Isla: 9 months

Baby girl got weighed and measured, poked and shots and we discovered she had a little ear infection....so her first prescription of the pink medicine was ordered up to celebrate our happy baby's 9 months! Wahoo! She is absolutely back to her happy self by this Monday morning!

Here is her 9 month shot and a few of the bloopers.

Meet Ava the photographer

Man, we are having family pictures taken on Sunday, I can pretty much guarantee this will be Ava's pose: running.

We went out to a diner for dinner tonight, Ava grabbed my phone and took a few very purposeful pictures. She rotated the coke (water) cup just perfectly so the red was facing forward and snapped away, I dig this one, cause "baby" is a part of the composition! Such an artist!

Happy Halloween

She was posing, she didn't really do anything except sit there and look cute, I give it another year before she dives in and wants to carve it all herself. It's a crown, yes we carved a crown for the the tutu, crown wearing machine!

My pumpkins

One of the pumpkins is climbing all over me right now, the other is sleeping, so no, I didn't make pumpkin soup in the cauldron!

A blur of a weekend

Smacking her lips the entire time she was in the wagon! she must've have yummy pumpkin on the brain.

What a blur of a weekend!!

Pinata action!! It had fallen, so we resorted to letting the kids beat it while on the ground!

enjoying the loot

Organized mayhem!

No nap yesterday, so when I went in to get her after a failed second attempt.....I found this! Frustrated that she is not napping: yes! But slightly thrilled that she is being so orderly with the clothes she has pulled out of the drawers! Small victories here!

Monkey see, monkey do

In the blink of an Isla is pulling herself up on anything, she's proud of herself and has the smile to show for it. Ava has long been able to put her shoes on by herself and usually while standing up, but today's scenario cracked me up, as she insisted on holding my purse while she put on her shoes, monkey see, monkey do! Right!?
