Scary Movie Isabelle

This is Isabelle's new thing, she lunges forward at me and then laughs when I do it back at her. Sorry about the abrupt ending, my camera died. Also, pay no attention to the oh so very loud Glenn Beck in the background. I guess I got caught up in the moment and forgot to turn down the volume. I'm like an old lady with her radio shows that can't hear.....I really can hear, that's just what it reminded me of.

New Couches.....again

Old Couch

New Couch

We've been quite busy around here, so due to the lack of posting I thought I'd fill you all in on what we've been up to. Well, two Sundays ago Jer decided that he hated our couch and thought it was very uncomfortable. I agreed, but have been wanting to take it back since we bought it because of the massive size....it takes up my entire rug and I really like the rug. Jer wouldn't let me send it back in the beginning, I guess it took him four months to figure it out. Anyway, we put it on Craigslist Sunday night and the next morning I had around 10 different offers, it sold the next day. Since then, we've been sitting on an air mattress which by the way, Izzy loved. We finally got our new couch delivered today, so I'm happy that we aren't on the floor anymore. Some of you may like the old one better, and in reality it really was a very nice looking couch, but it was really big and very uncomfortable. I have also decided that I prefer leather with kids, it seems they tend to spill things even when sippy cups are specifically designed to prevent that sort of thing. We are very happy with the new purchase and as soon as we get some other items (coffee table, lamp, throw pillows and some extra seating on the opposite side) it will be in even better shape. Well, I've also been painting so that post will be next.

Izzy and Dad

I took this picture the other day when Izzy was having a bad day. For those of you who don't know, she never did like Binky's, so when she was about 6 months old she decided to suck on her favorite blue blanket instead. As you can see, she still uses it like a pacifier. I'm not sure how long they suggest you let them suck on a blanket, since I don't think it's a common practice. I thought these guys just looked cute together. I'm currently trying to get her on video talking. I taught her how to say her name the other day and it's pretty funny, so if I can get her to do it for me I'll post it soon.
