Husker spirit!

So sweet.

Happy Halloween!

Our little pumpkin!

Boo to you! My mom made all these little leg warmers. So creative.

Doesn't she look thrilled to be having her picture taken?

Tummy time!

Gamma and Grandpa K came to watch me this weekend while mommy was at work and daddy went to the Husker game again. Is football season over yet??? After the way the Huskers played on Saturday it should be. Then on Sunday we just hung out.

I am getting really good at voicing my opinion, watching my hands, and putting them in my mouth. I sit up really well with the support of my Boppy.

On Wednesday I had my 4 month check up. I did pretty well with my shots. Not a peep on the first one and a short scream on the second. I weighed 15lbs and 110zs (83%) and I was 25 1/4 in. long (85%). At least I am proportionate this time. The doctor asked if I was rolling over yet and I am not. Soooo, mommy and daddy have made me get all my tummy time in ever since. I hate it.

Gamma K went crazy this year on Halloween outfits so I had one for everyday Halloween week. I will start them during my 17th week and finish them on my 18th week. Hope you all have a spooktacular Halloween and we'll catch up soon.

Love, Izzy

Sweet 16!

Everything goes in her mouth now. She can almost put her whole fist in her mouth.

So precious.

No place like Nebraska....

Well, we've made it four months without a hitch (knock on wood!). At daycare today I picked Izzy up and went home. Once I got home I read her little progress sheet to see when she had been fed last. "1:45!!!!," it is now 6:00p. Wait a minute, she is not screaming. I think we are moving into longer times between feedings. Yeah!!!"

Friday we had visitors start coming in for the Texas Tech game. Mike and Jen Laun stayed at our house. We met up with Scott and Jen Yilk Friday night at Lit and had some dinner. Skippy and Jen had their two girls ,Kaitlyn and Sienna with them also. It is crazy how fast they grow up.

On Saturday, I had to work until noon and Mark went down to the game. The clan left the house around 10 am with Izzy in tow. The Jeep was so packed with Izzy's stuff that Skippy had to ride in the way back. Heidi Kreifels watched Izzy and said she was so sweet. She couldn't believe how much she loved watching football. On Sunday we just vegged out. Izzy and I went to the mall for a little while and walked around, enjoying the beautiful weather. Mike and Jen left Monday morning.

Talk next week.

15 Weeks!

Go Big Red!!! Huskers beat Missouri!

I love my baby girl.

I can't believe it is already October. I haven't even started thinking about Halloween decorations. I suppose I should get those out soon. On Izzy's 15th week birthday we hung out and watched Nebraska win by the hair of their chinny-chin-chin. Of course Izzy slept through the entire game. She has been falling asleep around 6:30p and I have to wake her for her 7:20p and 9:30p feeding. I think we may start cutting out the late night feeding and see how she does. I'm a little hesitant because she is sleeping so well. She will sleep until about 5 or 6 am. I love it.

This weekend we are going to visit all the grandparents in GI. It's suppose to snow so we'll see how it goes. It's a whole new story travelling in those conditions with a little one. Cell phone charged....check. Five blankets....check. Bottles.....check. "Car just please get me to where I need to go."

Saturday morning we were surprised at the amount of snow on the ground. We got up an got ready and daddy went and drove around to see how the roads were. He gave us the ok to travel to GI. We hung out w/ Gamma and Grandpa K in the morning. We also visited Great Grandma and Grandpa K, then we had dinner with Gma and Gpa Doering. On Sunday Great Grandma and Grandpa Brown from Mommy's side came to visit and then we left around 2 o'clock. Daddy said he really missed us when we got home.

The day before Izzy's 16th week birthday she started to talk. It was the greatest thing to witness. I made a brrp sound with my lips and she did it back 2 to 3 times. Mark was home with us and I yelled at him to come see. He then did it to her and she did it back. Now we can't get her to do it again, but she is making what we call the Chewbaca sound. That is how she now communicates. It is awesome, we can have our own little conversation Chewy style.

14 weeks! Wish we were counting slower!

Nothing new this week. Things have been pretty low key which is good. Izzy is smiling and kicking alot. She coos every once in a while, but not as much as I would like her to. Maybe it's because her daddy does all the talking for her:). There was no football game so we just hung out and had fun.

Friday night Izzy and Daddy spent the evening together so Mommy could have dinner with some girlfriends. Mommy got home at 11 o'clock and Daddy had mastered it. He had Izzy down to sleep and almost all the laundry done. Can we say Mr. Mom or what!?!

Talk soon,

Ariann and Izzy
