More Isla Pictures

We are so in love with our little girl and think she is just the cutest thing! I wanted to share some updated pictures of Miss Isla:She likes to fall asleep under her play mat:

Hank's Tummy Time

Poor Hank. He just doesn't get that much attention anymore. Whenever we would bring out the camera it was always to take pictures of him. Now, things have definitely changed. He hasn't been the focus of any pictures since our little girl came home . . . until Saturday night. We had Isla's tummy time mat all set up on the floor and Hank decided that it was time for him to try it out. He placed himself perfectly on the miniature boppy pillow and pacified with his goose. It was too funny not to take pictures of him. Hopefully he enjoyed the short time the focus was placed back on him. Here are the pictures:

Weekend Fun

Last weekend Isla's aunt Anna and Grandma Connie came to visit. It was Grandma Connie's birthday and Isla had a fun time hanging out with her:

Minor Setback

Just as I was beginning to feel "normal" after having Isla (i.e. getting back to the gym, clothes fitting again) I had to have minor surgery on Friday and once again it will be awhile until I feel "normal". The surgery was nothing big and I am completely healthy, but the recovery did leave me out of commission for a couple of days. Auntie Anna came to the rescue and was able to help Ryan out with Isla. It was hard not being able to take care of Isla - she is so much fun right now. We finally got our first smile from her and her little personality is starting to show. We are now getting longer stretches of sleep out of her at night (she slept 6 hours last night - yeah!).

Ryan is going back to work tomorrow and Isla and I are going to miss him so much. He was such a huge help with Isla - I wouldn't have been able to do this whole parenting thing without him.

Happy Halloween!

Auntie Anna came down to Boise this weekend to spend Halloween with her niece. We all dressed up in our homemade costumes (Isla was a ladybug that was not homemade, but Ryan, Anna and I all dressed up in things we already had). Ryan was a ex-high-school-football-player-still-living-in-the-past-guy, Anna was a cheerleader and I was Ophelia Cummings, Sex Therapist. Ryan's costume was by far the best and everytime I looked at him I couldn't help but laugh. We attended a party at the Bordner's house and we all had a great time. Here are pictures from the night:

There was also a flamenco dancer (Meredith Hamilton) who was helping the frog (Aiden Kearney) with his costume at the party:
