Hello again! Let's see what I have to share with you. We had a review with David and some nice people with the county to see if he has any developmental delays. I think I mentioned it last time, or some time, that he didn't pull his head up very well for a 5 month old, but as I said, he was OK for a 3 1/2 month old. But just to be sure, we got an appointment with the county nurses and physical therapists just in case. And of course, David is doing just fine. He's just in that in-between state.

David, by the way, is now 6 moths old! In hind sight, it has gone by quick. He's also got two new friends he hasn't met yet, as Amy and Paul, and Mike and Heather, both just had little babies. Congrats to all!

Isabelle is so smart, and learning new stuff everyday. And remembering things too! The other day she was in the bathroom to take a bath, and she saw her cow ball, which is just a little kids ball, but painted in the traditional black and white Bessie motif. She grabbed her ball, and asked Julie if she could have Grandma Judy give her a bath. Just like that, out of nowhere. And I don't even think she got to take that ball to the bathtub when Grandma Judy was here, but apparently, Grandma Judy created some kind of memory with that ball in little Isabelle's head. Some of you might remember the giant cow balloon incident a few months back.


Isabelle loves to dance. Every after bath time, she does a little ditty in the middle of the living room. night Isabelle also likes to kiss everyone goodnight now, even the cats. We'll start off to the bedroom, and she says, "kiss Loopy?" So we hold her near the kitties, and she puckers and makes a kissing sound. The cats are not sure what to do with that yet.


Now that winter is waning, we are getting a lot of flower and tree blossoms. She loves to get her nose right in there and smell 'em. The other day, she came in with a big patch of yellow under her nose after smelling a daffodil, ......about 20 times. Yesterday, she picked some rosemary for me to smell when I got back from work. Isabelle calls it 'Nosemary.' She is also very dramatic when she finds something new. Today she picked up a pine cone, and let loose a big "ooOOOOoooo, show Daddy."

Speaking of Daddy, I had an eye exam today. Just wanted to see how I was doing (no pun intended) since I haven't been seeing as well in the last couple of years. Turns out I'm 20/20. Go figure.
