Change

I died my hair!

It's been a MUCH needed change, and Ryan and I thought what better way!! He picked the color out and it looks pretty good! :O)

Isabelle is still crawling ALL over and getting into everything, and that's ok. It's fun chasing her. She's more crawling on her feet than her knees. We think she'll be walking VERY soon!! Oh, they grow up way too fast!!

Moving Success

We got all moved!!

It was a total success, and our new places rocks!! There is so much more room now, and it just feels more like home than ever before! We're all thrilled and Izzy is crawling ALL over the place, exploring and seeing what trouble she can get herself into!

Now, onto our little party tonight at our place! YAY!!! :O)

PS- Our courtyard!

An Explanation

Today I was thinking (which I do a lot of) that I might blog about our current situation. :O) I know that doesn't sound very fun, but I feel like typing it. So here we go:

Not a lot of people are lucky like me. I have my awesome Husband, Ryan and we have one AMAZING daughter, Isabelle. We moved to Connecticut in March, and in May, my mom moved out here to help us. Also, she can't stand being away from Izzy and miss seeing her grow up-who could!

I consider myself REALLY lucky, because not a lot of people get to have their mom around like I do. We're best friends and it is the best!! She misses my other Dad, Bob, but if he gets early retirement, he'll move out here asap too, and then we'll all be together, and life will be even more perfect! :O) If not, then he'll come visit in January for Izzy's 1st birthday and my Mom's b-day as well...and my guess is he'll move out here sooner, rather than later!

Mom just got a job at Whole Foods and she's sooooo excited and starts next Wednesday! It's literally one of the most beautiful (all organic) grocery stores I've EVER seen!!!

I have met some awesome people while living here at our apt. complex. I've become really close with Robin, Kristin and now I'm getting closer to Martha! It's amazing and kind of a blessing at the same time, because it's so hard to meet people here. They all love Izzy and Ryan and my Mom too!!

Ok, so now that we're all clear on the living situation I have a HUGE Isabelle update:

SHE'S CRAWLING ALL OVER OUR HOUSE!! It's insane, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I would be. Shew as moving three steps at a time and all in the same day she is all over the place and unstoppable!! She is amazing!! :O)

Ok, so for now I don't have any more updates, and if something pops up-I'll let you all know!

Mobile, Mobile!

Ok, so since my last post, so much has happened, and it hasn't even been I full week (I think)!

New things Izzy can do:
* She can pull up on the tv stand now, and walk herself over to the book shelf.
* She has discovered the volume button on the sound system and LOVES making it loud!
* She is talking so much now....more babble but as of late her favorite one is dadadadada :O)
* She loves to scream....happy and mad, it's really funny!!
* She is now crawling!!! She can officially go at least 3 paces and sits back up....but she's got it!!
* She knows that when she's in the kitchen she can get up on the cupboards....
IT'S OFFICIALLY TIME TO BABY PROOF EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

She's soo full of personality and it's so awesome!!! She is amazing and I LOVE watching her grow and change each day!!!

As of Late

Well as of late, we've been keeping pretty busy at the Kappelman Home. We've been trying to keep up with Izzy. She's doing something new everyday! She's still not crawling, but the other day while I was in the shower, Ryan was playing with her on the bed, and she crawled 3 steps to get to his computer...I guess she wanted it that bad! She hasn't done it again since though. With time, the little booger will be ALL over!!

We're preparing to move into a different apartment, here soon. We're finally upgrading into a two bedroom! Oh, it will be so nice!!

Last Friday (7/30) Izzy had her 3rd well baby visit. She's now 17 lbs 7 oz (75th percentile) and 26 inches long (50th percentile). She cried with her shots again....but stopped when I picked her up! She did really well.

We went back again today, to find out she has thrush again. Her poor little lips are so red, they almost looked like they wanted to bleed....and of course she has the white stuff. But now she's on some meds and hopefully things will clear up soon! Other than that, nothing too eventful is going on! :O) Till next time!

Trying New Things....

Yesterday, just for fun, Ryan and I decided to introduce Izzy to a sippy cup to see how she would handle it. As it turns out, she did rather well. She was putting it in her mouth and trying to suck, so we added a little milk and with time, and practice, she'll get the hang of it! :O)
She also got a new board book from Aunt Brianne and she's learning VERY well!

Birthday Weekend

Well, today marks my 24th birthday. I suppose I should feel older, but I still feel the same!

As of late, Izzy is still trying very hard to learn how to crawl. She's still pulling up on things and loves to stand! She can't get enough of it.

Yesterday we went to the mall and walked around. It was WAY too hot to be outside...then ended the day with a nice dinner with a few friends and LOTS of birthday cake and treats!!

Iz, of course, stole all the attention, but that's MORE than ok with me! :O)

Look What I Can Do

Somebody is very ready to start crawling! We think in the next week or so she'll be all over!!

Fearless

Today I pulled myself up on the jumparoo all by myself!! I'm a fearless little girl now!!

New Funny Face

A new face Iz loves making. While she's doing it, she sucks air in and out really fast and it is just down right hilarious!!
