Funny Video & Christmas Picture Preview

Dave and I were feeding Izzy peaches for the first time this past weekend and I was playing around with my iPhone taking pictures of her. I showed her a picture of herself and she had quite the reaction to it! (click on the video below to see) She's such an animated little girl, it's just amazing to see her smiling non-stop and so very happy! We got a big kick out of her reaction. This thing should be sent into America's Funniest Videos - it just might have a shot!

We also had our favorite photographer in the world (http://www.chelsiekrafka.com/) take Christmas Pictures of Izzy a few weeks ago. Click on Chelsie's blog to see a few favorites of little Isabella!
We chose to have Chelsie capture our wedding memories in October of 2007, now a few years later and she's taken Maternity pictures, newborn pictures of Izzy (which were just published in 'Her Voice' magazine up north), and now Izzy's Christmas pictures. Chelsie, you are sure to see Izzy grow up through your camera lens, as we plan to have many more fun memories for you to capture for us, and can't thank you enough for the wonderful work you do!

A Giggling Girl

Dave is so incredibly awesome at making Izzy laugh, this was during her dinner last night. She tried avacados for the first time and LOVED them!

Got some new pics for you!

'I just wanna be your teddy bear'....lil elvis for you from the bubble queen.

Look Ma - I'm sittn up like a big girl! (However Mommy dressed me like a boy today....) You can't see it, but there's a little pink horsey on the outfit, I bought this prior to knowing if we were having a boy or girl...had to use it while it still fit her!

Izzy's first time eating sweet potatoes and boy was it a success! She has now learned to spit and sputter her mouth, so it goes everywhere - never thought I could have so much fun getting sweet potatoe spit in my face!


Mommy dresses me in these silly hats...so I go with it...but then Daddy makes me look like a little thug and puts it to the side....what's up with that Daddy?

I love my baths almost as much as Mommy loves putting bubbles on my head and making me look funny!

I heart my 'winkel' (http://www.fatbraintoys.com/) - the site has super cool educational toys for kids, this teething toy is one of her favorites.

That's all for now...stay tuned for pictures of Izzy trying mashed potatoes for the first time at Thanksgiving next week! I'll try and get a video or two to post.

Izzy's 1st Halloween was a Good one!

K, so we're going backwards in how these pictures posted from the weekend. Izzy was so confident the Vikes would win yesterday, she took a lil snooze and knew they had it in the bag!

This was Saturday night after our FULL day of trick-or-treating - she had a good nap and then was up and ready to play!
Here is Nate and Logan Erickson with Izzy and Dave - Logan was the little boy off of 'Where the Wild Things Are' - absolutely adorable, we give Nate and Marisha 1st prize for creativity with their 7 week old B-E-A-utiful little boy!

Izzy didn't get scared of Auntie Meghan's Vampire costume, she tried to kiss her fangs!

This was at the end of the day at Auntie Sarah & Uncle Mike's house - Izzy was a tired chick!

On our way up to Brainerd on Saturday morning...Iz was making some important calls...gettn' some work done. ;o)

Here's the 'cutest chick in town'!

Izzy's thoughts: Mom...you're gonna have 10,000 pictures of me by the time I'm 2, give it a REST already!

Trick-or-tweeeeet!
Auntie Jody and Cousin Jack (as Megatron) snap a quick pick.

BOO!

That's all for now - we had a wonderful weekend seeing everyone! We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!
