Isla + The Pumpkin Patch.

We had been planning that last Sunday would be our 1st Annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch and the 24 degree cold didn't slow us down one bit.

Looking cuter than ever before we left to get pumpkins.

Getting out of the car. Thanks Grandma Jan for the awesome Snuggle Sack! It arrived the day before and was just perfect for this outing.

So excited about picking a pumpkin!

There it is, her very first pumpkin!

Could she be more thrilled? A big cold pumpkin and her warm sweet Pappa.

We went to a local farm and you literally had to walk through fields to find your pumpkin then cut it off of the vine.

A little pumpkin from Momma.

Look at her holding her little pumpkin...

This was right before we left, and I think both Isla and I were freezing. Right by the car was this big cardboard box full of these little pumpkins, which I thought would make a cute pic....but Isla was done. This face says it all....

Isla Had Cereal Today!

Well, kind of. I don't think she really swallowed any of it, but we will try again tomorrow!

Going in....

...Coming right back out.

She wore it well and at least we had fun!

Here is a video too:

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Growing up all of the Fox kids loved this book, and now its coming out as a movie. Not quite how I envisioned it as a kid, but it looks, well....fantastic!

And the movies blog is here. See how it was made.

Isla + Her Parisian Hat and Mittens.

A gift from Aunt Katrina, straight from Paris! Ooooo, La-la!
As you can tell she loved playing with (and tasting) the mittens!
Thanks Katrina, we love!

Isla is 5 months!

Isla was 5 months last Tuesday.
We can hardly believe it.
This is what Isla is doing now....
Isla is on the verge of sitting. She is a bit of a weeble wobble on her own, but she is very strong. She doesn't like laying around much anymore, she is much happier propped up. Her hands are much more coordinated. She can pick up her toys, or anything that is placed in front of her (cell phones, eyeglasses, you name it.) And when we are holding her she will lunge for things. She is also really chatty. She talks in a real whisper sometimes, other times she just squeals and screams in the highest pitch. Lots of drool and fingers in the mouth, we're on the look out for teeth. We occasionally find her sucking her thumb. As we have mentioned before she loves Ashby. She also loves the bird mobile in her nursery, and the nightlight that casts stars on all of the walls. She smiles at strangers pretty easily, and just fell in love with all of the recent visitors we had. She is not really ticklish but she likes the game of being tickled, the anticipation and the attention, I think. She also loves going for walks in the stroller. The other major recent change is that she is now sleeping in her crib through the night. Thank goodness.

Isla's New Book.

Thank you Dave & Megan! Hopefully Isla will make it to London sooner than later...Miss you guys, XOXO.
