Fun Times!

Here are some of the fun things Izzie has found to do at our house this winter . . .

Sit in the box that has/had all of our oranges in it.

Watch daddy shovel all the snow.

 And play with him through the window.

 Try really hard to climb onto the ottoman next to our couch . . .

. . . and making it!

 And wearing mommy's clothes!

And really, just being super cute and sweet!

New Tricks

Izzie has been teaching herself some new tricks lately, but this one is by far our favorite! :)

She loves to stand on her head, and when she gets positioned just right, she puts her arms up in the air behind her and expects everyone in the room to clap and cheer. She always seems to get thunderous applause wherever she goes . . .

Zoo Lights

We went to Zoo Lights this year at Hogle Zoo on the recommendation of some friends in our ward. They were really good—more than 1 million lights and lighted animated animals—and we suggest everyone try it out next year. You can see many of the real animals out and about too, and Santa even makes a nightly appearance!

 She wasn't really scared of Santa, she just wanted to get down and run around!

15 Months and More Pics

Izzie's a growing girl! Here's her super-healthy 15-month stats and some more cute pics!

Weight: 24 pounds, 5 ounces . . . 72nd percentile

Height: 31.5 inches . . . 81st percentile

Head: 73rd percentile

Just Because . . .

She's the cutest girl around!

Trick or Treat!

Here are some pictures from our Halloween celebrations! Hope you all had a fun weekend! :)

Baby Maddie & Our Little Walker

My sister was able to bless her baby this last weekend, and it was a great time! The whole fam got together for good food and conversation to celebrate this little princess:

Isn't her dress so pretty? And we all love her dark curly hair. She looks just like her mama! And some other news we have is that Izzie has started walking! She's still kind of wobbly but gets braver each passing day. Here are a couple silly shots of her walking to me:

Isn't that smile the cutest? She loves walking and giggles the whole time she's doing it. What a little nut! And did you notice the arms up in the air? My dad keeps telling her she looks like the gorilla on The Jungle Book, which I kind of have to agree with. Either way, she's one cute monkey! Speaking of cute, here's a couple more pics. Izzie's new favorite place is the princess couch she got for her birthday.

She throws her whole body back and just squeals with delight. She also likes to be buried with all of her stuffed animals while on the little couch. I'll try and get a pic of that soon. And, here's one last pic for fun:

Funny Little Munchkin

Look who found a magic box . . .

I was literally on the phone for about 20 seconds and she about emptied a whole box of tissues. What a stinker! But she was so happy in her pile of tissues that I couldn't resist taking a picture and laughing about it the whole time. I wish the picture did the pile of tissues justice. There were so many all around her that it was hilarious! Needless to say, she now wants to empty this box every time she is in our bedroom now.
