, telling him I want to get back to pre-Jason weight. It's amazing what 4 1/2 years does to you!! So we'll see how it goes and if I'm able to reach my goal!!
Hope everyone enjoyed the start to their new year! Best of luck too all in achieving your resolutions!!

Hey Tab!
When are you guys going to see Aunt Donna & Uncle Jim? We leave tomorrow at 5:00 and are staying until Sunday afternoon. We will let you guys know all the hot spots and hopefully when you guys go you will get to go to the Grand Canyon-I'm a little sad we cant because of a foot of snow and the lack of chains on the tires of our rental car through Flagstaff!! Where did you find out about this contest-sounds like a neat idea, tell your team I said good luck! Hope to see you guys soon. When are you headed to Monrovia next?
Thanks, can you tell I've been bored?! The things I added are all really easy and free to add... the music is from playlist.com. You can build your own play list and then make an html to paste in your blog. This is the same for the countdown to our first anniversary-its from daisypath.com and they have birthdays, etc. In order to insert the html you go to customize your layout and click add new feature, then scroll down until you see the html addition. This is also where you can find tons of stuff to add. The collage I just posted yesterday is from Picasa, which is a photo editing, storing, creating element that you can find by going ot Google.com and typing in Picasa. You know how when you are at the google home page and there are lots of links to click on (ie: web, images, maps, etc,) click more and Picasa is in there. Its nice bc you can edit pictures and upload straight to the blog since they are both owned by google!
