Sweetwater Park–Isabelle and Family on Swing

Today was a wonderful day.  The fam went to the library…picked up a book or two and a Baby Einstein.  Then we headed to the park….it was technically Isabelle’s second time on a swing (as her first was in utero), but this was the first time we were able to see her smile.  She not [...]

Isabelle, Daddy and the Backpack

Isabelle loves to ride in her backpack–thanks Erica and Mark for the great recommendation of a backpack.  She smiles so much in the backpack in between pulling some hair, eating some bobby pins, and dropping toys.  Oh what adventures!

Brunch at Gaia

Today we went to Gaia for brunch–this a crepe restaurant in our old stomping ground (Pearl Street).  We met Rose, April, and Kavi there.  It was lots of fun.  Thanks Auntie Kavi for holding me so my Mama and Dada could eat.

Papa’s Name Badge

Papa and Nana visted for 8 days…it was so wonderful.  Isabelle held on to Papa’s name badge from his conference—a new chew toy that she could be proud of.

Mama’s First Mother’s Day — A Trip to the Botanical Garden

  Although this was technically my second mother’s day (as Isabelle was in utero last year)–well, this one was the best.  Ben, Papa, Nana, Isabelle and I all went the Denver Botanical Garden.  There were many beautiful flowers and great bug sculptures.  Nana pointed out flowers that we have in our own backyard.  Isabelle played [...]

Isabelle Smiling

  Isabelle is always smiling…we are so lucky that she is such a happy and fun baby.  Here’s a few pics of a few of her smiles.  

Cici’s Pizza with The Wakefields

Papa, Nana, the three of us and the Wakefields all went to Cici’s Pizza for a bite to eat and some good talks.  In between video games, feedings, and multiple plates we had a darn tootin good time.

Isabelle’s First Swim

  Isabelle loves the water. She has just learned how to splash, and we have just learned how to be okay with her being completely submerged in water (for one second only, mind you). While all of the other kids were somewhat skittish about getting in and staying in the water, Isabelle seems to be [...]

Isabelle at the Kitchen Table

  We bought a new kitchen table so that Isabelle’s high chair would attach.  She loves having meals with us (or at least watching us have meals).  As usual, she was all smiles and we just had to catch them on film.
