She is Walking!

For the last month Isabella has been taking one or two steps but tonight we finally got her on video taking more. It is amazing how fast she is growing!!

Snow!!!

It snowed in Portland!!! Geared up in her snowsuit, Isabella had a blast in her new sled.

Happy Birthday Aunt Gretchen

Isabella had fun blowing out candles with Aunt Gretchen.

Doing laundry

Isabella has a lot of fun pulling the socks out of the laundry basket. So much fun she passes out on top of them.

Merry Christmas

It has been a funfilled and eventful two days. Isabella is really enjoying her Christmas. She received thoughtful and fun gifts from Santa and so many wonderful family members and friends. It has been so much fun watching open gifts and play with each item. She moves from one toy to the next and keeps on going. I have a new appreciation for all the hardwork my parents went through with four kids. It's a lot of work - but so worth it on Christmas morning. We are blessed:)

Lucky Girl

Isabella had sooo much fun with her visitors. She loves her new playhouse from Grandpa and family!!! Thought it was so fun to peak through the windows. She also went shopping and bowling. She clapped everytime someone did well. It was a blast.

Loves her dress from Aunt Tuyen

Early Christmas

Isabella is so lucky to have Grandpa Reed and Uncle Mason come visit her. She even was allowed to open her Christmas present early. She had so much fun and loved learning on to play with her instrument.

Christmas Tree

Isabella had a blast searching for the perfect Christmas tree. She loved walking through the trees and being outside. It was an adventure and after a quick search we found the perfect tree. Tony did a great job cutting and loading it into our truck. A new family tradition has begun!

Visit with Santa

Isabella had her first experience with Santa. We waited for him to finish feeding his reindeer and on his return he took three escalators to the bottom of the mall. The whole time wishing everyone a merry christmas and hohohoing. Isabella was delighted, smiling, clapping, and waving. So we are smiling to each other and saying great we are going to get a fantastic picture. As you can see, sitting on Santa's lap and waving are two different experiences.

She loves to feed herself
