Powell & Isabel

While my husband went on the annual hunting trip, the babes and I went to WY to visit the grandparents. We also got to see aunt Jerusha, uncle Wes and cousin Kennedy. :) We had a relaxing time, although, we didn't get out and about too much because of the wonderful swine flu outbreak. We did, however, get the kids' pictures done. My friend, Andie, who lives in WY, had her kids' pictures done when her youngest (who is only 1 1/2 weeks older than Isabel) was 2 months old. I absolutely loved them, so she was kind enough to let me in on who the photographer was. Since I was going to be up in October, my mom and I decided to get Powell and Isabel's pictures done. I gave Dani (the photographer) a call, and she was able to come up from Utah to Wyoming to take their pictures. Here is a little taste of the photoshoot.

6 Months

What a little chunk of love! Isabel is a serious, happy, fiesty little roly-poly. She still loves her big brother, and he can get the giggles out of her. She's still quite the puker, but happy! She still loves to eat, and eats just about anything you give her. Loves her cereal, veggies and fruit. When she wants out of her highchair, she gets quite the attitude and does the growly whine until you take her out. We're still working on sitting up. It gets a little difficult when she keeps spitting up all over the place, and she gets kind of tired as well, but we're almost there. We tried a sippy cup for the first time, and she's not too sure. She mostly just likes to pick it up and bang it on her tray. Loves her pacifier and her burpies, and snuggling before bedtime. She's our beautiful, blue-eyed little girl and we just love her!

Isabel's 6 month stats: 27" tall (90th percentile), 18 lbs 9 1/2 oz (92nd percentile), 18 1/2" head circumference (off the charts!).

The Finished Product...

Here are the "long-awaited" pictures of Powell's finished room. I'm sure more will be done with it in the future, but this is as done as it's going to get right now! Since my last post about his room, we've added the actual bed frame (which was Matt's growing up, we spray-painted it red), curtains, rug, book crates... Powell, of course, wanted to be included in at least one of the pictures of his room. :)

Close-up of his very cool puppets g'ma Candice has gotten him. They're made by Folkmanis. If you can't quite distinguish which ones he has, left to right are: llama, a little hedgehog, tarantula, terrier (which my dad picked out for him), guinea pig.

And this folks, is why we need the bed rail. My son, the crazy sleeper!
