Just chillin.' She hates the camera flash.

Izzy and Grayson (Lindsay Huggenberger-Rhoads's son). Grayson kept trying to take Izzy's sweater off and taking her paci.

SHE'S CRAWLING! Izzy started crawling on the 4th day of her 42 week. She first started only crawling if I would entice her, but now she is getting around for more than just that. She doesn't like to crawl on the hard wood floors though. They are too slippery.

Early in this week we went to a birthday party. One of my best friend's little girl turned 6. I can't believe it. Macy was the first of the kids in our little group. I'm just dumbfounded.

Izzy is still doing all the same things. I'll write next week.

This week we went home for our pseudo-Easter. We got to GI around 3 on Saturday and headed to Fonner Park. Izzy didn't think much of the horses in the beginning, but then she really started to watch them the closer we got to the track. She was the only one that came out ahead. All of our tips were completely bogus.

Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa D's for Easter lunch. Great grandmas and grandpas were there, aunts, uncles, cousins, and great aunts and uncles. We had a very nice lunch. Grand Island was a quick trip, but it was nice to be home.

The rest of this week was pretty uneventful. The little turkey hasn't done anything new. Talk to you soon.

Izzy's first Easter basket.

What is this grassy stuff on my toes?

Eating Mr. Bunny's ears.

Eating rubber ducky. I'm telling you she eats everything she can. Those darn teeth.

She loves her glow worm.

Izzy had her 9 month check up on the Wednesday before she turned 40 weeks. She was doing well. Her stats were 82% for head circumference, 71% for weight, and only 47% for heighth. Hopefully these stats will start to become proportional. Poor girl! We were given the ok to start trying normal formula. We are starting with 2 oz of Gentlease and 5 oz. of Nutramigen and see how she does. So we've been doing it for 5 days now and everything seems to be going ok. Cheaper formula, here we come!

Izzy still isn't crawling, but still getting on all fours and pulling herself up to standing. No walking while supported. She is still waving "hi." She is clapping and shaking her hands in the air when we get excited and say, "Yeaaaah." We are starting to eat a few more finger foods and are doing very well with chicken and of course your basic fruits and veggies. She has 7 teeth and I think more are coming. She is constantly chewing on toys and her hands.

We were unable to go home for Easter this year because Mark was on call so we had a mini Easter at home. Izzy wasn't so sure about the plastic grass in her basket, but she loved her bunny and the plastic eggs.

Daddy turned 37 on Wednesday and we took time to go to Lo Sole Mio for dinner and we had a great time. Kylie from daycare came and watched Izzy and they had a great time. It's nice to have babysitters that you really trust. On to 41 weeks. I can't believe it.
