Just awake from a nap

I am working on getting Isla to nap on her own, as opposed to napping on me. Here she is having just woken up from a nap. I love this little face so much. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Silly smile

This is the new type of smile that Isla has been working on.

She's so silly! This was right after a nap. Notice the heavy blanket...still cold in here!

It's so cold!

It has been super cold lately. It seems like our heater hasn't been working as well as it should so we've been bundling up inside. Isla is usually a little furnace but even she has needed some extra warmth.

Auntie Neva got her this outfit and gave it to us when we were visiting Texas around Thanksgiving. At the time I never thought she'd fit into it! It is super warm and much needed. Mike did fix the heat, though, there was an out of sight vent that was full of dust so it's warm again, thankfully.

Bath time and standing (briefly)

Isla can lean on something/grab onto something and stand for a second or two at a time. This photo was taken very carefully.

Jan 20

We waited all day for an alarm that didn't ring. I hate that thing...hoping they aren't testing today, instead. Here's some fun on the playmat!

5 months old!

My baby girl is 5 months old today. Time is really flying.

3 outfits today

Me, not the babe. She had an outfit change, but only because we were going out and it is cold! I went through 3 shirts before noon. Here she is with an obviously remorseful look on her face. "Sorry, Mom. But I think you look better in blue."
