Growing Up

Isabella is growing up so fast...she is out of her N diapers and now into 1's.  Here are some videos and pictures of her.  She is about 3 1/2 weeks old now.  Oh yeah, and she's been to her first movie...Confessions of a Shopaholic (daddy watch out....I think she's going to love shopping with her mommy!)


Lucky loves to give Bella kisses!

We do "tummy time" every day.  She loves it, and is already lifting her head so much!

Isabella Turns 2 Weeks

It's amazing how fast these last two weeks have gone by.  Every day Isabella is changing and we think she already looks so different from her pictures in the hospital.  Isabella had her 12 day check-up with her pediatrician and she now weighs 8.1 lbs.  She has been such a good baby.  We are crossing our fingers that she continues to be the peaceful, relaxed baby that she has been these last two weeks. She never cries or gets upset unless when she's hungry, and that is very easy to fix.  

We would like to thank everyone who has come to visit, it's been so nice to introduce Isabella to you all.  Ben did go back to work after being home with us for a week.  It's very hard for him to be gone all day, when he gets home he can't wait to hold and be with Bella.  

I must say the adjustment to motherhood hasn't been as difficult as I thought.  I think with all the babysitting I have done, I was pretty well prepared!   I'm having so much fun, and enjoying watching Bella change everyday.  Here are some more recent pictures.
