Thought this pic was one worth sharing. Our friends and Daria's sorority sister had their little man just three days before Isabella. We've been enjoying synchronized maternity leave over the last few weeks. This is a pic of Isabella and Abram. He was due 10 days before her, though he was born only 3 days earlier.To celebrate Daddy's birthday, we had some new pics taken of Isabella. She was a little supermodel. Well, for about 20 minutes anyway. I'll post those soon.

Say Cheese!

That's right. Isabella shared her first big smile today! And I promise this wasn't gas. We'll get lots of pics once she decides to do it again and again and again...

Our little girl is growing like a little weed. Well, the cute kind of weed that you decide to let grow. :) At our last doctor's appointment (5 weeks) she had gained 9 oz in one week, which is right on track with her pediatrician's expectations. She moved from the 10th to the 25th percentile in weight - now 8lbs 9oz. We're even expecting to move into the size 1 diapers within the next couple weeks.

We did have a little scare on her first big road trip. Grandma Tutu and mom took her down to Arkansas to see her Auntie and Cuz. We wound up spending an evening in the ER - thanks to her cautious mom, but we did find out that miss Isabella had her first virus. Since then, we've been taking it easy and giving her a little extra (if that's possible) TLC. But even a trip to the ER can be a good photo opp...

With maternity leave now half over, we're enjoying every moment together and looking forward to some warm weather days.

Here are a few more cute pics from Isabella's tummy time and all-time favorite bath time...
